Just a note to say thank you so much for everything this weekend. You, Mike and the team absolutely smashed it!
From the setup, to the food, we felt so relaxed, looked after and well fed. We had some family and friends say it was the best wedding food they’d had and the lamb was a particular hit!
Please pass on our thanks to all those involved. We’ll be sure to share any photos soon!
Wedding at Oxleaze Barn - Saturday 30th July 2022We had the most wonderful day and a huge thanks to you and your team for making it all run so smoothly.
We’ve received lots of compliments on the food and staff – I don’t think there was an empty plate in sight!
Wedding at Gaddesden Estate - Saturday 30th April 2022We just wanted to send a note to say a MASSIVE thank you for everything you and your teams did on Saturday.
Everything was absolutely impeccable, the food unbelievable (even all the vendors said it was the best food they’d ever had at an event!) and your staff were just perfect. Nothing was ever too much trouble and the room looked absolutely stunning.
We cannot thank you enough for your patience, kindness and just exceptional work.
Wedding at Kirtlington Park- Saturday 2nd July 2022Thank you so very much for doing such a fantastic array of food, we had so many compliments about it from the guests.
It really was perfectly balanced and of such excellent quality as usual and just hit the spot with the type of relaxed party we were trying to create. Mike it was also a pleasure getting to know you a little better and thank you for your so relaxed approach . Your staff were excellent giving very attentive service always with a smile and engaging so well with the guests …………..all in all it made for the ‘Greens Experience’ which we have come to expect !
Hopefully we can think of another excuse for a party soon and see you all again !!
Private Party in Bedfordshire for 110 guests - Sat 8th June 2019May I again take this opportunity to thank you and the team for all of your efforts on the day – and indeed in the days leading up to it.
Julia and I have received countless compliments about the food – the service and the good humour and helpfulness of your whole team – and there is no doubt that the event would have been nowhere near as successful without all of you.
As you say – one never knows – another opportunity may yet arise – so do not throw away our address!
Ruby Wedding Anniversary for 120 guests in Bedfordshire -15th June 2019Thank you so much for the excellent service you provided for us last Friday.
I can’t begin to tell you how grateful we are. The food was delicious and the members of your team were very helpful and provided friendly but unobtrusive service. The feedback from our guests has been overwhelmingly complimentary.
We would not hesitate to use Greens Catering again and would thoroughly recommend you. I particularly appreciated your help with closing the Marquee at the end of the evening and many other thoughtful gestures.
Corporate 40th Anniversary for 85 guests - Fri 21st June 2019.What a triumph! We all had an amazing time on Saturday, and so did our family and friends. We’re getting lots of feedback about how delicious and beautiful the food was.
Also the mum of one of the coeliacs contacted me to say thank you for making gluten-free so easy for her daughter. I wanted to pass that onto you with our thanks.
Thank you also for impeccable service and timing despite all the many challenges. We didn’t make it easy for you I know: 200 people for canapes immediately followed by 180 people for three courses, in a tent, with speeches in between plus a couple of power cuts.
My personal feedback is that every single aspect of the food, from the perfect spring rolls to the very popular chocolate-covered fruit, met our (extremely high) expectations. I managed to snag two leek and gruyere tartlets, a chicken skewer, two shortbreads and two macarons at the reception. All completely delicious. The salmon was absolutely superb. And the lamb and puree – just mmmmmmmm. I even managed a few fabulous desserts amongst the chaos of the dancing.
When talking through the whole day yesterday Ruby and I in particular just had one regret: that we hadn’t eaten more. Ruby in fact was almost tearful about the wasted tartlet-and-scone opportunity: I think she was too relieved at that point to eat very much. So we spent some time brainstorming future Greens opportunities. Watch this space.
B'Not Mitzvah for 180 guests in London - Sat 4th May 2019.The first thing I saw on our return from the church was all the waiting staff with trays of champagne, such a welcome after a very hectic morning!
We had the most fantastic day/weekend. Katie and your staff were incredible; we couldn’t have asked for more.
Our special thanks and mention to Katie for running everything seamlessly. Amongst everything else she found time to deal with the bridesmaids bouquets and I think it was Katie who arranged them beautifully on the steps after the cheese was cleared away. I loved the way the staff would come out together in a line to serve/clear up. The beef was perfectly cooked, salads and potatoes also delicious. I could go on and on!
Wedding for 110 guests in Wallingford - Sat 25th May 2019WOW!! What an absolutely amazing day and so so much is down to you: your calmness, your wonderful staff and, of course, the stunning food.
You do realise that you have completely spoilt us so that we shan’t want anyone else ever to cater for any event that may come up in the future… you have been warned!
We so appreciate everything you did for us – it made the day so enjoyable without ever feeling stressed. I don’t know how you keep so remarkably jovial and seemingly without any fuss! So many of our guests (pretty much everyone) have raved about the food and how pleasant and helpful all your staff were.
Wedding Anniversary for 120 guests in Kent - Sat 25th May 2019I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and all your staff at Greens Catering for the fantastic food and service that you provided at our daughter Emily’s 21st party.
The food was superb, and we have received countless compliments. The canapés were so appetising, especially theTempura prawns. The Balinese Chicken and Beef Tagine were so full of flavour and complemented the travel theme perfectly. As for the puddings someone described them as being “to die for”. The suggestion of late night pizza was inspired and enjoyed by young and old. Everything was so beautifully presented and your staff all so charming.
21st Birthday Party for 85 guests in Oxfordshire - Sat 22nd June 2019.Thank you so much to you and your wonderful team for all the hard work and preparation you put into making our day so special.
The food was completely delicious- the lamb was a real highlight, and the salads were perfect for the heat. The canapes were to die for- and so lovely that Dom and I had our own tray… No chance we would have had a moment to eat them otherwise!
As for the cheese… I thought, when I saw a group of people huddled over by the table, that they were signing our guest book, but no- they were devouring the cheese!
Your staff were absolutely brilliant, especially the boys at the bar – so polite and quick to serve me with ice when I was melting! One of the waiting staff was an old student which was funny!
The time you took to make our day so wonderful won’t be forgotten, from the tasting menu to helping me make sense of my table plans and keeping everyone calm. Mum also sings your praises, and we would all recommend you in a heartbeat. I think one couple are even in contact with you re their own party!
Once again, thank you for everything. Please send our best wishes and thanks to your team.

It was a pleasure to liaise with all of you and you were all so helpful, thank you. Everyone commented on how delicious the food was so a massive thank you to the chef too of course! Your waiting staff were a pleasure on the evening too.
We had so many compliments about the food and it’s presentation.
One very good friend of mine said it was not only restaurant quality it was ‘high end’ restaurant quality ! It was really excellent and people were just amazed how you managed to do that for so many people at one time. Each course was perfect and right through to the cheese table and late night delicious feasts……. everyone felt quite spoilt!
The canapes were delightful and the staff were very attentive on making sure everyone was continually topped up with Champagne which was one of my main requests for the Reception…………it made the guests kinder to my speech.
Wedding Client - August 2017A first class catering team!
Green’s provided us with an excellent level of food and service, all in keeping with our party theme and within our budget, within a very short space of time. All was delivered to an exceptionally high standard, and the staff were very friendly and approachable – we will definitely engage them again.
Everyone loved the food, and your staff were incredibly helpful.
I just wanted to say an enormous thank you to you both for all the support you gave me with my mums 80th birthday party. Thank you Mike for the delicious food! Everyone loved the food, and your staff were incredibly helpful and gave impeccable service. Olly, thank you so much for the many conversations we had over the phone (and Mike too!) to iron all the details out. You were very accommodating and brought some humour into what was proving to be a very stressful time – thank you!
80th Birthday Party, Oxfordshire, 70 guests; Jan 2017
The food was superb, and we have had so many compliments.
A huge thank you to you and all the team for all you did to make Leo’s party such a success. Katie and the team were so professional, everything was covered and efficient, which was especially good for me as I could actually enjoy the party.
The food was superb, and we have had so many compliments. The canapés were perfect and the main course all delicious. Please thank Mike for all his hard work, and the cottage pie went down a storm on Sunday. I still have one in the freezer, we shall eat it over Christmas and I will return the dish.
Private Party; December 2016
We’d like to thank Mike and his team for being incredible at our wedding!
The service was impeccable and everyone absolutely loved the food – they couldn’t believe what was produced in a small catering tent! Several people said that the lamb was the best they had ever tasted. The attention to detail, from the bar to the hay bales was just perfect. They even remembered to give my grandma her bottle of rose and she was so chuffed!
Private Client at Rushy Meadows, Oxfordshire; June 2016“I just wanted to say thank you so much to both yourself and Greens Catering for your help and support for the wedding.
Starting off with the Friday evening where you catered for us, and through the wedding itself. Feedback from everyone was that the food was the best they have ever tasted, and not only tasting good looked fantastic. My favourite the scallop canapés I am still dreaming about. Adding to that your flexibility, attention to detail, and overall…” more >>
Private Wedding Client“Thank you, from the menu tasting with you last year, I was very happy and felt very ‘safe’ both with you as our choice of caterers and the menu – I had no doubt that you would deliver a wonderful dinner. But, you surpassed my expectations. From the arrival of Olly on Friday all the way to the waiting staff arriving, to the phenomenal service and fantastic food. We have been inundated with complements – or I should say you have.” more >>

Wedding Client, Oxford; May 2015“…In July 2014, CLE Ltd sought the support of Greens to supply both the buffet and plated lunch catering, delivered fresh on a daily basis. We found Mike and his team to be punctual, courteous and very flexible in adapting to our needs, at a show which has a very limited access times and stringent security procedures. Mike was willing to adapt his kitchen to meet our client’s specific food requests and we found his approach very refreshing…” more >>
Managing Director of CLE Prep to Pass 2014“Our daughter’s recent wedding was an all day affair held in our garden making the catering quite a complex task for Mike and his team as they had to create a street food for the afternoon and an evening meal for around 130 guests. It all went down really well: dishes such as Thai curry and noodles…” more >>
