Both quality and quantity were superb

Thank you both for the key part you played in our happy day on Saturday. The food was spectacular, unanimously so, and guests stayed sated well into Sunday. Both quality and quantity were superb. As somebody who loves organisation, your contact and checklists prior to the day helped to focus our minds and ensure everyone had complete catering clarity! We loved your approach and are so grateful guests left with full hearts and full stomachs.

The food was absolutely delicious!

Karen, Richard and their team were fab throughout the whole process! Most importantly the food was absolutely delicious! There was lots of it and it wasn't fussy and pretentious but my goodness it looked and tasted amazing! Karen and Richard were also so helpful in the run up to the wedding as well though - helping us sort out timings on the day and troubleshoot any things we might not have thought about their experience was invaluable. Thank you!

Food and delivery were wonderful

As I said to you when we met I was most reassured by your positive approach and the careful organisation in the planning stage clearly paid off. As to the food itself all the guests thoroughly enjoyed all of it. The food itself was delicious and fresh and the sharing boards for starter and main course were such fun. To sit down to what felt like a family feast was exactly right!! The burrata were a particular success but all aspects of the food and delivery were wonderful. Liam was a delight as you said. He was calm, pleasant and professional throughout and a pleasure to work with too. Equally the chefs and serving staff were all great. We would be delighted to recommend you to anyone for future weddings.

The food was superb

Jim and I would like to say a huge thank you to both you and Karen, the food was superb and it all ran like clockwork. The comments we’ve had from family and friends regarding the food have been lovely and everyone seemed to love it. We couldn’t have had a more perfect day and are both still on cloud 9.

We had so many compliments

The wedding all went to plan and we absolutely loved the catering and the efforts you and the team put in. The food was incredible (we had so many compliments) and the service was equally brilliant. It is no problem giving our details to prospective clients and we would have nothing but praise for you. Equally, we would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone friends or family in the future.

You guys absolutely smashed it!!

The BIGGEST THANK YOU to you and your team for all the support and suggestions leading up to and on the day of our special day. You guys absolutely smashed it!!!! - so many of our guests commented on how wonderful the food was... and different too! Liam was so relaxed and helpful - he had everything under control with such a genuine happy smile, I could literally ask him for anything!! I am so grateful for all your support in the lead up - the checklist covered more than everything which gave me such confidence in handing it over to you guys.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kemp & Kemp

From start to finish Kemp & Kemp, made the whole process ever so easy. Karen and Richard are incredibly organised and gave us lots of guidance for helping the day run smoothly, not just from a catering perspective! The food we had on the day was absolutely perfect and we've had so many of our guests comment on the quality of the food. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kemp & Kemp as wedding caterers.

Our guests were blown away with the food

Kemp and kemps balanced professional and personal perfectly. We knew from the moment we made contact that they would provide amazing food and exceptional service - they did just that! Their organisation and planning was second to none and was immensely helpful when planning a DIY wedding. Throughout the process and from the moment our drinks reception started they ensured our wedding ran smoothly. The menu Karen designed was perfectly suited to the style of our wedding, we were almost spoilt for choice! The tasting session was invaluable in helping us shortlist - all the food was delicious and Karen was really helpful! Our guests were blown away with the food, it was of exceptional quality without any pretentiousness! We’ve had loads of compliments, particularly on the three cheese tarts and the make your own pudding, which definitely featured heavily on Instagram! We couldn’t recommend Karen, Richard and their team highly enough.

Unanimously the best food served at any wedding

The food was amazing, the beef outstanding. All the comments were positive and unanimously the best food served at any wedding they had been to. Here was a wedding where the food was centre of attention. All the dishes worked well and there were lots of photos taken. The atmosphere created by the sharing and the carving was just as we had hoped. Your staff were brilliant, friendly, willing, efficient and well organised. We had THE most fantastic of days.. Once again our thanks, you delivered everything we hoped for.
