Delightful Dining Catering

Celia and the team at delightful dining done the catering and the bar at our wedding, firstly there staff were amazing not a dry glass in sight, very effeciant and always seemed to be there when you needed them. The canapés which we selected were outstanding and the main meal was to die for. They made the day run smoothly from start to finish with no complaints what so ever, the only complaint being the bar had to close at 11:30pm we would of partied all night if the venue would have let us. ! (the G&T's were enjoyed by all) Thank you all so very much for all you done you made our wedding amazing and we cant thank you enough. Regards Paris, George and Darcie Morris.

Celia and her team produced a flawless service and meal following a recent funeral. What was happening in the kitchen never once entered my head. I knew that she would take care of everything and she did. I know the food went down well as I was expecting a pile of sandwiches left for me to eat later, but No, all gone along with the quiche and the sausage rolls etc etc, I wasn’t keen to have it at home, but I think it was the perfect solution.

Celia and her team work their magic for our clients every Ascot. Can't wait to see what she conjures up this year. Yum!

From the start, Celia and the team were a pleasure to deal with: organised, communicative and obliging. Celia came up with the perfect menu for us and did a wonderful tasting evening. She always took the time to get every detail as we wanted it and was super organised in the run up to and on the Big Day itself. The whole thing ran like clockwork - thanks to Delightful Dining brilliant staff - and the food was DELICIOUS. We got a ton of compliments! Highly recommend this family run company for personal service, delicious food and great value for money.

Celia gave us confidence right from the start with her attention to detail and suggestions on what works and what doesn't. We had a fantastic day and the food and canapes for our our 220 guests went down really well. We are hoping we will get to try delightful dining food again at some of our friends weddings!

A last minute request was no trouble for Delightful Dining and they delivered a superb cold buffet along with two lovely staff. All my guests enjoyed the food. Unfortunately I over ordered so there was lots left over but it was easy to clear up enough for the collection of plates the next day. Next to no work for me and a stress free party that was enjoyed by all.

I initially booked Delightful Dining because I had been so impressed with the food and service at my Sister's wedding a couple of years previous which Celia had catered for. Second time around and again, did not disappoint! Celia went above and beyond, thought of every little detail so that I didn't have to and personalised her usual wedding menu so that we could enjoy our favourite dessert on our special day. Celia's food is utterly delicious and best of all you get great sized portions of it to enjoy! Top restaurant quality, despite cooking for a huge group in a catering tent conditions. The waiting and bar staff were all helpful, polite and professional too. I would highly recommend Delightful Dining to anyone looking for great food for their wedding or function. 5 star!

Celia and her team catered for my daughters wedding on October 11, 2014 at Shinfield Grange, Reading, Berks. The wedding reception for 142 guests was held in a marquee in the beautiful grounds. Working from the adjoining catering tent, Celia produced a fabulous three course meal that was served by her very efficient and courteous staff, who prior to the meal served a selection of wonderful canapes and drinks to the guests. The evening food which consisted of a wide selection of cheese, breads, biscuits and fruit, together with hot dogs and all the trimmings, went down a treat. As well as providing all the food Celia provided the evening bar which was managed by Alex, who with other members of the team, had set everything up in the marqueethe day before. I was delighted with every aspect of the service Celia provided; her advice, the attention to detail, the quality of the food and above all the friendly and efficient service all of her team provided from start to finish. The day was a huge success and we received lots of comments about the fabulous meal everyone enjoyed.

Delightful Dining catered for our Wedding on 2nd August (80 people, three-course sit down meal). Celia, Alex and their team were amazing. It was perfect from start to finish, everyone commented on the delicious food and the incredibly attentive service. They really made the reception run so smoothly.   From our first contact with Delightful Dining via email, they were so encouraging, positive and organised and I was never in any doubt that they wouldn't achieve what we wanted for the day. They went above and beyond to accommodate our budget without ever making us feel like we were compromising on quality and style.   We feel very lucky to have found Delightful Dining to cater for our wedding. We would recommend them. To absolutely anyone planning a wedding or another event.  .Moreexpand_more

Delightful Dining catered for 4 buffet lunches and a dinner party for our golden wedding celebrations. From first contact everything went very well. The food was excellent and the service impeccable. The trouble free, no clearing up after experience enabled us to enjoy our celebrations. After the first buffet lunch we knew everything would be exactly as we had hoped.

Words cannot describe how fantastic this company are - genuine care and attention - advice thorughout the processs and the most delicious food and wine served on the day. More than just a caterer - you are dealing with chefs, everyone who works for them is professional and has a smile on their face. The support from Celia and Alex meant our day was more than could have been expected. Thanks to the team for everything. You were the best part of the day!

We used Delightful Dining for our wedding on the 24th May at Molesey Boat Club. Celia was so helpful from the beginning and listened to our ideas providing advice where necessary. Everything was so well organised and she helped us to work out our timings making sure it all flowed perfectly. Given the size of the kitchen at the boat club we were amazed with what they delivered and all of our guests said how delicious the food was. It was really special to have exactly what we wanted and to not have to worry about anything at all. We would definitely recommend Delightful Dining to anyone who is looking to have a stress free day with delicious food!

Delightful Dining recently arranged to provide a cold buffet, at my home, for a birthday celebration. From my first telephone conversation with Celia, everything worked perfectly. The food was delivered promptly on the morning of the lunch, and everyone who attended, commented on its excellence. I cannot praise Celia more highly. I was extremely plased with everything she provided and would be pleased to recommend her Company.

Delightful dining catered for my daughters 21st party in a marquee. The catering was absolutely perfect, every dish was excellent and Celia had advised just the right quantity. Many of the guests commented on the deliciousness of the food. The staff were efficient and friendly and I was able to relax and enjoy the evening. After my kitchen was tidier than before the event. I will absolutely use Celia again and wholeheartedly recommend delightful dining. Michele.

You made our day really special and the food was remarked upon all day about how fantastic and tender the beef was, and the delicious starter and dessert. It was all FANTASTIC. Your staff were so helpful and lovely. We had the best day ever so thank you very much. Poppy and James 15th Feb 2014.

We are so pleased that we chose Celia and her team to cater on our wedding day (30th August 2013) - "Delightful Dining" absolutely sums up the offering – a “thank you” just doesn’t cut it! With a bride who works in the drinks industry and as a couple, two people who love to cook (and eat) amazing food, Celia had her work cut out. Not that you would have known it – she was a wonder to deal with from start to finish. Our pre-wedding tasting (delivered in thick snow, no less) had proved that we had made a good choice – we loved the delicious dishes and the "family style" serving suggestion to give our guests a huge choice and sticking to our budget. On the Big Day Celia was super organised, and everything was spot-on the mark, from the linens, to the team, to the wonderful food on our plates. Celia certainly runs a tight ship and we were actually ahead of schedule thanks to her incredible organisation! She has such a genuinely likeable nature that I can see why the venue rates her so highly. She devised a menu especially for us, not forgetting yummy food for the children, too, and tweaking everything to our exact requests. We have memories of one amazing wedding banquet. When we look back we both agree that we wouldn’t change one thing about our wedding day – we loved it so much. And thanks to Celia and Delightful Dining we had a wonderful celebration.Moreexpand_more

Celia was very helpful from the start, extremely attentive to our needs, and she delivered the service as promised. They were punctual, the food was very nice, the service was excellent, and it was fantastic value for money.

Amazing canapes served for my 21st birthday party. All the guests couldn't stop commenting on how amazing the food was. Anything that was leftover was completely gone by the end of the party! The waiters were very friendly and helpful, also helping to serve welcome drinks and the whole team were prepared and very professional, helping the party run very smoothly. I have already recommended Delightful Dining to all my friends!

Delightful dining catered a birthday dinner party for us - and it could not have been better. The food was delectable - succulent lamb with lovely vegetables as well as super starters and pudding. The arrangements were really smooth and little effort on my part - the menus are flexible and special diet requests are catered for with no fuss. The service was charming and unobtrusive. Really excellent - I would recommend this company without reservation!

Delightful Dining catered for our wedding in August and we couldn't have been happier with the food and service. Celia was always on hand during the run up, offering advice and helping us create the menu we wanted. On the day everything was perfect and we received lots of compliments about the quality and selection of both the food and drinks. Lots of people told us they loved the menu and thought it was very 'us' and many told it was the best food they had ever eaten at a wedding! The team were great - service was efficient, friendly and all the staff went beyond the call of duty to welcome our guests and make sure everything was perfect - which meant we could really relax and enjoy our day. Overall we thought Delightful Dining were great and we would definitely recommend!
