Oli, Matt and their wonderful team catered a recent event for us. They made the whole process super easy and took any stress out of the planning! They are incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, passionate and go above and beyond in every way. Their team are absolutely fabulous; polite, friendly, efficient and well-presented. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Foray Catering to anyone - whether it's an at home dining experience, wedding or corporate event - they will exceed your expectations in every way. Thank you so much!

We chose Foray Catering for our wedding in Cartmel because of their food ethos of keeping it local and using local farms and suppliers. Their menus are innovative and offer something a bit different to others we looked at. The service we received was exceptional, their attention to detail and quality of ingredients was second to none. Matt and Stephen offered ideas and suggestions at our tasting evening, creating a perfectly balanced and delicious menu for us and our guests. On the day itself everything was perfect, from the planning and organisation to the superb food, their team are a delight and nothing was too much trouble. Many of our guests commented that this was the "best food they've had at a wedding". The owners and staff at our venue enjoyed working with the Foray team - they are a joy to work with and true professionals. If you are looking for a wedding caterer I can wholeheartedly recommend Foray, they are excellent.

Exceptional food by Oli Martin for our wedding breakfast. The whole Foray team helped make our day special, how often can you say that nothing whatever could be faulted? All our guests raved about the food. We would highly recommend Foray, whether for a wedding or any other private dining event - we will certainly use them again for entertaining at home.

Foray catered our wedding and were so organized and great at communicating in the run up - and then provided a delicious meal that our guests are still talking about!

Where to begin. We were fans of Oli and Matt’s food years ago when they were both chefs at Hipping Hall. When we got engaged, we knew we wanted them to cook for us at our wedding, and it was like fate that Foray Catering was created around that time. From the very first enquiry, Violaine was helpful, informative, responsive and helped us every step of the way with our booking. Nothing was too much to ask and Violaine would advise us when we needed help on some decisions. As we started to approach the wedding day, we were introduced to Stephen the event manager - Stephen went out of his way at every step to ensure everything went to plan and that Nick and I were happy, he too was so easy to work with, warm and professional. At the wedding tasting we met the chefs, Oli and Matt - these guys are passionate about what they do and they have taken event and wedding catering to another level. Oli and Matt are not your average wedding caterers, they are fine dining chefs and they deliver locally sourced exquisite food. Our guests were, quite frankly gobsmacked at the level of professionalism delivered by team Foray, the canapés, wedding breakfast and evening food ran like clockwork - every single member of staff was helpful and professional. Everyone has since told us again and again how much they enjoyed the food. The little touches like Foray bringing a plate of canapés just to Nick and I so we made sure we enjoyed them, really made a difference. Oli, Matt, Violaine, Stephen and the rest of team Foray - we cannot thank you enough. We so look forward to seeing you guys grow further over the coming years. Do not hesitate to book Foray as your wedding or event caterer, the level of food and service from day one far exceeds 5 stars (if only there were more to give you guys!!) Thank you again for everything.

Hi Foray gang. You asked for feedback and we’re happy to give it. Why did we chose you? We have experienced Oli’s cooking at Hipping Hall on two previous occasions and we were very impressed In addition another friend from Catforth had also recommended your catering company to us Expectations First of all we want you to know we had a fabulous evening and found all your staff delightful. Just a few comments from the Host, Alan, and some of the guests including ourselves as follows :- Alan was frustrated that the water glasses were not replenished on a regular basis throughout the meal and actually had to get up himself to do it. One of the courses (Chicken broth with large mushroom which was difficult to handle) didn’t go down well with most of the guests. All other courses were excellent My wife and I were disappointed that no coffee after the meal was arranged although accepted this was not contracted. I think in future it might be a good idea to clarify coffee needs. I and several other guests and the host ended up making it! Small things I know but could be easily remedied. For example you provided a wine waiter at an agreed additional cost- I’m sure the provision of a member of staff to stay until the end of the evening could also be offered by yourselves Again we want to reiterate we loved the evening and will gladly recommend you. --

Foray were absolutely amazing. I hired them for a surprise 40th Birthday Party for my husband. We had a 3 course meal, with canapés for 20 people. They came to the venue, a hired Castle in Northumberland, catered for us making the night very special. I was nervous about trying to organise a meal for so many people with various dietary requirements. They took away this hassle and helped me with my planning and choices. My husband is very particular about food and I wanted something very special that he wouldn’t walk away commenting. “ I could have cooked better”. Matt and his team didn’t just deliver exceptional food, they were easy to deal with, very accommodating and down to earth. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and they made the night extremely special.

These people are absolutely fantastic. Incredible food, warm and personal service and a pleasure to have around on our wedding day. The team all went above and beyond what we expected on the day, the perfect compliment to an incredibly special day. All who came are still talking about what a good time we had and how amazing the food was (On that note sorry it's taken me so long to post this!) Matt, Oli and team, thanks once again for such perfect and amazing hospitality!
