Bespoke Catering - Carlisle

Iain offered a fantastic service from meeting us to plan and discuss a menu for our relaxed wedding to he and his team delivering the most delicious meal! They arrived on time as planned to the property we had rented and quickly set to work preparing our meal, it was served at a nice speed and with impeccable service. We had arancini to start, a garlic chicken pasta or beef ragu main and then chocolate brownie with coffee icecream for dessert, every bite was delicious and we have been dreaming about it since! Iain is friendly and approachable and flexible in the way he works, we would highly recommend Bespoke Catering and hope to use him again in the future if the opportunity arises!

We hired Iain and his team at Bespoke Catering for our wedding in The Lakes, 5th June 2025. He made everything so easy from initial contact to the execution on the day. The food was fantastic and we received so many 5* reviews from our guests we thought it only fair to pass it on! We would hire Iain again in a heartbeat!
Thank you

Having always loved Iain's cooking, Bespoke Catering was always going to be first choice for our wedding... And Iain did not disappoint! From the initial planning, he offered suggestions of dishes that complemented each other and were in keeping with the theme of the wedding. We opted for a mixture of delicious canapés on arrival, followed by a wedding breakfast of chicken terrine, mixed meat platter with various sides in the middle of the table for guests to share, and a trio of desserts to finish. We had gyros for our evening meal which Iain was happy to cook in a specific way (to keep the Groom happy), which was the perfect food to finish the night off. The guests have since commented how memorable and enjoyable the food was - always a good thing.
The staff were friendly and attentive, and always happy to help. They were really accommodating with last minute changes to guest numbers, and I could trust that every detail was taken care of so we could enjoy our day, stress-free. A huge thank you to the whole team, would 100% recommend them for any special events you may be planning.

Iain and his team did an incredible job catering our wedding. From working with us on the menu to helping us plan the day, Iain was a massive help in the run up to the wedding and the food on the day was out of this world. We've had nothing but compliments from our guests on how amazing everything was, thanks so much!

We can’t thank Iain and his team enough for the catering at our wedding. We received so many compliments from guests on how great the food was and also how much of it there was! Dealing with Iain has been a pleasure from start to finish, always helpful and responsive, and also providing lots of ideas along the way. Thank you so much for being part of our special day, Annie and Ed

Iain and his team catered for my wedding in June and we loved everything!
Iain was so chilled with any requests and he was happy to make anything we wanted. We made a few changes to our menu and he made it really easy.
He was awesome at adapting to the space we had available at the village hall and made it work flawlessly.
The food was amazing and really well priced. Our guests loved the carve your own roast beef and people still haven't stopped talking about eh cumberland sausage baps in the evening...
Thank you Iain, you smashed it!

Bespoke Catering Cumbria made a hugely positive contribution to the success of a recent family weekend in Martindale. From initial contact through planning to serving dinner and lunch to our group of fifteen, including vegans and vegetarians as well as omnivores, Iain McKay was very easy to work with. Everybody agreed that the food was superb and the service pitch-perfect. Our non-meat-eaters were delighted with their dishes, and we were all hugely impressed that the team was able to take the lack of power in the wake of storm Éowen in their stride. Full marks!

Everything Iain and his brilliant team did for us on our wedding day was absolutely top drawer.

The food was perfect - we received lots of compliments both on and after the day about the quality of it. The beef brisket and bbq beans were particular favourites.

Iain was very responsive and helpful in the weeks/days leading up to the wedding, which made our life easier.

The team on the day were brilliant too - always smiling and willing to help and going the extra mile to help make the day what it was - perfect.

Thank you Iain and the whole team.
