What our customers say about us
“We booked Sussex Caterers for our wedding, and Richard and his team were a dream! We had just over a hundred guests, and they did everything from serving champagne and delicious canapés at the reception to a three-course wedding breakfast. We were able to offer guests three options for starter, main and dessert, all the way through to a hog roast in the evening and late-night bar service. They were a joy to work with, and nothing was too much trouble. Excellent service and food- we would highly recommend them to anyone else thinking of booking them! From the planning all the way through to on the day execution- five stars! Thank you, Richard and team!“
“Absolutely blown away by Richard & his performance along with his amazing team. My husband and I were looking at various catering companies prior to finding Richard. His professionalism and experience from our very first phone call were just brilliant. We had a bespoke 3-course menu for our wedding breakfast along with canapés and evening big pan paella, and it was all absolutely delicious,I could not fault a thing. His team are so so friendly and professional, and most of all they all have wonderful smiles to create that warm feel.
We are so grateful for all your hard work and dedication on and leading up to the day.“
“An absolute pleasure dealing with Richard & his team. They catered our wedding celebration in August and they were brilliant. Richard created a bespoke menu for us, and it was everything we’d hoped for and more. His team are simply amazing, they worked extremely hard to make sure everything was perfect. The food was delicious and presented beautifully. Canapés were a big hit, and there were plenty to go around. All our guests & family were very impressed.
Keep doing what you do. Highly recommended & forever grateful.“
