Please DO NOT USE  Inside Catering Company! If you want to avoid disaster to your wedding day – please avoid the catering company at all costs!! Don’t be fooled by the BBC GOOD FOOD experience. Our unfortunate first-hand experience with him, has left us no choice to say they are not be trusted.

We have also found out that Inside Catering Company is actually in LIQUIDATION! i.e. Trading has finished and creditors want what they are owed as he is closing down his company. They withheld this information from us and knowingly misled us. Do a company check at Companies House (company number 06732552) or on Google and you will see this information for yourselves. We wish we had known this prior to booking him! If we had known, we would not have used him.

Brides & Grooms, we really don’t want you to be in the same position as us. So feel that we need to make you aware of this so you are not trapped and disappointed on your wedding day.

We booked him for our April 2015 wedding and we found that he failed to live up to fulfil his catering obligations to us. A breakdown of what he failed to deliver is as follows:

• ZERO COMMUNICATION: In the crucial final week leading up to our wedding, we tried many times throughout the whole week to get in contact with him. Call, Text, Email and not once did he call us back to speak to us

• NO SHOW: He was due to set up on the day before our wedding, but he didn't show up leaving us with a lot of set up and dealing with his deliveries which we had no knowledge of.

• INCOMPETENT: he used very young service staff who didn't know when where to serve guests. They were wondering round and round tables looking confused. One could barely speak English

• MISLEADING: the food her served up at the wedding was total substandard, bland and almost exactly what we agreed we would not be having. We found it completely dry and horrible. It was not the same food he tempted us with at our food tasting, we were really mislead. Our wedding food was so basic in comparison it was shocking and unbelievable. They lied to us. He promised one thing and delivered another.

• DIRTY: he left our venue’s kitchen is an absolute state. I have honestly never seen such a disgusting mess. Food left everywhere including large amounts of fresh salmon that had been left out, uncovered for over 12 hours. He didn't clean up after himself at all. I have never experienced a “chef” work in such an unhygienic mess (we have photos to prove this). He has promised to leave the kitchen as he found it… more lies.

• EXTRA COSTS: the catering equipment and mess he left stained the carpet and stone at several places at our venue and as a result we lost our damages deposit. So annoying!!

We've tried on several occasions to contac Inside Catering after our wedding to resolve this situation but each time our voice mails, emails, texts and (recorded) letters have not been responded to. We feel very disappointed and feel we have been left with no choice but to share our experience with you all so that you can avoid this happening to you.
