I had to order a cake that was free from a lot of ingredients due to the 1 year olds allergies. I was a bit worried that the cake wouldn’t taste too good. However everyone really enjoyed it. I found it a very tasty cake. More...

Milissia and the team catered for a bbq at my house recently. They were easy to communicate with and the food was great and really good value. Would definitely use them again
Karen Rawson
Milissia and her team were so professional, efficient and timely. The food was delicious and many commented about the taste and variety of food in the cold buffet and hot supper.
The clean up and get out were seamless.
Thank you so much
Would highly recommend.

We hired Milissia’s catering team for our son’s 18th birthday party, and they completely blew us away! From start to finish, the experience was seamless and professional.
The food was beyond delicious — tender BBQ meats, perfectly seasoned sides, and everything served fresh and hot. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the spicy sausages.
Milissia and her team were friendly, organized, and attentive to every detail. They set everything up beautifully, kept the food flowing, and made sure everyone was happy and full. It felt more like having family take care of us than just a catering service.
Milissia helped make it unforgettable. I cannot recommend her team enough — we’ll definitely be booking again for future events!
Thank you so much, Milissia!

Friendly team who turned up on time and delivered exactly what we ordered. The food was typical BBQ fare—nothing fancy, but tasty and perfect for a garden BBQ.
Service was good, and they cleared up on time, which was appreciated.
Tip: Put something under the BBQ to catch any fat drips, just to protect your patio or lawn.
Overall, a solid experience. I'd recommend them for casual outdoor events!

We hired for a Christening. Food was lovely and Milissia and staff were so helpful. Everything was set up and cooked on time and there was plenty to go around.
The cake was fantastic too. Completely took the stress out of organising food for our event.
Milissia was also extremely easy to communicate with throughout the planning and organisation which was a big plus.
Thank you 😊

Milissia was really helpful and knew exactly what I wanted from the start - a very specific request - a sea turtle-shaped cake for my adult brother who just loves sea turtles. The cake is just beautiful - realistic enough to make you draw breath in wonder - but not quite so realistic that you don’t want to eat the cake! Really pleased and would recommend Milissia to anyone looking for a very special cake! More...

Worked with Milissia for a short film shoot and the crew had never been so happy with the food! We're used to cold sandwiches, so the nice hot meals were a thoroughly enjoyed change of pace and the cakes that accompanied them will definitely be talked about for a long time! 10/10 service :)

I was very impressed with how quick Milissia was to respond to messages. She quickly picked up what we wanted, & absolutely delivered. While she was quite a distance away, she arranged for the cake to be delivered & everything happened when she said it would. The cake was really nice - very lemony (as requested) & really prettily decorated. We had asked for elephants on the top which turned out to be a bit too heavy after a few days, but the cake was gorgeous. Really pleased overall & would recommend. More...

Horrible, please never order from this company. This is not even real bakery. Cake was delivered by some dodgy looking people, in horrible packaging. Cake looked like it was baked by 5 year old, smell coming from the cake was disgusting. Cake was nothing like on the pictures they shown. I had to throw the cake away and purchased one from Waitrose’s as I don’t want any of the kids to have food poisoning. The cake base was dirty, it was not new. I paid 125£ for the cake, it it a real scam. Makes me wonder how bark checks the reviews and grants platinum rating. Lady who did the cake was Milissia Hall. If you want nice cake please avoid ordering from her, as cake she delivered looked disgusting. More...

I arranged a spread of food for a family funeral from Milissia. She talked me through all my options & was extremely patient.
I was worried about the food not being enough, but I had nothing to worry about, it was more than generous & so tasty too…especially the samasoas! Many people asked what catering company do I use? So it was thoroughly enjoyed by all!
Many thanks Milissia 😀

We recently used Francesca's Catering & Cakes for our seniors Tea Party, and we couldn’t be happier with the service provided.
They delivered a delicious assortment of sandwiches, vol-au-vents, spring rolls, bagels, cheese and biscuits all beautifully presented and fresh. The homemade scones with clotted cream and jam were a particular highlight and went perfectly with the teas and coffee they also provided. Plates, napkins and cutlery were provided.
They arrived on time and were highly professional. Our guests were very impressed with the quality and variety provided.
Overall, we were delighted with the service and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again for future events. Highly recommended! Thank you Milissia.

This is my third occasion of using Francesca's Catering Cakes. This time for a Wake with approx 150+ people. Mel (the owner and Chef) was in regular contact to ensure that she understood what was required and delivered to the brief. Both Mel and her team are highly professional, set high standards and do not disappoint. We had an extensive buffet menu and there was lots to sample. Great food and amazing dessert. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mel's services and will no doubt be back for more (the best accolade for a Chef). Well done in making my Mother's final farewell a special, smooth and classy event. Hoping your business continues to thrive. Josey More...

I ordered a cake for 70 people for my friend (who breeds horses) for her 75th birthday. The cake was huge and wonderfully decorated with horses, fences, grass and even a feeding trough. What's more everyone agreed it was one of the most delicious cakes we have ever tasted. My friend was thrilled so thank you Melissa for making her day so special. More...

The most fantastic catering service. Francesca, Milissia and Frank organised the most beautiful multi-course Christmas meal for my private Christmas event at home for 20 people. The food was insanely good, and they set up in 30 mins to ensure all was ready to be served, warmers ready and food food to go. I couldn’t have asked for a better service. We will be coming to them once more !! By the way, 100% recommend hiring their warmers to keep the food warm, it was a must that we did not know we needed until seeing their usefulness. Thank you so much team!! More...

Francescas Catering & Cakes, designed & delivered a beautiful cake for my daughter’s 18th birthday. To say it was nice is an understatement.
It was truly divine, everyone was impressed with the quality & taste. I will definitely be ordering from them again in the future. Great baker, great communication & delivery was included, which I found a blessings. I’m not to well at the moment & I felt confident in their ability to get the job done. A***** service.

After posting my request I was sent a message only 15 minutes later asking me to view their Instagram page where I was able to find photos and contact information for the baker.
I rang them and told them I needed the cake in only 4 days time. My order was accepted and a reasonable price agreed. We used WhatsApp to ask and answer questions about some details for the cake such as type of icing and bespoke message. The cake was delivered on the agreed date in good time with advice to put it the fridge to prevent it from melting which worked well. Everyone who tasted it said how “moist” and “delicious” it was. It looked great and the icing was very good too. The size was perfect and we had plenty for the party plus enough to send back to some friends that couldn’t make to the party.
So thank you so much for your excellent cake, made at short notice and with great customer delivery service.
Best wishes
James
