I found this company by doing a search and was very pleased I did. The venue we chose had no electric or water so was worried about keeping food warm. I ordered the jacket potato menu so a change from the normal sandwich buffet and it was amazing! The potatoes were still boiling home 5 hours later. All the food was delicious and I would definitely recommend this company. Thank you so much for doing our catering for our event last weekend!

Lynne was an absolute star from start to finish. Great communication from the moment they were selected. We catered a Christmas Meal for a team of 60 in 4 sittings due to the capacity of the room. Lynne came and set up very quickly. A self-sufficient team that needed very little help from us. All we did was give them a spot to set up and off they went. The food was to a very high quality and fresh for every sitting. A vegetarian option as well which was very tasty.

I don't usually leave reviews, however, Lynne and her team did a fantastic job for catering my recent birthday that I wanted to say thanks. The food was very tasty, went down a treat with the guests and was very reasonably priced. Lynne undertook a lot of the coordination with the venue directly which saved me a job and kept me up to date, which allowed me to enjoy the event more! Many thanks Lynne and Midlands Catering Company!
