Peter and his team did a brilliant job catering for a party for 70 people at our house. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food—it was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff were professional and attentive, ensuring everything ran smoothly. Plus, they kept the space tidy as they went and even ran the bar, which was a great bonus. I’d highly recommend Peter and his team, they made our night truly memorable! More...

Peter catered for a 70th birthday barbecue at the end of August, and we couldn't be more impressed. From start to finish, they delivered an exceptional experience. The food was absolutely delicious—everything from the perfectly grilled meats to the fresh sides was a hit with our guests. Would recommend for any event! More...

Highly capable, was on top of all the special dietary requirements. Great food which was commented on by many guests. Was wonderful to be able to completely forget about catering all night, safe in the knowledge that "it was just being dealt with". Friendly, professional staff

Last night I had a party for 86 guests. Peter and his team were fantastic. It was a smooth operation that seemed to happen like magic. We had canapés with our champagne and then a fabulous barbecue with steak, prawns, salmon, chicken skewers, burgers and sausages. All delicious! Peter stuck tightly to the timings discussed and all the guests thought it was incredible. There were a range of delicious salads and those with special dietary requirements were all provided with alternatives. We then had some delicious puddings. Couldn’t fault the service. They served drinks and food and tidied behind them. It was seamless. I would definitely use Peter and his team again and highly recommend them. Many guests have commented on how great they were and how good the food was. More...

Peter was very efficient and caring..he provided an excellent menu with many interesting choices including a vegetarian option, all of which looked very appetising including lots of wonderful desserts.
He catered for 50 but there was lots for seconds and thirds for the hungry . Many friends told me it was the best summer buffet they had ever seen or experienced.
Peter Stern made a very happy occasion perfect.

Peter did a sit down lunch at my house for 20 people on Friday. Everything ran completely perfectly from Peter and his lovely assistant Joy, from start to finish they were so organised and food was perfect, I would highly recommend Peter, for his lovely menu choices, and his pure professionalism from start to finish, and the kitchen was left immaculate.
Highly recommended.
Chris Earnshaw
The service provided by Peter was exceptional from the very start of our discussions to the event itself. Peter gave good initial advice and was very accommodating of changes as the date approached.
He was extremely easy to communicate with and responded very promptly to any questions. The food itself was perfect and of excellent quality. His team on the day was also exceptional. They were courteous and efficient from the moment they arrived to the last clearing up. Many of our guests commented on the delicious food and friendly service. Overall, it was a first class experience provided by a professional. Many thanks to Peter and the team for making our party so special.

Peter catered for a 30th birthday party at our home last weekend and the food and service was excellent. Peter is so reliable, helpful, and efficient and his team were so lovely.

We have been using Peter for both regular family dining at home, for 20person dinner parties, and for larger 30+ family gatherings, for over a year now. The food is really excellent (as one would hope) but beyond this we hugely value his menu planning ideas, punctuality, reliability, not to mention he’s just all round nice guy we like working with.

Peter was great in helping me to arrange a 30th birthday casino party in our home. His advice was spot on, from how to set up the house, the hire of glassware, the timings and, of course, the menu. He and his team were so efficient and polite and our guests were made to feel very special. And the food.....well it was absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend Peter. More...

Peter was the first to contact me after my initial enquiry for a reception following a funeral. He agreed to meet me at home, where we discussed requirements and possibilities.
I had a quote by return and, after securing a venue and agreeing a provisional cost, I contracted him and paid a deposit.
Peter was very proactive in arranging the event, including inspecting the venue. The event itself was everything I had wished for; friendly staff, freshly prepared food, generously filled and plenty to drink. Feedback from the guests were enthusiastic, especially for the scones and fruit kebabs. Peter is certainly top of my list for any future catering requirements I may need.

Liz Bissett
Peter recently catered the small wake after my mother's funeral. From an initial meeting a week before the funeral to the end of the wake, he was excellent. He was sensitive to our situation, flexible, catered for various food allergies and the range of finger food was fabulous. He was efficient, very unobtrusive during the wake, arrived and left on time and there was no trace he'd even been here! We highly recommend him - he made an extremely difficult day much less stressful. More...
Sophie Bloch
All was very smooth, food was great, staff very helpful and it all made the event very easy.
Tracy-Ann Neville
Peter catered our daughter’s wedding. It was never going to be an easy job to feed 160 people to a sit down meal in a marquee in our garden but he did it to perfection. Everybody commented that the meal was restaurant quality and it was delivered and cleared away quickly and professionally. He also provided bowls of curry for 180 in the evening. From the beginning of the planning process to the moment the last bowl was cleared away Peter was superb - listening to what we wanted, advising on what was feasible, suggesting alternatives where appropriate but always remembering that ultimately the choice was ours. I would not hesitate to use Peter Stearn catering again. More...
Jackie Gregory
Catering
Highly recommended. I wanted a caterer for my 60th Birthday Party. From first contact with Peter, through to choosing the menu, the 'at home tasting' and then the actual event, excellent service throughout. We had 70 guests, the canapes were extremely tasty, catering for vegetarian as well as allergies, the savouries were severed hot and the deserts was a dream. The staff were brilliant, two chefs preparing the food and 3 serving, all so friendly. We handed over the kitchen clean and it was handed back spotless. Our guests constantly commented on the amazing food and several took his card for their own events. More...

Claire Mackenzie
Peter and Tania were fabulous, the food was fantastic and they were lovely. We would highly recommend them. They came into our garden with all their own kit and cooked dinner for 15 of us for an 80th birthday party. Everyone from the 8 to 80 year olds loved the food. More...

Peter and his team did such a wonderful job catering for our country garden wedding reception! So many guests commented on how nice the food was and how much there was to eat. Peter was able to cater for a number of dietary requirements among our guests and adapted things when needed on the day. His staff were very efficient and polite. Everything was left tidy and organised. Thank you for helping our day to be special and to go so smoothly! More...
Anne Land
Working with Peter on our requirements for a dinner party has been very easy and straight forward. He came to see us to discuss our requirements and gave us some suggestions.
We agreed our menu. Since then Peter and i were in contact by email to answer queries. He arrived on time and all the preparation and cooking was done without any questions, leaving me to be able to enjoy the evening with my guests. To my delight our drinks were also served to us (something I hadn’t anticipated). The food was excellent
We had a lovely evening and i would have no hesitation in using Peter Stern Catering again in the future or recommending him to others

Peter and his fantastic team catered my husband’s 70th birthday party last night.
The food was delicious; Peter pleased the carnivores, pescatarians, vegetarians and nut free guests with ease and care.
The staff were efficient and helpful; they were ever present without being intrusive and they cleared up superbly. It was the first time I have had a party catered and it definitely won’t be the last. I felt confident in Peter and the team’s skill at taking on all the work and allowing me to enjoy the party. It was fantastic not having to spend today washing up and cleaning!
The guests commented on the delicious food and friendly staff.
I am sure that I will ask Peter to cater on another occasion. Thank you
