Mr & Mrs Saunders Wedding

We booked simon and his team for our wedding on 02/11/24. The food was extraordinary! Thank you so much to Simon and his team for providing our wedding with the most delicious food! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their canapés, wedding breakfast and deserts. Food was 10/10!

Fantastic!

We’d definitely recommend Simon Pollendine to cater for your wedding. He was super flexible and catered for all types of allergies and diets, including gluten free, dairy free etc and even for a fussy eater who only eats chicken nuggets and chips!!!

He came to our house prior to our wedding for a preview of the menu for our big day and that was also perfect, he even washed up afterwards!

The food on our actual Wedding day was incredible and our guests commented on how amazing it all was.

We wouldn’t hesitate to use Simon again for any future special occasions.

Brilliant caterer

We choose Simon to do our wedding catering not only for his food but for his enthusiasm and “can do” attitude (other caterers had given us a number of reasons why our theme wouldn’t work). He welcomed, embraced and worked with our unusual request and he also managed to create canapés that were in keeping with our theme. The food tasting was utterly exceptional and the food on the day was exactly as promised, our guests loved the food as much as we did

Delicious, faultless food!

Simon was fantastic! He was informative on food and discussed food options based on our likes. He said he would create a meal that was completely personalised to us and spoke at length about the different options. Leading up to the wedding he was informative on service and timings and ensured we had everything ready for our wedding day. We met him the day before at the venue which was a great touch. We enjoyed the food and the guests were very complementary of the meal. Simon was fantastic and nothing was too much trouble.

Seamless, beautiful food.

We chose Simon from a list of recommended suppliers from our venue.
Simon discussed our options with us, and we settled on afternoon tea and a hog roast for the evening, along with canapes.
Prior to our wedding, we went to a friend's wedding who also used Simon as the supplier and were so impressed with the food that we knew we wouldn't need to worry.
The day prior to the wedding, Simon's team were at the venue to lay the tables with the necessary table cloths and crockery nice and early, leaving us plenty of time to set centre pieces, etc.
Simon and his team seamlessly delivered all of the food that we had asked for on the day (and absolutely plenty of it!) It was delicious and the afternoon tea was beautifully presented. The waiting staff even ensured that the children's table were safe, rather than leaving tea pots on the table they served the drinks to the children whenever they asked for them. In the evening it was great that some hog roast rolls had been left out as I realised I hadn't eaten much all day and was suddenly hungry. We would definitely recommend Simon.

Nothing short of excellent

From the start, Simon was incredibly helpful and communicative. We created a 2 course menu for our wedding, tailor made to our taste. He then cooked the meal for us at our house (and washed up afterwards!) and sat with us to make any changes. On the wedding day, the food was just as incredible as we remembered. We had many comments from our guests saying how delicious the canapés and the main meal was. Simon is such a friendly and passionate chef - would highly recommend to anyone who has an upcoming event!

Professional

Having worked with Simon previously it made perfect sense to add him to our preferred catering list at Thetford Farm Barn.
Consistent, professional and experienced. Simon never fails to deliver working closely with his clients to achieve everything they desire.

Best Wedding Reception

Simon Pollendine and team catered for our magical wedding at Normanton Park Gardens and the canapés, bbq and trio of desserts were exceptional. Simon and his team are so professional and the service we received was outstanding and timely. We highly recommend this brilliant catering service for any special occasions.

Wedding review

Simon was a fantastic caterer for our wedding, he offered a personal tasting session at our house, which was amazing, we couldn’t believe how incredible the food was. He was really flexible and made us exactly what we wanted. Then on the day, everything ran so smoothly, the food was as amazing as it was at the tasting, all of the guests complimented how nice it was! Couldn’t recommend Simon enough!

Very personalised service, excellent food and good delivery

Simon was great from start to finish. He initially came to our home to cook us the menu to ensure we were happy on the day.

The food was fantastic and he catered for our dietary requirements with no complications.

His communication was very good and he put us at ease. You can trust Simon to deliver at any event.

Highly recommend

Simon and his team are amazing! Our wedding breakfast and buffet was delicious and was beautifully presented.
We had so many compliments from the wedding guests who thoroughly enjoyed every part of both the breakfast and buffet. Simon provides quality ingredients and generous portion sizes.
You also have the added bonus of trailing your chosen menu before the big day.

Fantastic!

Simon and the team were fantastic from start to finish. From the very first enquiry we made to Simon he was so kind and attentive. The meal he cooked for us at home was also amazing.
The guys on the day were very kind, nothing was too much and the food was obviously to die for!

Personalised catering, who care about you!

Simon Pollendine is a pleasure to work with. He really cares about you as a client and wants to make sure you have the best food to suit your needs. He provides a personalised service and is always on hand to answer questions. I loved that as part of the service he came over to our house and cooked some options for us to help us decide. He is a genuinely lovely person and his food is high quality. Our guests loved the food on the day as well. The evening food was also incredible. The Cheese and meats was beautifully displayed. I would highly recommend!

Delicious food, friendly chef!

Simon was so easy to work with and accommodating to what we wanted for our day. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was absolutely delicious. All the guests were full and happy and commented on how brilliant it was. We are so glad we didn't have the traditional wedding food and that we had Simon cater for our wedding.

Excellent Service made our wedding a perfect day

Simon Pollendine Private Chef is an exceptional outfit. We hired Simon for our daughter’s wedding recently and couldn’t have been happier with the service provided. Prior to the wedding Simon was very easy to work with as we discussed our requirements and made us feel very relaxed during the booking process. The options were endless and Simon was very flexible to combine ideas and produce a unique offering to suit our needs. On the day, all tastes were provided for including vegetarian and vegan guests with minimal fuss. There were 64 guests for the wedding breakfast and Simon and his team served a selection of delicious canapés along with our own sourced prosecco which was not a problem. The main course was a choice of perfectly cooked hot roast meats and a selection of exotic mixed salads. Everyone commented on the exceptional quality and quantity of the food, no one was left disappointed. Nothing was too much trouble and Simon and staff were super friendly, efficient and professional. Simon went above and beyond what was expected and all guests commented on the amazing food and service. Simon and team arrived early morning and took over the kitchen. From then on we were in safe hands and didn’t need to think about anything else as all ran super smoothly and transparent. I would not hesitate to recommend Simon for any function, he and his team are a great outfit and certainly contributed to a very successful wedding day
