Caper and Berry came highly recommended, and they didn’t disappoint.From our first enquiry through til after our event the service from everyone we worked with was professional, efficient, effective and warm! Naomi was our first and last point of contact, and she was nothing short of wonderful.The food on the night was exceptional, as was the service. Ollie looked after us and our guests in the most deft and light manner, always on hand, always attentive but never in the way!We cannot recommend the Caper and Berry team more highly. We had THE BEST party, and the C&B team were intrinsic to its success

All we can say is WOW....!!! To the team at Caper & Berry, Tilly, Tristan, Harry and Amanda to name but a few, we were absolutely blown away by the service this company provided. We have had so many comments and feedback from our guests about what a wonderful experience they had at our wedding. So many named the team at the bar who served them over the 2 days and knew exactly what the guests wanted before they even asked.! This professionalism and attention to detail made such a difference to our special day and we cant thank the team at Caper & Berry enough. I can highly recommend Caper & Berry as a 6* company and you would not be disappointed if you instructed their services.Mr & Mrs James DerhamPangbourne02/09/23

Thank you so much to everybody at Caper and Berry for making our dream wedding day come true!I have lost count of how many emails and phone calls I have had with the team at Caper and Berry, communication was excellent right from the start. The food tasting day was amazing- we really loved that! The food is just insanely good. The knowledge and expertise of these guys is second to none! Couldn't recommend more. Thank you so much to everyone involved. and of course, a very big thank you to Ollie for making it all happen on the day. Thank you so, so much!
Freddy Hammond
Thank you for everything that the Caper & Berry team did to make our wedding day so perfect, but especially for all the incredible food and drinks. We have had so many lovely comments from our guests about how the food was the best food they have had at a Wedding, so it couldn't get much better than that! C&B handled everything impeccably, with the rain on the day and not being able to cook and serve as much outside, and frantically moving everything inside! Thank you for all of your epic organisation skills to make sure the day flowed and even with some changes and timings going off, no one would have suspected a thing. The entire experience with C&B from start to finish was just awesome, the tasting is still one of my favourite days! Every person at C&B that we dealt with was lovely and really accommodating and above all just so friendly - exactly what we wanted and the type of company we wanted to work with for our Wedding. It just made the entire experience so special and memorable, so we can't thank you all enough. A special mention to Alistair, our event manager, he was a brilliant through out and a pleasure to work with.

Andy Boyd is a superstar. Andy’s team from Caper & Berry gave us an amazing wedding day with incredible food and top notch service. He is one of a kind and we had 100% trust in him and his team. The food on the day was much better than at our tasting. The service was exemplary. Everyone was so discreet yet whenever you wanted anything it just appeared, with a smart and friendly face! Amazing staffing on the day. However, the admin and sales team from Caper & Berry leading up to the day was unreliable, unresponsive and a real hassle. Once we were handed over to Andy a couple of weeks before the wedding, it all went extremely well.

We would give even more stars if we could…A week on from our wedding, we are still re-living our favourite parts of the day and food and drink really did take centre stage. From the very beginning, Caper and Berry listened attentively to all of our hopes for the day (which, for us, had an Italian influence) and their communication, advice and support were all truly fantastic.We were blown away by the food at our tasting (choosing canapés was incredibly hard as we loved them all!) and so many of our guests commented on how delicious it was, as well as how beautifully presented all of the dishes were.In the build up to our wedding, nothing was too much to ask and we had so much faith in the Caper and Berry team. Their professionalism alongside their friendly and fun presence on the day was something we really appreciated. Alistair, in particular, was simply fantastic.We would highly recommend Caper and Berry to any couples looking for a top quality catering company for their big day - or indeed for any event - and can only say a HUGE thank you to the team!

We had an absolutely phenomenal experience with Caper and Berry, who did the catering and drinks at our recent wedding at Cowdray.We had a fun tasting at their offices to choose the menu, and there were some standout clever canapés and food options. The process went seamlessly and set up was done very efficiently. The food itself was absolutely delicious, and easily as good as a top restaurant.We are both so glad we chose them and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone!
Lester Beckett
Bizarre experience with this company - phoned just before Easter regarding a quote for a wedding in September and had a long chat about requirements etc. and then did not receive any quote. Thinking it an honest mistake I popped in to the business in person and went through the process again - still no quote weeks later.The staff in both cases were pleasant and diligent and I’m left thinking the only explanation is that the company did not want to cater for us and instead of saying so chose to ignore me instead.

This was a difficult review write, because ultimately, Caper & Berry did a lot of things right. The food they provided for our wedding was lovely and beautifully presented. They offer a wide range of vegetarian and vegan options, which is one of the reasons we chose them as the caterers. Our Event Manager for the day, was also lovely: a friendly, professional and calming presence.However, we had a very difficult journey with Caper & Berry. Four months after paying the deposit, we received a formal email explaining that prices were being raised and an updated cost sheet had been attached. The price rise was not insignificant. We therefore felt the need to seek legal advice as to how to respond to this email. Following this, we sent a response outlining that it was neither reasonable nor professional to unilaterally change a contract that had been agreed by both parties a matter of months ago. Within 30 minutes, we got a response saying that this had been a mistake, and this email was intended for bookings older than ours. While I appreciate that mistakes happen, it was very disappointing that no one had reached out sooner to us to let us know. We spent time and energy figuring out what to do and were incredibly worried. After this, we had a call where they apologised and I was assured that we would be treated especially well moving forward.A few months later we were in the period of choosing our menu options and going to the tasting cottage. The tasting cottage was a lovely experience and we really enjoyed our time doing this. However, the turn around time to get an answer from emails was incredibly slow and there were long periods of waiting. It got to the point where I started to strategise with my husband how best we could get a response - whether if we used bullet points they would be more likely to reply, or perhaps tried to phone them at certain points in the day instead. I appreciate that they must be very busy, but even holding emails would have been very much appreciated.After a few months of not having key answers as the wedding approached, I again called to speak with someone about how we could move forward. They did seem sincerely sorry and we were introduced to someone new who would be dealing with us from this point on.A lot of things were then thankfully sorted very quickly, but even with this, there were issues moving forward. For example, we had a ‘final planning’ Zoom meeting booked one evening and no one showed up on the Zoom call. After calling the office half an hour later, they had to chase what had happened and we were told that the person wouldn’t be able to get to us until an hour after the original time. This of course is not an issue at all as an isolated incident, but it started to feel like one thing after another. All of these problems were ultimately about a lack of organisation.There were a few minor issues on the day. For example, a handful of people didn’t get the correct meal and they had to be exchanged, and there were comments that not everyone saw or received the canapés . However, overall, it was a great day with tasty, well-presented food. Ultimately though, I’ve rated this on our experience with them across the year: we felt very let down. They clearly work on some impressive events and I imagine smaller weddings are less of a priority. While all of our other vendors were professional and friendly, we were often made to feel like no one at Caper & Berry really cared.

Caper & Berry were our wedding caterers (in August 2022) and they were fantastic.The food was amazing, the set up was amazing and their general professionalism and approach to the day was exactly what we needed. They completely ran the day and all the staff they employed were excellent.Couldn’t recommend them more highly for any special occasion!
Caper & Berry catered our Syon Park wedding last weekend (August '22) and we couldn't be happier with the result. The food was outstanding, and many guests claimed it was the best lamb they've ever tasted. The service provided was also top notch, with friendly, attentive, and professional staff. Tristan (the catering manager) was particularly great and tended to our every need on the day. We recommend anyone looking for a Richmond based caterer to use Caper & Berry!
Natalie Hewitt
Working with Caper and Berry has been an absolutely incredible experience. From appointing them on behalf of my clients, the food designing meetings, email communication, food tasting and delivering the wedding; the whole process has been easy, fun and memorable. Andy was an absolute hero leading up to the wedding and made our time on site a breeze. Thank you and I can’t wait to work with you again. – Natalie Hewitt Wedding Planner

We couldn’t recommend Caper & Berry enough. From start to finish an amazing experience. The food was superb, the staff were brilliant and the drinks kept flowing! Saskia was a real calming presence throughout the day. The team were so attentive and really thoughtful in making sure canapés were saved for us both. Harrison, the bar manager was incredibly helpful, kept checking in on us and did everything with a smile on his face! Everyone commented on the outstanding service and we’ll be sending them your way! Thank you so much - Eliza & Tom x
Siobhan Lewis
Caper & Berry were truly incredible from start to finish! They were professional, kind and considerate and answered all our questions and made us feel so at ease. The food was truly delicious and oh my gosh the staff on the day were second to none! Incredibly attentive! It was truly an absolute flawless service. Ollie Tester was a dream to work with, so knowledgable and patient and so calm. Thank you so much to the team for giving us our dream menu, you are all truly unmatched! Again, a huge thank you to Ollie and to Tilly Warren, both of which are absolutely fantastic!
