Olly and his team at Green's Catering were absolutely FABULOUS. They were superb, from the few days prior to my daughter's wedding in their set up, to the wedding day itself. We even employed two of their waiting/bar staff for a second post-wedding event the day after the actual wedding. They were always on hand to help, we never had to ask for extra water bottles for the tables, they were cheerful, helpful, quick to serve and clear up, drinks were made quickly at the bar and to a high standard. This is the second booking we've done with them, and I am already looking for another opportunity to book them for!

We can’t thank Olly and the team enough for the catering and service at our recent wedding! Everything was fantastic, from the initial tasting, to the menu choices, to the service on the day - with a special shout out to Xander for ensuring we had canapés in between photos, and to Ola and Katie for their bar service across multiple days. The food was delicious and so beautifully presented, which is especially impressive given we were 130 guests in a marquee! We’ve had rave reviews from our guests and the catering really did contribute to the best day. We’ll need to come up with another reason to have a party to book Green’s again!

Greens catered our wedding and we honestly cannot praise them enough. Their attention to detail, communication, and willingness to work with us were exceptional. The staff on the day were so attentive and really went above and beyond. We are so pleased that we used Greens for our wedding.

Greens did the catering for my wedding. The food and service provided by Greens was truly excellent. We had so many positive comments from guests about the food – it was delicious. Olly was also incredibly helpful from the start in helping us to figure out what we wanted, and was flexible when we wanted to make small changes as the day approached. He made it all very easy. I would definitely recommend Greens for wedding catering.

If you're looking for high-quality, delicious caterers, look no further. For our wedding, Greens provided amazing service and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Olly, our main point of contact throughout, was a joy to work with — easy-going, with a great sense of humour, which made the whole process really enjoyable. The food was delicious. At our tasting we asked, "Will you really be able to make it taste like this for 90 people?" Olly replied, "Yes, this is our job" — and they didn't let us down! Thanks again to Olly and the whole team at Greens for making the food at our wedding perfect. Both the food and the friendliness of the waitering stuff was complimented endlessly by our friends and family. Worth mentioning too: we did a lot of market research, and they really do seem like the best value around!

Greens catering provided for mine and my partners wedding and i cannot recommend them highly. Throughout the whole planning process the team at greens were superb and completely transparent with costings. We were able to taste the food before our wedding and actually had changed our mind about what food we would have on our day. We had the baked cod (The best fish dish we had ever had) and the eton mess. On our wedding day, the whole greens were absolutely superb. They made the whole dining look seamless and the food was made to perfection. A few guests as well had decided to change their mind on the day and greens were able to accommodate. I seriously cannot thank these guys enough for making our wedding day so special. I will be recommending them to anyone I know who will be having any catered events. Thank you Greens! Ben and Ellie

Green’s catered our wedding reception at the Oxford Botanic Garden on the 11th of July this year, and from our very first enquiry to the day they delivered our food, they were exceptional. Of the three catering companies we got quotes from, Green’s were by far the most responsive, the most reasonable in their pricing and were endlessly amenable to our suggestions and changes throughout the year we worked with them. They happily adapted the menu to suit our various requirements, and the food itself was absolutely delicious. Our guests kept telling us it was some of the best wedding food they’d ever had! We dealt mainly with Tessa and Olly, who were our points of contact throughout, and both were wonderfully flexible. They created custom cocktails and mocktails from recipes we provided, coordinated smoothly with the Oxford Wine Company as our alcohol suppliers, and even added table service for the alcohol over dinner when we asked at the last minute. Our wedding coordinator also mentioned that Green’s were excellently staffed for our event of about 75 guests, with plenty of servers on hand. It was a sweltering heatwave July day in the marquee on the day of our wedding, but the staff stayed cheerful and unbothered by the heat throughout. The bar staff in particular brought fantastic energy to the whole evening! From start to finish, wonderful food, wonderful vibes. We can’t thank Green’s enough!

Olly and the team catered our wedding at Worton Hall and we are so so pleased we had them as our caterers, they were amazing! Everything from the initial planning to the tasting to the set up was so well communicated, and made things so easy for us as a couple. We had an all vegetarian family style menu and the family style worked really well for guests, the portions were really generous and everything was delicious, really well seasoned and complimentary of each of other. The canapes during the reception looked beautiful and felt really plentiful, and it was sweet the team kept coming up to me and my husband to make sure we were able to eat. The desserts and late night food were also brilliant, and we loved that the pizza was circulated to guests dancing, as it meant they didn't need to leave the dancefloor! All the staff on the day were so professional, polite and kind to our guests. We're just thrilled with everything and so grateful to Olly and the team, they helped make it a perfect day.

We can’t thank Greens Catering enough for the unrivalled service and outstanding food they provided for our wedding. Everything was truly exceptional and we have had so much feedback from our guests telling us it was the best wedding food they have ever had. From start to finish, Olly and the team were brilliant to work with. Olly was so helpful in the lead-up to the day, so jolly, calm, reassuring, and always ready with thoughtful solutions to anything we asked for. For the day itself, the team went above and beyond. They laid everything out beautifully, served with such professionalism, and cleared everything away seamlessly, leaving the space immaculate. Every member of staff was polite, friendly, and clearly took great pride in what they do. The whole experience was effortless from our side, and we were able to simply enjoy the day knowing everything was in expert hands. We honestly couldn’t recommend Greens Catering highly enough.

Greens catering have provided the food for a work event I've organised for the last two years in row. I highly recommend them for work events, weddings or similar. We got them in to provide a 3 course meal (both times) along with bacon sandwiches at the end of the night. Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Thanks again to all of the staff at Greens who were involved. Top service and highly professional throughout!
