Paxtonandbrown Avis 

Paxton & Brown recently catered for our son's wedding. From the start of the planning process to the day itself they were a pleasure to work with. Nothing was too much trouble. We could not fault their attention to detail.

The day itself was one of the hottest of the year and yet Henny, James and the team worked tirelessly to ensure on the day everything went according to plan. The canapes, wedding breakfast and evening supper were all superb.

I would have no hesitation recommending Paxton and Brown....indeed I wish we could do the whole thing again.

There’s a lot to organise when your daughter tells you she’d like to have her wedding at home. My biggest concern was the caterer. How on earth do you find a good one? It was pure luck (after a bit of trawling through the internet). When I first spoke to Henny and Holly on the phone they immediately sounded confident and easy to work with. I was also put in touch with James the chef He asked me what I was looking for on the catering side of the wedding. It was easier to tell James what I didn’t want: “I don’t want Table 1 to be starting dessert while Table 14 are just receiving their starter; I don’t want just one member of staff struggling to looking after 6 tables on their own, we need lots of waiters available and attentive; and I certainly don’t want to be served a sad piece of rubbery chicken breast which looks likes it’s spent the last 2 hours under a heat lamp! And nobody should leave the wedding feeling hungry.” James replied with “Sounds like you’ve been to the same dreadful weddings that I’ve been to” and I immediately knew that Paxton & Brown were a fab choice.

They were professional, confident, helpful, sensible, they skilfully fielded our numerous phone calls, emails, texts (even quite late one evening) and assured us that everything was under control. P&B were a delight to work with. Even in the trickiest moments of preparation we had such a laugh.

OMG! What a magnificent magical day! Nothing was too much trouble for Henny and the team. The food was absolutely delicious - I’ve had so many compliments from people about the catering: canapés, sit down meal and then a table laid up with fabulous food again in the evening. Our wedding was on one of the hottest days of the year - Henny came to warn me and apologise that the main course might be 5 minutes late as the staff were struggling slightly in the heat - I was amazed that they were all still standing! Any food left over from the evening buffet was packed up by P&B and put in my fridge.

So, book them for your parties - but I feel you’re going to have to move quickly as they are becoming very popular because they are so amazing! I’m already trying to find another excuse to book them!

Paxton and Brown catered our wedding and it was absolutely incredible. The canapés, the main and evening food were all really special, and got very high praise from all of our guests throughout the day.
Throughout the whole process they really helped us with any requests that we had, and catered for all the different dietary needs in such a way that everyone had a similar version of the main menu, without feeling too left out. Even very odd last minute dietary need they managed to fix without any hassle.
They were very communicative the whole time, especially running up the big day, responding very quickly even if late at night.
Initially we didn't know what we wanted, but after a conversation with James, he got to know us, our backgrounds, and what we like, he then came up with a delicious sounding menu right off the bat on the same phone. It really made us confident that we would choose them to be our caterers.
Overall we were very happy with hiring Paxton and Brown, wouldn't haven't changed one thing, and would be happy to work with them again in future.

Paxton & Brown recently catered for our wedding on 27th May 2023.
Ever since we signed them up the whole process was incredibly stress free. There are so many things I was impressed with;
- The wedding tasting at home. Gave you such a great glimpse at how amazing the food was going to be and a lovely thing to do.
- Henny's attention to detail and organisation from start to finish. There isn't one thing she doesn't think of and it really puts your mind at rest.
- We wanted to use meat from my brothers farm and it was never an issue for the team - cooked to perfection and the sharing feats was a great way to showcase meat.
- Last but no means least, James and his teams amazing cooking. Our guests are still talking about the food now and many of them commented saying it was 'The best wedding food they have ever had!!'
Highly Highly Highly recommend. Thanks Guys!

We had the team from P&B to cater for my wife’s 40th at the weekend for 10 of us at our home.
The whole process with them was seamless, really friendly team and super flexible. And the food was amazing - from canapés to Moroccan lamb to raspberry soufflés for dessert.
Would reccomend in a heartbeat and will be using them again soon!

First class nice people great food and exactly as we requested, and they left the kitchen cleaner than when they started!!
