What can I say about Browns Kitchen? They are ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! Lee and his very lovely team catered for our wedding on 27 August and the food, service, bar and professionalism were amazing. We cannot fault them from the first moment we made contact. We had so many comments about how tasty and well presented our canapes and wedding breakfast was and it was a pleasure to deal with them from start to finish. Lee has a fabulous team and we wouldn't hesitate to hire them again! Thank you so much Browns Kitchen .... you helped make our special day go smoothly and we can't thank you enough! You were

Browns Kitchen provided the afternoon tea and drinks service for our wedding on Thursday 5th August 2021. The quality of the food was second to none and it didn't stop, there was plenty to go around! The waiting staff were super attentive and very helpful. Glasses never went below half full and any questions were quickly answered. The Drinkery went down very well and there was never a queue at the bar. We thoroughly enjoyed our day and had many happy faces saying how good the evenings Paella was, can thoroughly recommend!

We couldn't have been happier with our decision to choose Lee to cater our wedding at Gildings Barns. Other than the food being absolutely incredible, Lee listened to our vision for the day and then made it happen. Communication was always great, and along with his excellent team they made sure the day ran smoothly which allowed us to really relax and enjoy our big day. Thank you again to Lee and all his staff!

We couldn't have been happier with our decision for Lee and the team to cater our wedding at Gildings Barns last weekend. After postponing our wedding twice due to covid, we are so thankful we finally got to taste the delicious lamb shoulder with all the trimmings! The food was incredible and could not be faulted. Browns have been so accommodating during this uncertainty and have helped us keep the stress low over the last year.
Lee and the team created a lovely flow for the day with seamless transitions between reception drinks, to canaps, to the main wedding breakfast and through to the evening

We had a wedding booked for 100 guests but was down to 15 due COVID but this did not stop Lee and his team to offer as much assistance as needed. On the day itself, the food and the service were fantastic and this is evident from the comments we received from our guests, specially the canops, which I highly recommend!
