Birch Catering - Stroud

Harriette B

Birch catered for our wedding and were PHENOMENAL - not only on the day but from the get go. The food on the day was sensational. 120 light & fluffy Double Gloucester cheese soufflés to start, from a field kitchen, is nothing short of incredible. Birch have got not only got wedding catering perfected but from the get go, they were invaluable to planning our wedding. Nothing was ever too much trouble. The whole team at Birch were fantastic. Isabella, in particular, is an asset to Birch Catering and was a joy to plan the wedding with - she took so much burden from our shoulders right from the initial meeting to on the day when everything ran like clockwork. We are eternally grateful to Birch and could not recommend highly enough.

Birch did the food for our wedding and we were absolutely blown away by them! We've had so many compliments on how good the food was from our wedding guests. Everything from the canapes through to the late night noodle boxes was INCREDIBLE. Isabella and Ryan went above and beyond. If we could give more then 5 stars we would!

Birch did the catering for our wedding back in May. They were absolutely brilliant, from the delicious food to the excellent catering staff. We can’t thank you enough, we are thrilled with how smoothly our day went. No complaints at all, would definitely recommend. PS highly recommend the Cotswold board! ?

Had an absolutely fantastic meal at Brich. The food was top notch, not a huge menu but a good few options for starters, main and desert that includes fish, meat and vegetarian (I have uploaded a pic of the menue for our visit, I'm sure it changes regularly). Three or four bottles each of red and white wine starting around £18 bottle - had a lovely malbec this time. They also have a few nice local beers and a some lovely cocktails. Service is friendly and efficient, not overly attentive but they make sure you are happy. Highly recommended!

Birch catered our wedding in August and we could not be happier with how absolutely amazing they were! The food was incredible!! We're foodies so have high expectations and Birch just blew us away. Guests have told us since the event that it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding. The team was lovely, professional, and efficient, a great experience overall and we highly recommend them!

Hot chocolates are absolutely delicious! As a café in the day its nice and relaxing, but there aren't many options for food. If you're looking for a good quality café just for coffee, tea etc. Then I would recommend. There are choices of brownie or orange cake, but no sandwiches or other things. Feels a little limited, but service is prompt

Very pleasant restaurant. In a spacious pleasant space, the food was excellent, with all of my party very content. The service was first rate, smooth and proffessional. The wine list was short, but gave a well selected choice at a reasonable cost. Closing at 21.30 was the only drawback, which for me was unusually early. Recommended.

Really mixed feelings about Birch. We had a fantastic Sunday lunch on the 17th May, but our Father’s Day Sunday lunch was very disappointing. Friendly staff, order arrived on time and was nice and hot.

The beef roast was excellent and the roast potatoes across all three meals outstanding ?.

However, when dishing up the lamb - there wasn’t even one slice in the container, it was lots of stuffing instead. The small amount of lamb that was given, was beautifully cooked and the flavours very good.

The third meal ordered was a veggie with a Yorkshire and instead a vegan meal was delivered. No Yorkshire, a piece of pastry piled with bland squash and spinach - really uninteresting and just an overload of more vegetables (things have moved on from veggie choices in the 1980’s). Vegan cauliflower cheese, is a good effort, but not as tasty as the real thing and definitely not what I ordered!

We rang Birch to raise these issues and we weren’t satisfied with their response. They offered to deliver another slice of lamb and a Yorkshire pudding in about 15 minutes. Our meals would have been cold by then, or if we’d continued to eat - no one wants to just eat a slice of meat or a Yorkshire pudding on it own after the rest of the meal is finished. The issue of the vegan meal rather than veggie meal, was not addressed either - half of it was put in the bin! Over all Father’s Day lunch experience poor, I appreciate that things do go wrong - particularly on a popular Sunday. However, we gave Birch the opportunity to put things right by making contact and we have been left feeling very undervalued.

Previously I have recommended Birch to lots of people during Lockdown, I’m now reluctant to do this.
