Testimonials
Simon and the team at Food for Thought are truly fantastic — I honestly can’t recommend them highly enough! We used them for our wedding at Casa de la Era, and everyone was raving about the food and service. They’re a highly professional team that you can completely trust with your big day.
From our welcome drinks and seating arrangements to parasols, canopies, the main meal, champagne tower, dry fireworks, bar service, and late-night snacks — they managed it all flawlessly. It’s quite the operation, but the team is clearly experienced, organised, and incredibly slick.
Food for Thought are a well-oiled machine and played a huge part in making our day as special as it was. Thank you so much to Simon and his amazing team! 10/10

Recently used these guys for my wedding and they did a superb job. Everything was perfect and I did not need to worry about a thing as they had everything under control and reassured me. The canapés were absolutely beautiful and everybody commented on how good they were and I had a hog roast which went down a treat. The staff were so friendly and lovely and tables and chairs were set up and taken away without me even noticing. Fantastic job and couldn’t recommend more highly.
