'When we first started to look for wedding caterers for Holly and Dan I believed we were up against it because I have never had acceptable food at any mass catering event. Furthermore, it had to be good enough to please the many Italians in our family who insist food has to taste good and be presented in the best possible way.
At our first meeting we knew we had found kindred spirits with Kemp & Kemp. Your ideas and proposals were exactly what we had spent weeks looking for. Our tasting session encouraged us more - but could Karen achieve that standard on the day? I know that cooking for these numbers in a marquee doesn't get much harder.
Suffice to say all expectations were exceeded by a good margin. We are still talking about the canapes weeks later. The main course (including the Vegetarian option) was superb, and I would have been proud to have made the sauteed potatoes with rosemary myself, not to mention the sauteed endive. The desserts too were unbelievable. Our guests were talking about the meal all night, and my dad said it was the best meal he has ever eaten outside our family... he now even concedes that English people can cook - well some.
On top of this, the service was outstanding.
I will say again - you achieved everything we asked for and more. Thank you for making the wedding so memorable.'

Thank you for the outstanding catering at our wedding - everything you did was flawless. Your staff were professional and your service was impeccable and of course, the food was incredible. We had so many complimentary comments and people could not praise the home-made 'Eton mess' enough. It was a truly memorable meal, preceded by delicious canapes prepared exactly as we wanted them. Thank you too for being so accommodating - you took on board exactly what we wanted and translated everything perfectly to the plate.
We could not have chosen better people to be involved in the most special day of our lives and we hope that we have the pleasure of eating your food again.

Thank you for the wonderful job you did on our wedding day. We literally had the best day of our lives and it was in no small part down to both of you. The service and treatment from you and your staff was faultless. The food was truly delicious and was exactly what we had hoped for when we imagined our wedding. Everyone commented on how good everything was from start to finish. Perhaps your biggest fan was Thea (our 6 month old daughter) who could not quite believe how good it was to eat home made custard.
Once again, thanks for everything you did from conception to delivery.

We thought the catering for our wedding was exceptional. The service during the drinks reception was organised and efficient; exactly what we asked for. The canapés were like nothing we'd ever tasted and they are still a major talking point of our guests - particularly the mini cottage pies!
We cannot even begin to describe the main course - it was sensational. The beef was cooked to perfection and, as a huge connoisseurs and lovers of chips, yours are without doubt the best we have ever tasted! Again, guests have commented on how delicious all the food was.
We are great believers that if you get the food and drink right at your wedding then the rest will take care of itself, keep the guests happy and it creates the best atmosphere. You did this perfectly with your food and we know all of our guests had the most wonderful day.

Many thanks for helping to make our wedding day so special. Your
food and service were fantastic & many of our guests commented on how
good they thought you were.
I cannot begin to tell you how over the moon we were with the food and service that you provided. Everyone commented on the quality of the food and how nice it was to have such variety and something 'a bit different'. As most brides – I didn’t manage to eat a great deal as I was chatting with guests and generally feeling elated, but what I did eat was truly amazing.'
