Testimonials

Having worked with Colin and Sian on a location TV job before, Aniseed was always going to be my first and only choice for our wedding. The relaxed and laid back approach to things entirely hides the fantastic organisation that just makes everything flow seamlessly on the day. As our backgrounds are South African and Irish we wanted the food to reflect a combination of the two. Colin's menu did this and exceptional quality of the food and service provided has been commented on by everyone who attended. While other suppliers struggled with a wedding between Christmas/New Year during the wettest December on record Aniseed came through and excelled in every regard and I would highly recommend them and look forward to working (eating) with them again soon.

Matthew and I were absolutely delighted by the food you created for our wedding at Maunsel House. So many people commented on how great it was – ‘melt in your mouth venison’ (quoted by my 88 year old grandmother!) And even I ate everything despite being the jittery bride!! I will and already have recommended you to others.Claire & Matthew - Wedding Maunsel House
Aniseed Catering provided a hot buffet for my wedding reception. The team were very friendly and professional, coped with everything I threw at them and made the most fantastic food. I really appreciated meeting the team before the wedding to talk food and the joys of catering for vegans and I came away feeling very confident that I had made the right choice. The front of house team were fab, and ensured my table was laid with the vintage swallow plates, such a lovely touch. Above all I really loved the fact that I felt that Aniseed had listened to everything I had said and ensured that the food provided was exactly what I'd asked for. I wasn't made to feel like they knew best, although they probably do! and everything was tailored to what me and my husband were looking for. Becky and Leroy’s Wedding
Again thanks for all your lovely food last night; very yummy indeed (my waistline is growing each time we have you in!). Please pass on our thanks to all your staff who were wonderful.Canapé Reception - Office openingTowry Bristol
Thank you so much for making our day so amazing. People have not stopped saying how fantastic the food was and you made it all run like clockwork.Hannah & Vicki - Civil Partnership
Huge thanks for making this wedding a truly memorable affair. From the initial planning meetings in Bristol when you knew instinctively exactly what the bride and groom would like, to the mammoth job of transporting everything to the rural location, setting up your mobile kitchen in our garden and then the final clear-up at the end of the day. The Aniseed team were extremely friendly, helpful and super-efficient throughout. As well as being delicious, the food was beautifully presented, with many little innovative touches - the fish and chip canapés were a particular triumph!Lenni Lewis - Wedding Suffolk

Thank you for catering for our event last night, the feedback from staff/clients on both the food and service has been really positive and on a personal note, the fact that you left the kitchen spotless was a huge help to my Client Suite team.

Just to say a big thank you to all for the amazing canapés at my husband's 40th birthday party. I said I wanted food that was different and Aniseed promised something different and they delivered much much more - the food brought an air of sophistication to the evening and presentation of the food was second to none! ...we are still receiving wonderful comments raving about the food almost a month later!Amanda Patterson - Canapé Reception
Thank you so much for making my party on Saturday so enjoyable. I have had so many compliments about the food and service-the coeliacs were particularly impressed that their particular needs had been taken into account. We were also incredibly impressed at the way in which you prepared and cleared up after the event. I would have no hesitation in recommending your food highly!Fiona Stewart - Garden Party, Clifton
I attended an event in Bristol at View gallery last Thursday and Aniseed's canapés and service were excellent.Richard Lowe - Canapé ReceptionView Art Gallery
I recently booked Aniseed for a private dining event near Bristol. From the menu development through to the final delivery of food on the night, I found the team at Aniseed to be creative, imaginative, flexible and with a good eye for detail. The food turned out was fantastic, and they played a big part in making the event a fantastic success for all of us. I'd happily recommend them to any other clients.James Marchant - 007 Themed Dinner
Thank you once again for a sterling service. Everything impeccable, as usual, from the presentation, to the food, to the service.Consider as done a booking for about the same time next year.Simon King OBE - Meadow lunch, FromeSimon King
I just want to say what a pleasure it was to work with you all. The food was amazing (especially the desserts), your timings were perfect, the coffee stands were perfect, I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Thank you so very much, I wish I could take you everywhere we’re going, but I will definitely pass your details along here and call you whenever I need catering around Bristol. Thank you thank you thank you.Danelle Roux - Crew CateringMentorn Media @ Motion, Bristol
Thanks for all your hard work last Saturday and leading up to the party – we all had a great time and having you guys operating the bar b q was wonderful – delicious food and very much appreciated.Mark Cohen - Birthday Bbq Clifton
Just wanted to say a big thanks for the amazing food and wonderful service you provided us with last week for our shoot. Everyone was talking about how delicious the food was and it was hard to keep the crew awake to film after having such full bellies! I know our producer really appreciated the extra effort that went into his gluten free meals; he didn’t feel like he was missing out on anything, in fact many people wanted to try his! The brownies are absolutely to die for! We look forward to working with you guys again.Carla Andrews - Crew CateringHappy Hour Productions
Many, many thanks to you and your team for making my husbands 50th birthday lunch so special. I thought the food was absolutely delicious, the ceviche of smoked haddock starter probably stealing the show for me, and the waitresses did a fantastic job given the awful weather conditions. So thanks again, it was a pleasure to work with you and I will certainly be recommending you in the future.Liz Tavener - 50th Birthday Party
We would like to thank you and your team again for the lovely food and the excellent service which made the launch evening of the opening of our hulsta stores in Bristol and Manchester as well as our launch evening of our German Lifestyle Exhibition 2012 at our flagship store in London a huge success.Anne Bergerbush - UK Store OpeningHuelsta UK
Thank you all for cooking some fabulous food throughout Springwatch, and for feeding our hungry and demanding masses for a month! It was always served with a smile even in the pouring rain, with some mouth-watering options to choose from, good and hearty when we needed it, delicious lighter options and a great response to individual’s requirements.Jo Armstrong | Location CateringBBC Springwatch
