What families have told us

We have had a long but very successful day. I just wanted to get in touch and let you know how pleased we were with the service you have provided. The communication with you has been excellent, the quality and quantity of the food was spot on, and the staff were very professional, could not have been more accommodating or helpful and worked their socks off for the entire shift. A 5 star service from start to finish. I would be very happy to recommend you and share your details with our funeral director.

Food was delicious, all courses timed to perfection and piping hot. All of our guests thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Overall a fabulous evening, would certainly consider personal catering again instead of a restaurant for a similar occasion.

Chris

Private Dinner Party in Northumberland

Kris, myself, my family and friends have all agreed – the catering service you provided at our Wedding was superb. The staff, the food, the bar, the service and all of the little extras that made the day so incredible were all absolutely brilliantly and hugely appreciated.

Lizzie

Wedding, Newcastle

Just wanted to send a little message to thank you for the buffet you provided. It’s gone down a treat and everyone has said what a fabulous selection there was. The Coeliac platter was great too – a nice selection for her.

Alison

Western Community Primary School, Newcastle

I cannot recommend this company highly enough. when we were looking for a caterer they were telling or trying to tell us what we needed to do. Matt and the team listened, understood and then did what THE BRIDE WANTED! The food was superb quality, great tasting and plentiful.

Kelvin Marsh

Wedding Planner - Jo Atkinson & Andrew Coltman

I can certainly recommend Jackson’s Caterers. They helped us out at short notice and offered a range of options to suit our budget. They were more than accommodating as our numbers increased after the deadline date, and even on the night itself. The food was great and although it was a buffet the serving of it was controlled by the staff so that there was some formality.
