What our clients say
"
I cannot recommend Merry Events Catering enough! What a fantastic experience from start to finish. We hired Merry Events Catering for a small party where we wanted canapés to celebrate in style. A range of options were communicated in advance and Grant and Kirsty helped us make some bespoke selections to suit the tastes and dietary requirements of our guests. The dishes themselves were all absolutely delicious, combining style and indulgence with affordability. The mushroom arancini, short rib sliders and oysters in champagne sauce particularly went down well. Unbelievably good! Chef Grant even provided some suitable dishes for our 2-year-old to try. Grant and Kirsty were a real addition to the party atmosphere, friendly, warm and highly professional. They presented the dishes with real pride and enthusiasm, brought all their own equipment, took away the rubbish and left the kitchen spotless. We would 100% use Merry Events Catering again.

We reached out to Merry Catering to enquire about providing a family Easter Sunday dinner for 8 people, and they absolutely exceeded our expectations. From the menu planning, and the costing structure to the finer details we requested for the day, nothing was too much trouble. As a self-acclaimed fussy vegetarian, I know it can sometimes be challenging to create a separate menu — but they did, and it was fantastic. The food was beautiful and cooked to perfection. The presentation was sublime. They truly thought of everything. Thank you Merry Catering — it was indeed a very Merry Easter banquet.
