Food that belongs at your wedding
Your wedding deserves more than a standard package. It deserves food that reflects how you want the day to feel, served by a team who understand that timing, warmth and attention matter just as much as what arrives on the plate.
From your first conversation to the final service, Simon works closely with you to create the right menu, format and flow for your venue, guests and celebration.

A real Catering by Simon wedding
A relaxed sharing feast at home
Harriet and Mark wanted their marquee wedding to feel generous, informal and full of personality. We created a family-style wedding breakfast centred around slow-cooked Texas barbecue brisket, with a guest at each table invited to carve and serve.
Sharing salads and vegetarian dishes completed the feast, followed later by hand-rolled pizzas and a grazing cheese table. Our team also looked after the arrival drinks, wedding toast and bar service, allowing the couple to enjoy the day without worrying about its running order.
