    We used Lovejoy Catering for our wedding at Hedingham Castle. All the food was absolutely delicious and we had so many comments from our guests saying how amazing their meal was. The beef brisket in particular was cooked to perfection and went down very well with everyone. The only problem was, we were so full from the wedding breakfast, we couldn't fully appreciate the evening food! Lovejoy were also brilliant at making sure all dietary requirements were catered to. Yum yum yum, we want to eat it all over again!

    Lovejoy catered for our wedding back in September and we cannot thank them enough, the food was just incredible. We had so many compliments from our guests. We went for a bbq style Buffett for our breakfast, not only was it delicious, it was also presented so beautifully. Our evening food was pizza and chips & it went down so well! The staff were so amazing from start to finish. We will always highly recommend lovejoy catering! Paige & Matt

    Lovejoy catered for our wedding day and it was absolutely incredible. We have had so many comments on the food from all our guests and how delicious it was. Great value for money and I would highly recommend. Joey was there the day before when we were setting up and the day of the wedding. Very hands on and super helpful. 👌

    Joey & his team catered for our Wedding at Houchins in June 2022 & did a fantastic job! I have an autoimmune condition, with lots of food sensitivities, and also allergies to fragrances. This was all smoothly dealt with & as the bride it was no problem at all to offer me a separate menu. They also ensured the staff on the day weren’t wearing fragrances, which was a HUGE help. Everyone commented on how lovely the food was, especially the lamb rump! We have since eaten at Joey’s restaurant ‘The George’ twice & had two delicious meals, which we honestly couldn’t fault. Joey’s attention to detail is impressive. Well done to the whole team! And Thank you! Love & Best Wishes, Claire & James Brown xx

    Lovejoy Catering catered our wedding and from start to finish they were amazing. I didnt have to worry about any of the food on the day and there was plenty to go round. The food was also amazing and so tasty. They also run the bar which was a brilliant addition. Will be using them again for our next event.. 5 star service

    Joey and his team did the catering for my daughter's wedding a couple of weeks ago and it was excellent. The food was delicious and many guests commented on how good it was, especially as they were catering for 100+ people. The servers and bar staff worked really hard over a long day and were pleasant and friendly throughout , service was prompt and professional. Joey has also 'stayed with us' through two cancellations of the wedding date because of the pandemic, and offered support and advice throughout. Lovejoy's made a big contribution to the happiness of the day and I would recommend them to anyone.

    We used Lovejoy Catering as the supplier for our wedding, and we were not disappointed. Every element of the food was delicious, the staff were fantastic and we had so many compliments from our guests about the catering. The help and communication from Joey, Charlotte and the team in the build up to the day was brilliant, and they were always on hand with advice and ideas around the food choices. We cannot thank them enough for helping to make our wedding day perfect!

    Lovejoy Catering were absolutely amazing. I recently got married and lovejoy were our caterers for the evening. The food was brilliant, so tasty, well presented and warm! Odd thing to say but it's not easy to get 80 plates out at the same time and them all be piping hot on arrival- very impressed. The team were great not only on the day but also with thier flexibility. The pandemic was definitely a challenge for all but they surpassed our expectations at every turn and we're so supportive. I would highly recommend thier services and quite happily pay above any beyond thier prices. Not an empty plate in the house and a great response to all of my guests dietary requirements. Thank you to everyone in the lovejoy team! Already looking forward to popping into the George to revisit their great tastes. 👍

    After sampling their food and meeting Joey and the team a couple years ago, we knew straight away we would be booking them to caterer for our wedding. The team were very helpful and responsive throughout the process all the way up to the big day. On the day itself, Catherine and the team put on an absolute flawless service. Very professional and everything looked perfect. Everyone loved the food and commented on how tasty everything was..from the canapes and 3 course dinner, right through to the evening bbq buffet. They went above and beyond what we asked for and I couldn't recommend this company enough. Thank you Joey and Lovejoy team for making our day the best it could be.
