    Magpie Catering was used for my wedding day. Lizzy ensured everything was covered and everyone was catered for with their individual needs. The taster session before the wedding was beautiful and special and the waiting staff was professional and hard working. It made our wedding so special and both day and evening guests commented on how nice the food was.

    Magpie catering have been the cherry on the top of our special day! Found them online and have been talking with Lizzy who has been brilliant! The food is dribble worthy and from the tasting to the special day, we were dreaming on the incredible taste of the food! The team on our special day were incredible and nothing was ever a problem, I do feel sorry for poor James who kept hitting his head on the beams in the venue! 5* for Magpie catering and for any future events, will be using them! Thank you for everything Lizzy & team!

    Lizzy, thank you so much for our amazing food on our wedding day! We have received so many compliments on how delicious everything was. Lizzy was so easy and accommodating to work with and we are so grateful we picked her to cater our wedding day! The little touches were so appreciated too...such as the secret stash of canapes kept aside for us after we finished taking photos outside, and the chunks of cake left for us in the kitchen as we didn't actually get to eat any on the wedding day! We would highly recommend anyone to choose Lizzy and her team to cater their event or wedding day. Thanks again, M&S

    Lizzy and her team were great with helping us build an incredible menu for our wedding and were so accommodating for dietary requirement changes and fussy guests! On the day, the team delivered each course cooked to perfection and served on time to the order of the day. Some of the guests worked in the event industry and were really impressed on the quality and timing of the food. The evening food was splendid and the team circulated around the guests flawlessly, even making sure the worse for wear groom was given plenty of food to sort himself out haha If you need a caterer for any occasion, please contact Lizzy and the team at Magpie Catering, your guests will thank you.

    Hi Lizzie and all the team at Magpie Catering A week has gone by since our wedding on 20th July at That Amazing Place and I just wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks for helping us create the most perfect day. Its been over 2 years since we first met at the TAP open day in May 2019, and as soon as we met you – we just knew that we wanted you and your team to cater for us on our special day. We instantly bonded with you personally and feel in love with everything that you Magpie stands for, we knew we were in the very best hands, with the very best food! Throughout the uncertainty of 2020 and 2021 you have been a source of positivity and strength for us both, and we are eternally grateful for the kindness that we received from everyone at Magpie. Our food tasting was the first meal we had out, when lockdown was eased in Summer 2020, and it blew us away. The attention to detail, flavour combinations, personalisation, and passion that you put into your food is out of this world. We felt like we were at a 5* restaurant, being cooked for by a close friend – it was the perfect combination. Roll round to 20th July and every single guest has commented on how beautiful and delicious all the food was – restaurant quality as always, it didn’t feel like a traditional wedding breakfast at all – everyone was in awe. Every single canapé, starter, main, desert and all the evening food had the same attention to detail, presentation, and flavour, you yet again exceed all our expectations. You accommodated allergies, fussy easter’s, children and dietary requirements and we couldn’t be more grateful. You have an amazing team– professional, attentive, and kind and it was a pleasure for them to look after our closest family and friends on the day. Thankyou isn’t enough to express how truly appreciative we are of everything you did for us. I know this won’t be the last time we cross paths, and I am already planning the next event where we can work together – afternoon tea, private dining, party, the list is endless. All the best Sophie & George Smith X

    I have worked with Lizzie and her team a a few times at weddings and they have always been nothing but professional, courteous and produce great food. However, this time my partner hired them for private dining for my own birthday. The food was absolutely sensational, and everything looked so perfect. Our meals were presented so beautifully, you can see the attention to detail and the pride taken in the delivery. Not only was the food amazing, it was so lovely to have spent a little time with Lizzie and getting to the person behind the business, as when we are at weddings, we are normally tearing busy! Thank you for making my birthday surprise truly memorable for so many reasons. I highly recommend Lizzie and Magpie for any occasion.
