Ako Dining Catering -

I cannot recommend Ako enough! We met Olivia and Zak in the July prior to our May 2023 wedding to discuss menu options and we came away from the meeting absolutely buzzing for the day. They helped us to create a menu which we felt was different, relaxed and suited us and they talked us through the process step by step. Next came our menu trial in February which was absolutely delicious and we couldn’t believe the portion sizes. Everything came together perfectly. Good food at a wedding is always something we talk about as guests and we knew our guests were going to be wowed, thank you Zak! Olivia is so calm and handles everything you need (which is so appreciated as a stressed out bride). My bridesmaid commented on what a gem Olivia had been the day before and during the wedding even bringing my husband and I our own canapés whilst having our photos taken. Olivia and Zak are such positive and lovely people that we couldn’t imagine our wedding day without them. Thank you both and we hope our paths cross again soon!

Olivia and Zac catered for our wedding in April 2022 and we could not have been more impressed. They mentioned that they had previously worked at Chewton Glen, and the quality and the creativity you would expect from Michelin star food was found on our plates. Our menu was carefully planned to reflect our favourite dishes, tying together classic Welsh staples with modern, British cuisine. On the day, the food was sublime; from canapés right through to desert, we and our guests loved everything.

Key positives:
- The food was delicious (and very reasonably priced)!
- Zac and Olivia arrived at our wedding venue the day before and were incredibly prepared.
- Nothing was too much trouble at any point.
- Service was outstanding; on each table, all guests were served their food simultaneously, with no mistakes.
- Olivia went above and beyond to also ensure our cake was correctly displayed.
- All kitchen staff were professional and positive making the day run incredibly smoothly.

We have since been to other weddings, and the food did not hold a candle to what Zac and Olivia achieved for us on our wedding day. They couldn’t have given us a more perfect wedding breakfast. We will reflect on and appreciate their work for a lifetime.

Thank you Zak and Olivia!

5 stars isn't enough for these guys. Zak and Olivia came to our home on Friday evening and cooked and presented the most amazing 5 course dinner, celebrating our friends 60th birthday. The food, cooked by Zak was mouthwateringly delicious and Olivia laid our table beautifully and was the perfect host. We have used AKO Dining several times and I cannot recommend them highly enough. I shall be dreaming about that food until the next time. Thanks so much, it was perfection!

Olivia and Zak went above and beyond creating the most incredible food for our wedding day. The canapés were delicious and looked amazing, down to every fine detail! The main meal with also delicious and so many of our guest complimented the food. We also enjoyed spending time with you both at our pre wedding tasting session, getting to know you both was a real pleasure. We look forward to using Ako Dining again in the future! Thank you so much x

We loved our experience with Ako during our wedding weekend at Almer Manor in Dorset. Zak and Olivia catered for a variety of food including taco's, paella, sushi, cold cuts amongst other fabulous dishes for our cocktail buffet. The Ako team were very attentive and we would definitely use them again in the future. Thank you Zak, Olivia and the team!!!

We hired Ako Dining to cater for our wedding earlier this year and we were beyond amazed with how incredible the quality of food and service was. Every step of the process was an absolute pleasure, especially the incredible tasting! Zak and Olivia were so personable and professional with every correspondence, we felt assured and relaxed up until the big day. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Wow, what an amazing experience Ako Dining provided us. We booked Ako Dining for my Mums 60th, and it was the best decision we made. The food was delicious, and the team were just as amazing! They were accommodating, friendly and extremely talented.
I can definitely speak from all of us, that we certainly will be booking with Ako again!

We used Ako dinning for a family Party end of April 24. We would like to thank Olivia and Zak and their wonderful team for the incredible catering at our party.
The canapé and main courses (barbecue, paella,salads ) were fantastic and the quality of the food was very fresh. I was very pleased with the presentation of the meal and exemplary service of your staff. We will definitely use your services and thank you again.
