Wow. What an amazing lady. I took a chance ordering my cake. But my experience was nothing but positive. The cake was ordered for 60 people but would have fed way more than that. The price was affordable. The cake not only looked amazing but tasted amazing. It was delivered by a very lovely lady too. Thank you so much guys More...

Milissia and her family were charming, very helpful, kept in touch, were very prompt and provided an excellent and attractive cold buffet range at a good price. Everything was all well received and appreciated by my guests. Here are a few constructive and positive suggestions to make it even better. The vol au vents had too much pastry and not enough filling, the couscous would have looked more appealing it if had a garnish of parsley or coriander, and we think that the quiche would have looked more appealing as one large quiche rather than little slices. The only thing we didn't like was the hand-written labels stuck on the cling film describing each dish. The presentation would look far more professional if the description labels are typed or pre-printed rather like table setting place name cards.
Best wishes with your business.

I use this company for the first time for a funeral celebration today. And was absolutely amazed at both the quality, the freshness and the presentation of the food. Great job. Great people will definitely recommend and will most definitely use again. More...

Our experience with Mel and "Francesca's Catering & Cakes" was exceptional! The food, especially the chicken, was absolutely delicious - flavourful, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. Mel's professionalism and passion for catering were evident in every dish. She made our event memorable with her culinary skills. Highly recommend for anyone looking for top-notch catering services!

Listen! I cannot recommend Francescas Catering and cakes highly enough! Ideal for that special event.
I have used them for my daughter's 30th (100 people) and my 65th (125 people) birthday parties, last year and this. Food buffet quality is excellent, as is the variety. Service is great, so cheerful and positive and important details are remembered and very well looked after. Decor ,including balloon arches, chair covers, table and room decorations, is fabulous, creating a classy, themed feel to what were important events. Can do cake, bar/welcome drinks etc and they did videos of our evenings too.
Found Melissia on BARK ,when another caterer let me down - what a godsend :-)

Mel made a delicious birthday cake for my son. I got endless compliments both for the design and the AMAZING taste. Multiple parents have asked me for her contact details and I was more than happy to share as both the design and taste were extravagant.

I've ordered the catering for different shootings. Food is cheap and meets the small budget I have on short film. Crew and cast were always happy with the meal, especially with the final cake. The meal is a main course, plus fruit and cake. I'd recommend it. More...

An absolutely beautiful and perfect cake once again! Mellisia went above and beyond my very OCD brief and my daughter's Frozen cake and cupcakes were not only beautiful (I nearly cried it looked so magical) but also were oh so delicious and fluffy. The kids demolished the cupcakes before the actual happy birthday singing... So did the grandmas. Lol More...

I am so pleased we found Francesca catering and cakes. They will now be our go to for any functions we organise. I love how efficient Milissia is and her attention to detail. What’s also great is this family business can cater for all of your party requirements, food decorations cake djs and photographers, nothing seems to be unachievable Mel is a brilliant party planner. The decorations were fantastic and the banners we had were a wonderful touch. I cannot believe how many extras Milissia added for us to make our sons day super special. The cake not only looked amazing but tasted great too and the Caribbean food was sensational all the guests were extremely happy and very full for my sons 1st birthday & christening celebrations. I remember reading the reviews before we booked thinking surely these are too good to be true, so the tasting menu we booked was a wonderful introduction to Mel and her delicious food.
Thank you Milissia and team you will be seeing us again soon

I recently had the pleasure of using Francescas Catering & Cakes for an event, and I must say, the experience was fantastic. From the very beginning, the communication was excellent. Francesca was prompt in responding to my inquiries and was very accommodating in tailoring the menu to my specific requests.

On the day of the event, the food was exactly what I had requested, and even more. Not only was it delicious, but there was also an extra touch that exceeded my expectations. Francesca went above and beyond by providing additional dishes and treats, which was a pleasant surprise for all the guests.

What really stood out to me was the personal touch in the service. Francesca and her team were attentive, friendly, and made sure that everyone's needs were met. They were professional yet approachable, making the whole experience feel warm and welcoming.

I highly recommend Francescas Catering & Cakes for any event or occasion. The communication, the food, and the service were all exceptional. I will definitely be using their services again in the future.

This is the second time in 4 months that I have had the pleasure of commissioning Francesca's Catering to provide a buffet for an event at short notice. Milissia was ever the professional and when I contacted her, quickly responded with a 'yes, can do' attitude. I informed her of my budget and she put together a tasty mix of meat,
veg and vegan foods. This included a selection of samosas, spring rolls, tempura prawns, jollof rice, chick pea curry, and vol au vents amongst other delights. There was ample amounts as she never scrimps on her portions. Her sister Debbie and Son delivered everything as requested in good time, fresh and well presented. Milissia also provided a delicious Sponge Cake. Next time I'll definitely include some desserts. There were several requests for her details, so hopefully there will be other work. I will definitely be in touch next year for my Mother's 90th!! Many thanks Josey.

We will definitely use them again, I highly recommend their services!
