Feedback and Testimonials

Here’s some feedback from our previous customers about how they found our service.

  • “I cannot recommend Jake and his team highly enough. I recall the first chat we had with Jake… we talked food for half an hour and by the end of the call we were absolutely convinced he would smash it. He took on board every one of our wishes and steered us expertly in the right direction. On the day itself, Jake and his team were calmness personified. Nothing was too much and the food was absolutely out of this world. Catering for 150 guests is no mean feat and Jake made it look so easy. The attention to detail and care that went into every element was stunning. The freshly baked flatbread, the homemade hummus, the beautiful lamb spit-roast… it brings back such good memories. Of course, none of this went unnoticed. Every single one of our guests commented on how beautiful the food was. We cannot have wished for anymore and are so grateful for everything. Would absolutely recommend Jake.” Charlie and Milly, London
  • “Jake and David were recommended to us by our local butcher Richard Cook. Having already tasted the quality of meat from Richard we were confident that Jake and David would cook it to perfection and they did just that. Come the big day, Jake and David put together a delicious menu of marinated steaks and chicken alongside spit roast lamb which we asked to be carved for posh flatbread wraps. The liaising prior to the day was great and the preparation and service on the day was very professional. They sourced great quality meat with bags of flavour, prepared and cooked it perfectly in a good quantity for our hungry friends. They were a pleasure to have there on the day and did such a good job my best man of the day has now booked them for his wedding. We highly recommend them and hope to have them back for future party’s” Ed & Erin, West Sussex
  • “David and Jacob provided the food for our wedding in September and we couldn’t have been happier with the quality on the day and how easy they made it leading up to the event. We were catering for 300 and, as everyone does, we wanted it to be memorable for our guests. David and Jacob were excellent in running through the options with us, being flexible to meet our thoughts on the day, balancing specific dietary requirements and leveraging their experience to help us make the right decision. On the day itself they knew exactly what they were doing and worked really hard to ensure everything was perfect, I was extremely grateful that they made it so easy for us. The food was excellent and the meat was of exceptional quality, as were the sides and vegetarian options. Everyone I spoke to on the day mentioned how much they enjoyed the food and many sought me out specifically after they had eaten to tell me how good it was.” James and Liz, Brighton
  • “Barwood Barbecue catered at my summer party. The food was fresh, tasty and prepared without needing any input from me. I was left to enjoy the company of friends and conversation – a real treat. Jacob is very personable and has a real enthusiasm for his craft. I would definitely use his business’s service again.” Carl, North London

  • “I have had great service from Barwood Barbecue for a number of different events.  Their knowledge, expertise and attention to detail is top quality and if they are doing a job for me I am confident I will be well looked after.  On their list of attributes is their communication skills, and I am always kept informed of the job a simple thing but often overlooked by other companies.  Given the choice and their availability I would be happy to use them on all my outside work.” Richard, West Sussex
  • “A huge thank you to Barwood Barbecue who catered at our wedding. They gallantly braved the elements to set up their magnificent looking spit roasts early on a on a showery autumn morning and the results were out of this world. The food went down a storm with our guests, the lamb was delicious, the salsa verde was to die for and we highly recommend Barwood Barbecue to anyone who are looking for catering for their special day” Michael and Freya, Brighton
