We hired Bears Pantry for an event in Leeds where they catered for 30 people. They loved the concept of our event and created a beautiful menu for it, with accompanying wine. On the night, the staff was super - everything ran like clockwork - and all the guests loved the food. I can highly recommend Bears Pantry if you're looking for professional staff, delicious and creative food, all for a great value! More...

Bears Pantry catered our wedding breakfast at New Craven Hall in July and both the food and service were fantastic. So many of our guests commented on the delicious chicken and ham hock sharing pies which we had for our main course. The chocolate orange brownies for dessert also went down a storm. Their ability to cater to our vegan/vegetarian guests was also impressive, with them devising a menu that complemented our meat option perfectly. Wonderful experience all round! More...

Our experience with Bear’s Pantry was the best. We booked them for our wedding in our garden and we wanted good food to be at the heart of our special day. We were very pleased to find caterers who love food as much as we do and their beautiful creations made in our very own garden gave us the most amazing dining experience for our wedding. Thanks for contributing to an unforgettable day. We’re just wondering when we can book you again! More...

My daughter had a wedding picnic at East Riddlesden Hall everybody was amazed at the food. It was beautiful , very different, full of tasty bites so, so good! Very good value too and my daughter found them so much more helpful and co-operative than anyone else she had spoken too. A proffessional job with a very personal rather than corporate touch. Thank you. More...

Bears Pantry catered for my wedding last Saturday and I am so glad they did. They were a dream from start to finish. Nicole is fantastic and was great at keeping in touch and answering questions quickly! Our tasting was amazing and we found it hard to choose the food because everything was so good. They adjusted one of their dishes to ensure our menu was pescetarian and everyone absolutely loved all the food. I loved the sharing aspect of the food and the portion sizes were excellent. All the staff were brilliant. Just need to organise another event now so we can use them again! Thank you! More...

These guys mean business. I had a few shandies on my wedding day so have pretty patchy memories. One thing I do remember is the food that Bears Pantry cooked up. It was absolutely on point. Of the 200 people that came, countless have commented on how the canapés were the best they'd ever tasted. Then the sit down... 3 faultless courses that came thick and fast. We were very descriptive / difficult about what we wanted - Bears totally took it on board and made a better version of what we could ever have imagined. It was spectacular. Thank you! More...

Recently used Bears Pantry to cater for my wife's 30th at our house and would highly recommend them. Sam was very professional and always on hand to help. He suggested various menu options and did not disappoint with the food on the day - it was fantastic!

Like Sam, his staff were very professional and could not do enough to help on the day, making my life pretty easy! Everyone was stuffed by the end of the day and had plenty of praise for the chef! Would definitely use again for similar events.

Bears Pantry were the caterers for our wedding, plus they did a BBQ for us the following day. Our experience with Bears Pantry was perfect, from the first time we met them, to trying their food at the Bradford beer festival before booking them, to the tasting where they made my (now) husband a birthday cake in addition to the menu, to the actual experience on the day. I can honestly say the food was a massive hit. If anything the food upstaged the bride � The guests were so happy and we were over the moon. We chose: canapés - celeriac shots, scotch eggs, feta and fig toast. Starter - charcuterie boards. Main event - pork belly with proper crackling. The sharing style of the food went down a storm and made the whole atmosphere of the wedding super friendly. In the evening they baked us pizzas - before I knew it these were gone! Luckily, they had saved us 2 pizzas and put them in our room so when we woke up it was pizza and prosecco for our first breakfast as a married couple. The BBQ was to die for, plenty of food to keep us going for the whole day. The hardest part of our experience was choosing the food from some a vast choice of delicious food. I would highly recommend them as caterers for any event. They are funny, friendly, caring and have an attention to detail that makes the instagramable food taste even better than you can imagine! Amazing!! More...

From start to finish I loved planning our wedding menu with Sam. He knew how important provenance and quality of ingredients was to me and he carefully curated a menu that ticked every box. The best charcuterie, burrata and langoustines a bride could ask for! The filet steak and monkfish was also sublime. So much for the bride not eating her wedding food- certainly not the case for me as there was no way I was missing this. Thank you Sam and team for creating a truly delicious FEAST.... all out of a military tent too. You are the best! Same again next year?!! More...

We hired bears pantry for our wedding. We wanted food to match our rustic theme and felt their style of food really matched us as a couple. We had a charcuterie board to start with meats and cheeses (mushroom truffle and tapenade were amazing) bbq option for main with rib eye steak, herb chicken and lamb shawarma with salad, corn and potato sides then brownie to finish. It was delicious and all our guests absolutely loved it. It was no bother at all for them to cater for a gluten/diary free guest and last minute veggie option who both also commented how great the food was. Sam really is a great chef with a great vision for food. Thanks so much!! Literally cant tell you how much everyone commented on how amazing the food was. Thanks again! More...

Anyone who hasn't had chance to call for breakfast or lunch or just coffee and cake at the pop up cafe , long row Horsforth really should. The coffee is delicious, the famous cheese sandwich was loved by both me my mum and sampled by my little one and niece. ( we loved the fig jam too,+ brownies) All At very reasonable prices though remember to take more cash as u may want to take cake home for that sweet tooth moment. Great for school pick up too. The staff were helpful friendly and attentive and knowledgable. Any businesses local etc call and order night before or morning and collect... Definitely recommend and am already to go back tomorrow to get some "heavily" lemon drizzle cake and black pudding runny scotch egg mmmmm More...
