Mel’s Meals - the perfect choice!
Mel’s Meals - the perfect choice! Our wedding was a month back and guests are still talking about the food and canapés to this day! The food was so delicious, the service on the wedding day was impeccable. We had around 200 guests and opted for bowl service and had 4 canapés and 8 mains, and we’re so glad we did! It was super classy, the presentation of the food was great, every single dish was so tasty.

We even had leftovers.
A huge thank you to Mel’s Meals for the absolutely delicious food at our wedding. From the canapés and cocktails during the cocktail hour to the generous buffet spread, everything was bursting with flavour—and every single guest agreed! We attended her tasting event beforehand, which made it easy (and exciting) to finalise our choices—some of which we added on the spot because the food was that good. On the day, the portions were generous, the quality was 10/10, and we even had leftovers.

They were absolutely amazing!
I worked with Mel's Meal's at a wedding last week and they were absolutely amazing! The team were so efficient and on time and the service was top quality. Having worked with many caterers, Mel's Meals stood out to me as one of the best. The food was delicious, they took great care of their guests and everyone was satisfied and full. I highly recommend them!

Mel’s Meals team remained professional
Excellent service! The food is mouthwatering good! Staff are very professional. They catered at my wedding and there were some issues by another team which caused delays earlier in the day but Mel’s Meals team remained professional and made sure that we still made up the time. Everyone loved the food and impeccable service. If I had to choose again, I’d keep choosing Mel’s Meals. Thank you to the team especially the operations manager Tope who was so present the days leading up to the wedding.

We can't thank the entire Mel's Meals team enough
We can't thank the entire Mel's Meals team enough for their outstanding service on our wedding day. The food throughout the day was exceptional — every guest since the wedding has commented on how delicious the menu was. The team was efficient, polite, and thoroughly professional, and they truly outdid themselves across the board. We’re so grateful for the care and effort that went into making everything run so smoothly.

Another note: Mel's Staff: 10/10/10/10.
Mel's Meals is the best caterer we have ever experienced. It's been about 5 days now and all we've been hearing from guests is how much they loved the food. Many of our guests were from outside the UK, and most said this was the best food they had during their visit, overall! Another note: Mel's Staff: 10/10/10/10. We've had numerous people tell us that the wait staff, servers, etc., were so accommodating, nice, polite, patient, professional. It is incredibly comforting knowing that we trusted

I am soo glad we booked them!
We were so impressed with mels meals at our wedding. Let's start with the obvious... the food is DELICIOUS !!! Honestly, the canapés, the mains, the after dinner bites were all perfect. I can't say anything and about them and I am soo glad we booked them. All out guests were so complimentary The service was spot on too. Everyone is uniformed and well polished. It was such a professional service and it looks sleek. And the most important thing for me is the communication.

They were kept busy nothing was too much trouble.
I worked with Mel’s meals as a wedding planner on a 200 guest wedding. From the very beginning the communication was outstanding. The whole team were very professional and easy to work with. On the day they delivered delicious food and excellent service. The team were cheerful and polite and although they were kept busy nothing was too much trouble. I highly recommend them and look forward to working with them again.

A BIG risk but one I definitely didn't regret!!!
I had seen such positive reviews of Mel' Meals online so I decided to book her without a tasting - a BIG risk but one I definitely didn't regret!!! I had no doubts that she would deliver, and everyone still keeps messaging me to tell me they ate like KINGS at my wedding. The food was sensational, even when I had to take my husband around the room to greet our guest, he didn't want to get up because he wanted to finish his food😂 I'm very very very grateful to her and her team.

Mels Meals : please take your flowers!
Mels Meals : please take your flowers! The food at our wedding was absolutely outstanding. Everyone keeps talking about how delicious every single dish was; from the canapés ( tempura prawns, honey glazed wings) to all the mains - the best mac and cheese ever!!!!. Honestly, it was only by the grace of God that I stumbled across their IG page. I’d been feeling so deflated during wedding planning after being let down by another caterer we couldn’t book, but that caterer honestly did us a favour!
