Julia and her team were friendly and efficient but above all the food tasted amazing both nights. From first contact to the meals we were served, Julia, Kelly and the team were organised and discussed our options in detail. They were patient as our menu developed overtime. Just fabulous. More...

We hired Julia for a private find last month and can’t recommend her enough! A lovely Lebanese inspired menu, the tagine really tasty, and her Eastern mess - a Middle Eastern take on an Eton mess - was divine. Thank you Julia!

Absolutely delicious. We asked for Purple Plum to use their judgment in deciding what to serve at a party for around 20 -- vegetarian being the only main stipulation -- and it was just excellent. Amazing halloumi and aubergine fritters to start followed by a kind of mushroom pot pie that was so rich, everyone was convinced it was meat. Julia and Kate are such a pleasure to work with, always friendly, warm and easy-going. I have also used them for a work event -- a retreat for 40 for which they catered every meal over two days/two nights -- and everything was completely delicious then, too. More...

Thank you for the best moussaka I have ever tasted! Julia was incredibly obliging at rather short notice for a dinner party I hosted. She made a delicious array of vegetarian and meat platters, fresh salads - we were so full and had plenty leftover for Sunday lunch too. Presentation was lovely and everything was delivered with a smile. Hope to enjoy your food again soon - thank you! More...

A very belated thank you for making our wedding so special and cooking the most delicious supper. So many people commented on the food and it really was delicious.
The chicken and the dauphinoise were a triumph and the veg were so good as well. As for the pudding....I literally inhaled mine. Everything looked so beautiful too.
You were a dream to work with and made the whole experience stress free from start to end.

NW Brown Group Ltd has engaged Purple Plum since September for their business lunches in Norwich and Julia has definitely taken the quality of catering up a notch. Guests compliment on the delicious home cooked food as a recipe for success and her portions are generous. We have also tried the tasty canapes and happily recommended her services for a recent buffet lunch. So nice to have that confidence plus the front of house service staff are experienced, pleasant and helpful. We will definitely continue working together in 2017. More...

Just want to give you a big thank you for catering at our wedding over the weekend.
You and your staff are extremely professional and we love your style & presentation, which fitted in with what we had imagined.
Overall It was a fantastic weekend and we didn't want it to end, many of our guests complimented on your food and loved the crates which contained the starters.

Julia and team catered for our outdoor wedding in August 2016. As soon as we'd had the testing session, we just relaxed as the food was fab and Julia had so many good ideas based on listening to what sort of things we liked.
We had lamb/feta stuffed squash as mains and many lovely, creative salads which took account of all the various restrictions (nuts, gluten, citrus.... Julia even prepared a bespoke adapted dish for one guest where necessary) in our party. We had loads of kids attending and seated them separately with a simplified children's menu which worked well, particularly the brownies!
We had some last minute additions to the guest list and all was fine. Loads of compliments on the food including the evening buffet of hams, cheeses etc. We had the most relaxed, brilliant day and the food was a significant part of that - thank you all!
