Jude and his team at Fingers and Forks delivered an exceptional dinner party for my birthday celebration. Everything was perfect, from the arrival reception and canapĂ©s to the four course dinner for 40 people. Food was fantastic and service exemplary. I couldnât recommend them enough to you to cater for your special occasion.

Absolutely bloody brilliant from start to finish. Nothing was to much trouble for our wedding. Last minute changes, sound advice and genuine care regarding every last detail. Charlotte worked her socks in the build up and on the actual day. The professionalism shown by Debbie and her team, particularly through uncertain times last year. They gave us comfort throughout and we couldn't have asked for a better catering company managing our wedding. Class from start to finish.. James and Rachel xx

What can we say! Thank you so much to Jude and his team for everything. Honestly he was incredible from start to finish. Not only did he ensure we had the most amazing food and catering at our wedding but Jude was also our guru, wedding planner and counsellor đ he helped us remain calm even when things felt difficult and overwhelming, Jude helped solve any issues we came across and I can honestly say our wedding would have not happened without him. Jude helped us create the most perfect and spectacular day even if it was no where near what we started planning years ago! Thank you so much for

We used Fingers & Forks for our wedding in July and after all the stress of the pandemic with our wedding date being moved, Hannah and the team were absolutely fantastic and reassured us they would make our day special with their superb menu and they certainly did that. Hannah was incredible in the lead up to our wedding day with excellent communication and advice and that didn't change on the day itself. Hannah and her team served our wedding breakfast very professionally and the food was exquisite, we absolutely loved how it was displayed and the attention to detail was 5*. All our guests loved

We used Fingers & Forks for our wedding at Ardington House in August 2021 and they were amazing! From the choice and quality of the food, to the impeccable service, they didn't put a foot wrong. They were super flexible in accommodating our ideas, and all our guests said that the food was some of the best wedding food they have ever tasted - the canapes went down particularly well! Not only that but the service before and during the wedding was perfect - we had to postpone several times due to COVID and Charlotte and the team were so understanding and supportive. Charlotte and the team were also

AMAZING.
We canât thank the Fingers & Forks team enough for being the best caterers for our wedding on 16th September 2021, a special thanks to Hannah and Duncan who were with us throughout our journey.
We had to postpone our wedding due to Covid and they were very accommodating and moved everything without any fees.
Our guests couldnât stop raving about the canapĂ©s, meal and evening food and we are still getting messages saying how good it all was.
If you are looking for a caterer look no where else!
Thank you, Cristina & James

Fingers and Forks are an incredible catering and events team that have supported us through many changes during the pandemic. After several postponements, we were lucky to have F+F cater our small civil ceremony in 2020 and our recent hindu blessing and reception. The food was AMAZING and every guest commented on how incredible it all was. The helped to create our fusion english and indian menu with some unique twists. We already can't wait to use them for catering services again!

Fingers & Forks supported our Wedding celebrations in July 2021 and they were an absolute dream to work with. We worked with them to create our own bespoke menu for a pre party and then for the wedding day itself. The food itself was the best food I've ever had at a wedding, and our guests said the same. You could really tell that they care about the quality of the ingredients and took on our feedback from the tasting session to create the most delicious spread which had our guests talking about long after the wedding. The staff were amazing, so responsive and helpful - executing the day to perfection

Absolutely fantastic and friendly service from the initial contact, through the pandemic with rescheduling all over the place, and finally at the Wedding itself. Amazing service, food, communication, attitude, and extremely accommodating, even at the last minute on the day. Would use this company a million times over!

As a wedding manager of a venue in Newbury I had the pleasure of working with Fingers and Forks at our venue over the weekend. My couple had independently chosen them as their wedding catering company. I was impressed with them from start to finish. The professionalism of their communication with me and their on the day logistics. Their team were all very friendly and the chefs did a fabulous job of the food. They left our kitchen area spotless. A bonus for me! All the guests were delighted with the food as were the happy couple. I look forward to working with them again in the future.
