Seamless, delicious and totally professional

Dawn, Gareth, Angie, and the rest of the Saffron team did an amazing job catering my wedding. All the guests were well fed, the canapes came piping hot and were a hit, the wedding breakfast was fabulous and I even had a guest tell me they tried to recreate their main course! The evening food was also fantastic and went down a treat, and generally the service was so smooth and made the day a real success! I had a few specific service requests which they were easily able to accommodate, and they were great with all the guest dietary requirements and allergies.

Could not recommend more!

Saffron were excellent - we went for sharing platters and all our guests said how delicious the food was. Angie on the day (and in the run up) was excellent at keeping everything moving. 10/10 would recommend!

Wedding Magic

Gareth and the team were so lovely to be around and we felt so comfortable when we did our tasting. Gareth listened to our requests and nothing was too much trouble. The only major problem was choosing what to go for as everything we tried was amazing!
The food was so good all I could think about was what other event than our wedding could we use Saffron for if we had to eliminate some dishes!
So friendly and professional highly recommended.

Absolutely fantastic!

We chose Saffron Caterers for our wedding and from the moment of the initial inquiry, Dawn and Gareth were exceptional to work with. They were open to all our ideas and helped create a stunning Korean/Cypriot fusion menu which the guests all loved. A special thanks to Carla and the rest of the Saffron team for making the day run smoothly and feel special. The drinks and food service were truly excellent and would highly recommend.

Best team ever for our big day ❤️

I can't recommend Saffron Caterers highly enough! Dawn, Gareth, and the entire Saffron Team went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect. From the very start, they worked with us to create a delicious menu that fit perfectly within our budget. Nothing was ever too much trouble for them – they handled every request and change with ease, even when we added a last-minute dessert course and had to adjust guest numbers and the order of the day. The food was incredible, beautifully presented, and thoroughly enjoyed by all our guests. Saffron Caterers made our special day unforgettable, and we’re so grateful for their professionalism, flexibility, and personal touch. Highly recommended!

5 stars across the board!

We hired Saffron as the caterers for our wedding in August and they were exceptional! From the tasting last year (when Gareth spoilt us with a wide range of delicious canapés, starters, mains & desserts) to Dawn’s speedy & helpful communication (about everything from napkin colours to wine pairing) right up to Carla’s seamless service on the day (involving a special birthday dessert for my Dad) we could not recommend them more highly! 5 stars across the board!

Fantastic!

We just wanted to say a huge thank you for making our day possible. You guys were absolutely amazing from the start. To promptly contacting us, listening to our needs and coming up with a workable, affordable and cracking menu with a personal touch. Topped off with high quality superb cooking and an efficient, smooth tidy up. With delightful staff, a professional and friendly service and quick responses the main part of our day was really taken care of. We loved our tasting too and that put us in no doubt that we were going to have a smashing wedding dinner. Thank you so much!

Amazing food, amazing team

We had the pleasure of having Saffron Catering 'host' our wedding breakfast in August, and what an amazing job! From the very beginning with a tasting evening and plate adaptations, to prepping our rustic farm venue, to delivering knock-out courses in the middle of a field - the whole team were professional and fun. The food was outstanding and really made our day. We have had so many of our friends and family comment on the food, they really delivered for all dietary requirements and surpassed our (high) expectations. So lovely to work with. Thank you to Kelly and the whole team, I could not recommend them more.

Couldn't ask for better caterers!

Saffron Caterers were fantastic caterers to work with, and made our big day very special! We loved the tailor-made menu - and the chef was great at coming up with delicious, original vegetarian ideas that perfectly suited our tastes even when we weren't quite sure what we wanted! All our guests commented on how lovely the food was.

They helped and guided us throughout the process, and were brilliant on the day in making sure everything ran smoothly, and we didn't have to worry about anything. Huge thanks to Kelly, Tara and Gareth!

Amazing caterers and events planning

Rebecca and I got married in July 2018 at Capel Manor College. Kelly of Saffron took us to Capel as one of her suggested venues that suited what we were looking for. Kelly expertly guided us through the wedding planning journey and gave us the best day of our lives. She organised quotes for the venue, marquees and tipis and also various options on the food. We made our decisions, tipis and BBQ food and we booked our big day. We had a taster session and Saffron’s off-site kitchens which was superb. On the day Kelly had a great team with her to set everything up and the day went like clockwork with Kelly calmly sorting everything and not needing to trouble us with anything at all. The whole way through the process she was very flexible and supportive and we couldn’t have done it without her! We could not recommend Saffron highly enough, your big event will be in expert safe hands!! Pete & Becs

Absolutely wonderful caterers!

Thank you to Kelly, Gareth, Jason and all the lovely team at Saffron for helping to make our son's wedding such a fantastic event.

Kelly, thank you also for all your patience, advice, and encouragement while we were planning the wedding. The food was utterly delicious and beautifully presented, everything was so well organised, the staff were brilliant, and we felt completely relaxed knowing everything was in your care - and you looked gorgeous!

We would be more than delighted to recommend Saffron!

The food was delicious

Thank you so much for everything on Saturday!
I know its your job but you worked so hard to make the evening go smoothly.
The food was delicious (I hope I can find an address to thank Gareth personally) and your staff were very helpful and pleasant.
We will always be very confident in recommending Saffron Catering to others.
Have a good (and hopefully restful!) Christmas.

We can't thank you enough

What can I say. You are an absolute star!

You worked so hard to make Rachel and Liam's wedding day such a wonderful occasion and we truly appreciate everything you did. You were so friendly, supportive and reassuring in the lead up to the wedding and, on the day itself, your tireless work made it an occasion that we will all remember with nothing but joy and happiness. You worked so hard with Danielle to make sure that we had nothing to worry about on the day, and to make everything perfect, and I can't thank you enough for your help, advice, professionalism, and tireless work.
When we first met Kelly and Gareth for the food tasting, we knew immediately that Saffron would be the right choice for Rachel and Liam's wedding; the food was amazing and we knew that the Saffron team would do a great job. Your management of the event and the catering arrangements fulfilled our expectations and more. I have been involved with a fair bit of event organisation in my professional life, and I can honestly say that I have never come across anyone who has put so much into an event as you did on Saturday. We are all so grateful to you.

Please also pass on our thanks to the rest of the Saffron team, they were outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble and they dealt with the constant stream of requests from me, and from our guests, with such patience and good humour.

We will be writing to Kelly separately about the food, which was exceptional, but I wanted to thank you personally for everything. You were wonderful and we can't thank you enough!
