Emma and her team did an amazing job. It was a tough day for the family, being the funeral of our beautiful, young daughter in law. Emma was so thoughtful and helpful from the very beginning. Planning an appropriate menu and then serving with kindness on the day. All done for us. A varied menu to cover different dietary needs. Many guests also complimented the team. Thank you so much.

Emma and her team were delightful and very supportive. My husband passed away suddenly so i had to organize food for the funeral.
The food was beautifully displayed and everyone said it all tasted great, I had a mixture of hot and cold food. On the day Emma and her team looked after everything i did not have to do anything which helped as it was a very sad day.

Catering
Village Loaf were excellent. We used them to cater for a wake, and had to guess at how many people would come, so we over-catered and had lots left over, but that was our fault not theirs. They did a great job, and the whole event went without a hitch. We couldn't have done it without them. More...

I thought I had sent a review straightaway but I find no record of having actually sent it, so my apologies for this, especially as I was very happy with everything that "Village Loaf" did for me, especially in the quality of the buffet, commented on by many of the 35 guests, and by their willingness to adapt to the particular circumstances my celebration involved and their general helpfulness

It was pleasure to work with Village Loaf. I commend for their efficiency and the kind way they dealt with the various challenges that the catering required and for the quality of the food they provided, a fact that many of my guests noted. It all helped to make it a stress free and most enjoyable occasion for me More...

Emma provided a hot meal for 30 people for a wake with only a weeks notice. Communication with Emma was great and she was very helpful with menu suggestions.
She provide a meal of a choice of chicken supreme or cottage pie. She also provided a vegetarian cottage pie. The meal was accompanied with plenty of well cooked vegetables and new potatoes. A desert of cheesecake or chocolate fudge cake with cream was also available. The pricing of the food was also very reasonable.
The food was stored in heated trays and stayed hot for well over an hour while people had drinks and got settled before eating.
The food was all fresh, homemade and delicious, it was enjoyed by all.
Thank you Emma and Team.

I was organising a surprise meal at home for my husband's 70th birthday and had invited many family members. Emma was quick to respond to my email and understood totally the kind of spread we were looking for. She provided a really good choice of menu and turned up on the day fully equipped and ready to lay out a range of hot and cold dishes. The food was absolutely delicious, made from fresh ingredients, and there was plenty of it. I would most definitely use Emma's services again. Thank you, Emma! More...

What’s your signature dish?
too many to mention ! I have been told our cakes are to die for , Lemon drizzle , and carrot cake firm favorites . also the parsley & thyme scotch eggs are always a winner !
How do you go about creating the perfect menu for your clients?
I like to find out as much detail as possible about the event so that I can provide the client with exactly what they are looking for ,often they might not be sure exactly what they are looking for so the more information we have we can guide them and help to ensure they are happy with the service they have chosen .
What do you love most about your job?
I love the variety , and the different people we meet and knowing that we have helped to make someones day special whether its a birthday , wedding etc.
