Jude and his team at Fingers and Forks delivered an exceptional dinner party for my birthday celebration. Everything was perfect, from the arrival reception and canaps to the four course dinner for 40 people. Food was fantastic and service exemplary. I couldnt recommend them enough to you to cater for your special occasion.

Absolutely bloody brilliant from start to finish. Nothing was to much trouble for our wedding. Last minute changes, sound advice and genuine care regarding every last detail. Charlotte worked her socks in the build up and on the actual day. The professionalism shown by Debbie and her team, particularly through uncertain times last year. They gave us comfort throughout and we couldn't have asked for a better catering company managing our wedding. Class from start to finish.. James and Rachel xx

What can we say! Thank you so much to Jude and his team for everything. Honestly he was incredible from start to finish. Not only did he ensure we had the most amazing food and catering at our wedding but Jude was also our guru, wedding planner and counsellor he helped us remain calm even when things felt difficult and overwhelming, Jude helped solve any issues we came across and I can honestly say our wedding would have not happened without him. Jude helped us create the most perfect and spectacular day even if it was no where near what we started planning years ago! Thank you so much for

We used Fingers & Forks for our wedding in July and after all the stress of the pandemic with our wedding date being moved, Hannah and the team were absolutely fantastic and reassured us they would make our day special with their superb menu and they certainly did that. Hannah was incredible in the lead up to our wedding day with excellent communication and advice and that didn't change on the day itself. Hannah and her team served our wedding breakfast very professionally and the food was exquisite, we absolutely loved how it was displayed and the attention to detail was 5*. All our guests loved
