I cannot recommend these guys enough. Mark was super friendly and easy to chat to on our first zoom call. As an expert in this field, he made suggestions for is to consider that would make our lives easier and ensure we could have the best time. We took it all on board and he was so right! He was so responsive on email about anything we asked. Nothing was too much trouble.
The team on the day, headed by Chris were superb. They delivered all the food on time and even cut our cake for us. They had thoughts on where abouts to set up their kit on the day. It was even better than where we thought originally. They really know their stuff.
The food, let's be fair, the most important part, was simply sensational. Everyone was raving about the food. One of our guests enquired about travelling to them for his 40th birthday next year. He is deadly serious about that as well!
We had approximately 135 guests that day and they put on a lunch with big Pan's and sides, cut the cake a little time after and then put on a BBQ in the evening. All with ease, or at least it seemed like it to us.
They not only helped with food but we wanted a fridge trailer for drinks after seeing this another party. Man With A Pan were able to supply this also. That took something off our minds.
All this was done at a very reasonable price indeed! We had quotes that were far more. But those companies did far less, I.e were unable to supply the fridge trailer or did not have staff to clear up and hand out drinks. The staff made so much difference!
I could go on for ages about how epic they were. Thankyou so so much.

Mark and his team catered our wedding back in August and wow o wow he was amazing!! We are still getting compliments on how delicious the food was months later. We had a sit-down meal for 140 with a combination of delicious canapes, sharing starters, plated mains and sharing sides which worked amazingly to have that communal 'dinner table' vibe but presented beautifully. His team served amazingly keeping up with the canapes, tables and serving our bar and evening food super smoothly.

Mark really is a yes man and it really did feel like he could make our vision happen. It was such a pleasure to work with him. He's creative and confident with flavours and took the time to make it look amazing on the plate too. Many of our guests said it's the best food they've ever had at a wedding.

We are foodie people (my mum used to be a chef) so the food was so important to us. Mark was available and flexible to accommodate all our thoughts and gave us brilliant advice, when creating our Lebanese-style menu, accommodating calls from me and my mum :)

He was instrumental in helping us have the perfect day, from serving our favourite foods from our travels including delicious Bahn Mi's for the evening food, managing our bar drinks service, cocktail hour and even adding flowers to the cake my mum made. He was an utter star and we can't thank him and his team enough.

Just wish we had more photos to show off how beautiful his food all looked!

We used Man with a Pan for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made. All the food was absolutely phenomenal, with guests praising it time after time, especially the garlic prawns! Mark was great at providing advice and wisdom in the run up from his experience of the job, and the staff were all fantastic on the day. All in all, I would definitely recommend them 🙂

Could not recommend Mark and his team enough. We had a wedding of 150 people and Mark and his team ran our reception drinks, canapes, main meal, evening food, cocktails and evening bar. The food was phenomenal and guests have been commenting on it since. Delicious and great portions.

Working with Mark in the build up to the wedding was really easy, the tasting session was great and nothing seemed too much for him and the team, super easy going while being really professional and made sure the day ran so smoothly. Would book again without a doubt.

We had a wonderful time and were thrilled with Man with a Pan's food and service. Following the wedding we had countless comments from our guests on the excellent quality of the food. The paella was both a great experience and tasted amazing! I only wished I had eaten more! The canapés were highly popular, extremely tasty, and the perfect size, and the late night quesadas were a massive hit.

Additionally, the whole team was extremely professional and helpful. I truly felt taken care of. I was blown away by the level of service they delivered. All around, 10/10.

Thank you so much Mark and the team. First class food that was commented on by many and all of the team were a delight to deal with . We will definitely be using you again :-)

We first experienced Man with a pan at a colleagues birthday, and enjoyed the food so much we contacted them about catering for our wedding. We could not have made a better choice!

The variety of options were excellent, something to cater all tastes. Having a few allergies within the family, we were so impressed with Mark's knowledge and pleasure to adapt dishes to suit ourselves and our guests. We have a few people with coeliac disease and Mark ensures everything was able to be made gluten free.

The feedback from all our guests was glowing. So many people went up for seconds, which was a great sign for us to see how much they enjoyed it. Everyone, including us, was so impressed at how efficient the service was. We've been to events with caterers in the last that take an age to serve a large crowd, but the team got through our 100 guests in next to no time. Everyone was able to eat together and enjoy their food piping hot.

We can't recommend man with a pan enough. They truly were one of the highlights of our wedding and every single one of our guests complemented us on the food. We will be using again in the future!

Mark and his team were absolutely brilliant. They made wedding party planning so easy. We wanted a relaxed meal for our wedding party and the paella dishes were perfect for this. The food was really great delicious and the set and clear up was seamless. Mark made sure we didn't have to worry about anything. I would highly recommend Mark - Man with a Pan.

We cannot thank Mark and his catering team enough for the amazing job they did on the day of the wedding.
Not only was the food absolutely delicious but the staff and wait staff were superb. So polite and attentive to us and all of our guests. We had so many compliments from the guests on the day and after.
Thanks again for being apart of our special day. Sam and James

Where do I start.. Mark and his team at Man with a Pan provided the best food for our wedding. They went above and beyond and nothing was too much trouble they all had great service and were really friendly. We had lovely canapés, chicken and chorizo paella with Mac and cheese for the evening everything was delicious. All of our guests said how lovely all the food was and everyone ended the night with full bellies and smiles on their faces!

Where to start really! Mark, his crew and the food were all fabulous. We had so many comments from guests on how much they enjoyed the food! Marks calm, flexible attitude to everything kept us relaxed in the planning stages. It felt nothing was too much. On the day his team were incredibly attentive and would pick up anything they could see needed doing, even fluffing my dress before I walked down the aisle for me! We couldn't have asked for better and are really pleased we went with Man with a Pan for our big day.

We chose Man with a Pan after I had been fortunate enough to taste their food at a work event some years previously. The service from quote to wedding day was absolutely incredible. Marc is really helpful at putting together a menu that is precisely what you want, at a budget to suit you, and on the day... everyone would not stop going on about how incredible the food was.
We chose to have Man with a Pan do our canapes, main wedding meal and our evening food - and everything was seamless. After the wedding, I had a crazy amount of people text me mentioning how incredible the food was.... they also said I looked lovely... but people mainly wanted to comment on the food! But I wholeheartedly agree with them - it was incredible, and I could not recommend Man with a Pan highly enough. Don't look anywhere else, just cross your fingers that they are free on your date!

Mark and his team were a pleasure to work with for our wedding. He is an amazing chef and coordinator (he thought of everything!) and the team were really efficient and friendly. The food and drinks were delicious and our guests were raving about it! We could not recommend more highly!

Mark and his team catered our wedding 2 weeks ago, and our guests have not stopped raving about the food! Having enjoyed Mark's food at other functions, and having had a menu tasting, we knew we were going to be well looked after. It did not disappoint! Our guests loved the choice of dishes, the generous portion sizes and how tasty it was. We have had lots of compliments about the canapes and desserts - there was a bum fight on some tables for the banoffee pie! Overall we were delighted with the service and professionalism of the Man with a Pan team. THANK YOU MARK!

Thank you again for being so amazing on our Wedding day. Your staff did an incredible job and the food was out of this world. Managing our drinks reception, food and bar in the evening.

Man with a Pan was excellent thank you for all your hard work. If you are having a marquee wedding or event and need caters I would highly recommend.

Can not thank you enough and we will be recommending it in the future. All the best John & Echo (7th September 2024) Wickham Hampshire.
