Review of Penelope Evans Catering

I asked for a list of caterers for my 90th birthday party and Penelope was quick to reply and extremely helpful.

I wanted an informal party of about 35 people in my flat on the Saturday in November nearest to my birthday from 12 -6. Penelope came to view my flat and agreed it was possible to hold the party there as most people would not be there the whole time. I wanted a cold buffet and she produced delicious sandwiches, sausage rolls and scones and a good assortment of small cakes. My brother and sister-in-law gave me the birthday cake which Penelope arranged to have made as an iced fruit cake.

Penelope provided all the necessary serving dishes and small plates, glasses, etc. I provided red and white wine and Penelope provided tea and coffee. She promised they would all be removed unwashed. We agreed a price, which was rather less than I expected.

On the day, Penelope arrived with everything in the morning and with a helper, Jada, who was very pleasant and efficient. Penelope had to go to another function but Jada coped with no fuss and very courteously. All my guests praised her. They were very enthusiastic about the food. There was more than enough.

Penelope said she would come the next day and collect all the dishes, etc, which Jada had put in boxes under the table. She said she would come at 10 and she did. Everything was removed by 10.30.

I cannot recommend Penelope and her catering service highly enough and would use her again without any worry.

Penelope catered a family party for 16 adults and two toddlers. She helped me with the menu, giving suggestions and ideas for what would work well with what. A 5*, 4 course meal that cost less than eating out at a really good restaurant. All the food was beautifully cooked and prepared and delivered effortlessly to our door. I enjoy cooking and entertaining, but had only arrived back from holiday the day before and so we decided to have the party catered. We also had a waitress, supplied by Penelope who was absolutely amazing! She helped to prepare, serve the drinks and food, and effortlessly washed up and kept everything flowing throughout the five hours. If you want the stress lessened, you could not do better than Penelope Evans Catering. More...

Had an excellent experience with Penelope Evans catering a small (< 30 people) celebration of life. She gave us helpful guidance in what to order while also taking into account dietary restrictions and preferences. On the day, she provided staff, kept the tea and coffee topped up, circulated with the drink, and did the clean up. We felt that we were in good hands. All the guests were impressed by the variety, daintiness, and tastiness of the food. We were impressed by the quantity too — no need to worry that we might run short and everyone got to take some home too. More...

Thank you so much and we are so happy that the service and food were to your liking

I chose Penelope Bramall to do the catering for my 60th birthday party.
From the outset, I was impressed with the choice of food on the menus; and can truly say that I was spoiled for choice.
Pre-party, it was as simple as making my choice of canapés and paying a small deposit to secure the booking.
Which left me to choose the champagne and wines from a nearby wine merchant (they were also very good at lending me glasses for the event and providing ice and ice buckets). And to buy fruit juices from a local shop.
Penelope came round once too see my kitchen once before my party; I suppose to make sure that it was going to work well to heat up the various hot canapés. She immediately put me at ease, and I got the sense that she had catered for big parties many times before.
I know it wasn’t part of her brief, but she really reassured me and made me feel confident that my party would be a real success.
I asked Penelope to do the catering for 60 and invited 60 of my friends, from current friends and colleagues, going back to school friends.
Over 50 turned up on the day itself.
On the day, Penelope and her team arrived an hour before the event was due to start as planned, with the food I had chosen.
My champagne and wines had arrived about an hour earlier as planned.
I was left to wait for my friends to arrive, as Penelope and her team didn’t need any help in the kitchen.
The staff Penelope employs are really friendly and super-efficient.
When my guests arrived, they greeted them with a drink; and throughout the afternoon, served them with canapés.
The food never ran out!
Loads of my guests asked me where I found the caterers from.
I’m happy to say that my party was a real success and everybody enjoyed themselves.
There was never any need to feel anxious, as Penelope and her team had all matters well under control.
Penelope is such a lovely person too; a rare mix of efficient and relaxed; in control but not controlling. Nothing seems to cause too much difficulty for her.
She made my party the success that it turned out to be.
I give an absolute 5 star review!

Penelope and her team catered for 20 people at my home. Her service from when we first met through to delivery on the night was exceptional. Penelope is very intuitive, and with her help, we were able to provide a delicious, varied, stylish and well-balanced selection of food from her incredible array of canapés, matched with appropriate bubbles (at her suggestion and which were far better value than the one I was considering). Testament to the quality of her craft is the number of compliments received on her food. It really was pure art and tasted exquisite. Her price point is fair and, for the quality of food provided, is actually exceedingly good value, when compared to other recent experiences. Thank you, Penelope, for being so outstanding and smiling throughout! More...

Penelope Evans Catering wowed our guests on Saturday with an outstanding canape menu which tantalised the taste-buds and provided a feast for the senses. Every dish was delicious and one discerning guest even recognised the blackened cod as being sourced from the same suppliers as used by Nobu. It was not only the food, the professional and friendly manner with which the catering team, under Penelope's expert guidance, worked meant there was not a moment when our guests did not have a drink to hand or the offer of one of the sumptuous savoury or dessert canapes. I cannot recommend Penelope Evans Catering enough - her catering and team were integral to making our 50th birthdays a memorable occasion for ourselves and all of our guests. Thank you! More...
