Marie-Clare Cooks

Marie - Clare was wonderful throughout the entire planning and delivery of our event. She was communicative and reliable with information and timings.

The food was delicious and everything was presented very well.

I would highly recommend Marie-Clare Cooks for your event or party! More...

Marie-Clare catered for my husband’s 50th birthday. An afternoon tea at our house for family followed by an evening buffet for 70 friends & family at a venue.
Marie-Clare provided a menu within agreed budget and tweaked for dietary requirements. Food was delicious and the serving term brilliant. Would highly recommend! More...

Very professional. I had no worries right from the start. There were many dietary requirements among the guests and these were all deliciously catered for.

She provided a full service with preparation, service and clearing so that we were free to focus on our funeral. The food was interesting and different.

Marie Clare and her team are amazing. They catered for my mums funeral. The food was fabulous and plenty of it, they catered for all allergies and her team went above and beyond to make sure everyone had food and drinks. I couldn’t recommend them enough xx More...

We used Marie-Clare Cooks for the first time on Saturday night. Throughout the process before the party Marie-Clare was a joy to deal with - we had a few telephone calls and I found her to be knowledgeable, professional and amenable. All were good suggestions and the vegan selection was excellent too. The food was spectacular and everyone really enjoyed it and many commented on how delicious it was. All three of the team worked so very hard to make our party a success. Particular thanks to Sam for doing a sterling job hunting people down in both the garden and the house to make sure everyone was properly fed even during the rain. The team also left the kitchen area spotless, glasses run through the dishwasher and generally cleared up so effectively- it really did make Sunday morning much easier. More...

We thoroughly enjoyed the experience of having Marie-Clare cater for my 70th birthday party at home. The food was excellent and her colleagues that helped out were first rate.

I have just had two events catered by Marie-Clare Cooks and everything was excellent, from the planning, the service to the quality of the food. Highly recommended.

Marie-Clare and her assistant chef /waiter/ washer up were first class when they recently caterers for my birthday party. The food they provided was delicious and they were very charming and helpful . Would definitely recommend her services . More...

Fantastic food and service. Marie-Clare created a personalised menu for us which was perfectly fitting for the occasion. Very friendly service and they cleared away beautifully. Would definitely recommend More...

Incredible and flexible service, gorgeous menu !!! Wonderful professional service.

We all really enjoyed the tasty canapés that Marie Clare cooked for our reception. The service was friendly, discreet and professional. The drinks and presentation were excellent. A big thank you for stepping in and saving us from sandwiches ! More...

Marie-Clare and her team did a great, professional join at our engagement party. Food and service both excellent.

While visiting the UK from Australia, I wanted to host a party for 26 guests with family and friends and needed a caterer’s help. Marie-Clare was brilliant. She took care to understand what I wanted and created a menu to suit my guests and my own likes and dietary needs. On the day, she and her two staff were professional and super-efficient. The canapes went down a treat and the buffet dinner was delicious home cooking that all my guests enjoyed. Marie-Clare and her team looked after everyone attentively though unobtrusively. At the end of the evening, when they wrapped up to go, the kitchen was so tidy, it was hard to imagine they had even been there.
Thank you, Marie-Clare! More...

Marie-Claire Cooks catered our family Christmas party. The food was delicious. Proper freshly cooked food. The service was wonderful. We’d be happy to recommend them to anyone. Thank you Marie-Claire. More...

I booked Marie-Clare for a birthday party on 8th January. All my 25 guests thought the food was delicious and the service was excellent. Marie-Clare and her assistant were hands on throughout the evening and even stayed to serve my birthday cake, which was not on her schedule. Her friendly and professional service helped to make the evening a great success and I have no hesitation in highly recommending Marie-Clare Cooks. More...

Incredible amazing experience with a very experienced capable caring caterer ...delicious food ,and presentation combined with impeccable service . ..all our expectations delivered and because of this my Christmas party was great fun and a huge success Thank you and see you same time next year !

Working with Marie-Clare Cooks was a dream, from first contact to the actual event. Both Marie-Clare and her two young staff on the night were very professional.
If you are looking for someone to cater at your party / function I would highly recommend Marie-Clare Cooks More...

Thank you so much for providing such wonderful service at our birthday party. Everything went without a hitch thanks to you and your team, and all our guests were very impressed with the attentive service.
You had many compliments for all the dishes in the delicious menu and everyone wanted seconds!
The kitchen was left spotless, and it was a lovely surprise to see the card and gift you left behind. More...

Following on from earlier review the service was Five Star.

Marie-Claire catered for our summer party for 50.
Communication and planning beforehand was great - she was super helpful and patient.
On the day she and her team of helpers did a brilliant job allowing us to relax and enjoy our party. The food was excellent and many guests remarked how good it was.
With the party in full swing they then all quietly packed up cleaned up and slipped out.
Super food and super service. Thank you! More...

Marie Claire provides excellent catering for my birthday party. She is highly professional, flexible on menus and her team provided a seamless service on the night, serving food and drink just when needed. Highly recommended!!

I contacted Marie Clare after searching on Bark for caterers for a party I was hosting at home. Marie Clare provided excellent nibbles, serving staff and gave each guest individual attention. She and her team did a professional job all the way through and lifted all the pressure of entertaining from us as hosts. I would rate her highly and recommend her without hesitation to anyone else looking for a responsible caterer. More...

Marie Claire was wonderful. She did the catering for my mother’s funeral and was quietly competent and efficient at what was a very difficult time for me. The venue wasn’t easy for caterers, with limited space and facilities but she was a consummate professional and dealt with the problems easily. Would highly recommend. More...

Marie-Clare and her team ran our 30th Wedding Anniversary dinner quietly and efficiently. She and her staff were lovely to have in our house - we could trust them completely. I particularly loved being served drinks and aperatifs just before our guests arrived - that was a lovely touch. I was also wonderful to have the kitchen left immaculately clean. We were able to enjoy the company of our special guests, and relax. Thank you to you and your team. More...

Highly professional service, excellent food and understanding of our needs and circumstances.

You could not chose a better caterer than Marie Clare!! From first contact to finished event, she was impeccable. She went above and beyond, visiting the venue in advance and adapting the menu at short notice. I cannot recommend her highly enough. More...

Marie Clare, and her lovely girls, arrived on time, set up, served and cleared away with the minimum of fuss for my gathering. She is the ultimate professional. The food is very good too.
She made the afternoon pass without stress for everyone involved. I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again. Top class More...

Excellent service from the initial chat about requirements through to the service and food on the day!

Marie-Clare was great to work with from the start, listening to my requests and responding with options leading to exactly what we required. She took care of liaising with the venue, setting up, service and clearing up which was a huge weight off, particularly as it was a memorial service and an emotional time.
The food was delicious and plentiful and her team were great. Marie-Clare made the whole experience feel very personal, she genuinely cares about the service provided and was very kind particularly in response to the nature of the event.
I would highly recommend. Thank you! More...

Excellent food and service, friendly staff, great to deal with. Happy to recommend.

Marie-Clare and her team made my husband’s 60th birthday party. Her food, the service provided by her team and her no fuss approach made for a special evening. Every single thank you letter commented upon what a great job they did and the quality of the food. They left the house and our kitchen immaculate and were even kind enough to bring a card and presents for my husband. I will definitely use them again. More...

A great service from beginning to end. From discussing the menu to the execution on the day. Starting with the food, exactly what was required and with some winning innovative thoughts into flavours and combinations. At the party the team were delightful but completely unobtrusive. If you’re looking for a caterer - MC is your woman! More...

She was extremely helpful, kind, cheerful and wonderfully flexible. She catered for my husband's funeral reception, difficult as I had no idea how many people would be there. I don't actually know how many folk were there but I do know that the food was delicious and plentiful and served with smiles and graciousness. I recommend Marie_Clare Cooks very warmly. More...

She is delightful, professional, reassuring and delivered as she had promised. She initially visited us at home to review the possibilities, what would be needed, and on the day she texted me to reassure me "do not lift a finger". Just lovely to have her and her team cater for a vey special occasion - my Mother's funeral gathering for the immediate family members only. She added a personal touch by leaving bunches of flowers, a gift of one of the products she sells in her shop and a sympathy card. Such a kind and personal touch. More...

We needed caterers at short notice and Marie-Clare came to our rescue. Our initial email correspondence was very professional and supportive of our needs. We were given an excellent range menu choices and welcomed Marie-Clare's guidance on what would work well together for our event. Marie-Clare personally visited the venue at short notice and was exceptionally skilled in sorting out the ideal positions for the food and beverage stations. When she returned with her team on the day of the event she organised everything so the hospitality worked like clockwork. The most amazing thing, however, was the quality of the food; every guest, without exception, said it was the best they had ever tasted. The manager of the venue was so impressed she said she would definitely be recommending Marie-Clare Cooks to other hirers. More...

A good experience overall. Lovely lady to deal with, delicious food.

Prompt, efficient service. Delicious menu and all tasted fantastic.

Marie-Clare catered our Church's Couples Day out. It was a great success and the food was delicious and varied. There was something for everyone's taste, though we all ate everything! She is very professional, efficient, friendly. The service was well organized and dishes well presented. Thanks for an amazing afternoon. More...

Delicious meal home made, tasting Marie Clare food is like travelling around the world , her inspiration is worldwide, and I know this has to do with family inspiration, Spanish,Indian French Portuguese . .. and this opening her creativity in the kitchen even to other countries ... and all this for our pleasure to taste and discover her delicious food

Marie-Clare, was delightful to work with and rose to the challenge of creating a tasty menu that fulfilled all the dietary requirements of our wedding party. She and her team were super efficient. We would recommend her without hesitation. More...

Marie Claire and her lovely team provided delicious food and wonderful, attentive service making our special day really memorable. Many thanks to them and highly recommended. More...

Marie- Claire was so friendly and helpful. Owing to Covid my party was postponed and rearranged multiple times with changing format and guest numbers. In the end we did it without service to keep within the 30 that we were allowed outside but Marie Claire brought over the food all pre-prepared on platters. We had canapés and cold buffet salad and the food was delicious. I would thoroughly recommend her and hope we can use her for another party (with service) soon! More...

We had a midday 'Celebration of the life of a Loved One' event to run on a Sunday at a remote location in Berkshire in the garden of a country house where we had little access to the usual facilities required by a caterer. Marie-Clare took this on without any fuss.

Marie-Clare understood the brief and was easy to work with and asked all the right questions including many you may not even have thought of. She provided some fantastic traditional and different food choices for the canapes sweet and savoury, tailored specifically for us including several gluten/dairy free and vegetarian choices. The food was delicious and very generous portions.

The mini raspberry and white chocolate cheesecakes and the choc brownies were amazing!

Marie-Clare and her staff were friendly and courteous to all our guests and ensured all had plentiful food and drinks served. They cleared up carefully before leaving and it was a delight to work with her and her team. All was taken care of and we didn’t have to worry about anything.

Marie-Clare was a delight to work with and I would thoroughly recommend them. It is refreshing to find a professional caterer locally. More...

From start to finish, Marie-Clare was amazing to work with! I explained to her what the occasion was (my 50th!), the setting and the budget and she catered accordingly and did the most incredible job. Food was perfect, absolutely delicious, portions very generous and the service was outstanding! I would most definitely recommend Marie-Clare to anyone and will certainly use her services again! Brilliant! More...
