We used Nigel and his team for my sister's hen do at a country house and it was superb. Everyone loved the food and having the waiter service and all the cleaning up done was just amazing. Really made it an extra special weekend. Nigel was able to cater for my vegan option and was very flexible with the menu. Would definitely use again if in the area More...

Nigel was absolutely superb. The quality of the food and his professionalism throughout was outstanding. He works with high quality ingredients and his skill in preparing them is to the standard of a high end restaurant. A bespoke 3 course dinner was created for a birthday celebration and everything was taken care of. The kitchen was spotless afterwards. I would highly recommend the Pickled Crab and will be using them again More...

The service and food received from Nigel was exquisite. He made the whole customer journey from booking through to the superb food served on the evening seem completely effortless. I cannot rate his food or service high enough and will certainly be recommending him to friends and family. Thank you very much Nigel for making my husband's 60th birthday so memorable. More...

We had the most wonderful evening with Nigel. Not only was the food incredible, but the attention to detail and presentation was absolutely super. Communication leading up to the event was excellent too. We had dietary requirements in our group and Nigel catered for everyone. His wealth of culinary experience and knowledge certainly shows. Thank you! More...

Nigel and his team catered our lunch party in our garden. We asked him to prepare a variety of healthy salads. He did an amazing job with this. The food was great, we and our guest were more than happy. Nigel was even prepared for the bad weather and brought a gazebo. More...

Poor evening. Nice venue and waitresses but at £79 per person the food was very below par. 1.5 mini canapés each were fine, salmon/trout starter light but fairly tasteless and the seafood boil main was just awful. Overflowing bowl of warm, pretty tasteless and messed about seafood. All unattractive and just didn’t taste very nice. I was extremely disappointed. My husband had the beef and said it was “just ok” More...

From start to finish Nigel has been amazing, he cooked a perfect BBQ for a birthday party. He explained his menu extremely well, very receptive to changes we asked for. Met all dietary requirements without any questions. Himself and his staff worked tirelessly and professionally. So much so you would have never guessed they were even there, they even cleaned and washed up our plates and cutlery we provided. Food was superb tasty. Do recommend and will be using again! More...

I can't rate Nigel highly enough. We had a Dinner Party with our 5 children & partners which Nigel catered for. Everything was very professional from the initial contact to the catering on the day. The food was excellent, especially the canapes. The kitchen was left immaculately clean, and Sophie, the waitress, quietly & efficiently carried out her duties. Definitely a 5* experience all round. Thank you Nigel. More...

Nigel was brilliant from initial contact, helping us choose the menu and assisting with dietary requirements. On the day he arrived promptly and his service throughout the evening was exceptional. Every course from canapes to dessert were delicious. We were in a lovely holiday rental where we had open kitchen dining and we were able to enjoy Nigel's preparation and service all evening, which was excellent! This was a special occasion for our family and Nigel certainly did not disappoint. More...

Nigel cooked for us for a special birthday. We were hosting 10 guests of whom 2 were vegetarian. Agreeing on the menu was very quick with a few email exchanges and all was agreed. Nigel was punctual on the night and very professional but equally very friendly. The food was great and well presented. I don't think I've eaten a piece of beef so well cooked in a long time We were certainly impressed and would use him again without hesitation. More...

We had a fabulous evening last night dining at the Pickled Crab Supper Club. It was my birthday so I got to choose how to spend the evening and I was not disappointed! The menu was divine, everything was perfectly prepared, cooked and served. The venue at #75 Leamington was just the ticket. It has been a long time since we have enjoyed a meal out like this, we are so often disappointed. Thank you, Nigel, and all your team for making my birthday a night to remember. We look forward to our next experience! More...

Went in last Weds for a 3 course dinner with my friend. Wow what can I say? For only £25 each we got a fresh homemade loaf, squid in chilli and garlic, fresh salmon and tuna tacos, followed by beautifully cooked local Duck Breast. I couldn't manage a pudding but Nigel insisted and I wolfed the chocolate dessert down. Lovely atmosphere and attentive staff. Nigel chose the menu, and it was perfect! Highly recommend. I have already booked to return Parking: Plenty of parking More...
