I have been working with Taste Creative for many years now and have always been the very best in class at what they do. The food is always first class and the service, communication all five star also. They have hosted many parties and private events I have put on and will continue to use them for many many years to come. 10/10! More...

We have used Taste Creative 3 times, each time Geoff and Charlotte have made the evening one to remember. The menu choice is brilliant, and the cooking is excellent, can’t find fault. Charlotte is very attentive and makes the evening flow, keeping all guests happy and looked after. They take control of the whole evening leaving you to enjoy the evening along with your guests. They leave the kitchen clean and tidy, you wouldn’t know they had been. I would recommend them to anyone, we will certainly be using them for our next celebration. The hors d'oeuvres are so tasty - SUPERB More...

I was so impressed by Taste Creative and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer. Right from my initial enquiries there was excellent communication, and Geoff provided helpful suggestions to come up with a menu that perfectly suited the event. The food was delicious and plentiful, and everything was so beautifully laid out and presented, which made it extra special. Charlotte really looked after my guests and I am still receiving compliments about the catering two months later! Thank you to Geoff and Charlotte. More...

Geoff & Charlotte - Not only did you hit the brief, you exceeded our expectations by far. The food was amazing and for me a special mention for the beef canapé has to be made as I can not stop thing about it. I feel a bit bad saying that as everything else was first class too! You both provided the perfect balance of engagement and discretion whilst how you cleared away almost entirely un-noticed can also be considered a magical feat. The feedback from all of our guests has been awesome and we have already recommend you to other friends looking for a similar experience. More...

Fantastic Party service!!! Geoff and Charlotte were really friendly and helpful in choosing from their great menu and advising on the best form of service for our 50th Party. Their Bowl Food option was perfect for our marquee party and the food itself is really good! We have had lots of compliments from guests about the fabulous food and even our DJ said it was the best he'd had at a party! Geoff and his team were really organised on the night and helped make our party fabulous for everyone! Can't recommend highly enough! More...

Geoff and Charlotte catered for our wedding in September 2022 and from start to finish, Geoff, Charlotte and the team were organised, professional and had a very friendly manner. As soon as Charlotte arrived the day before, she got to work with her team setting up and putting finishing touches to the marquee meaning it looked beautiful. On the day, she was the calm and organised figure we needed to put our nerves at ease. Geoff is a qualified chef and his food was the best food I’ve ever had a wedding (and I’m not just saying that). I cannot recommend Taste Creative enough. They go above and beyond for your event and your guests will be talking about the food for weeks after just like our guests did. More...

This was our second time of using Taste Creative, having used them for 80 guest garden party in 2021. Our experience last year was very good, but this year was even better, 100 guests for a fully catered garden party. The catering side of things was superb with a full menu including a multi choice Bar-B-Q. However more than that; Geoff and Charlotte offer a full service, including table layout design, provision of serving staff and a full bar service. The staff they provided were all of a very professional standard which all added to the quality of the service provided. Needless to say my wife and I were delight by the product and service offered and provided by Taste Creative, and we are already in discussions with them for an event next summer; arguably a powerful demonstration of our praise and satisfaction!

An absolutely fabulous experience!!! We contacted Taste Creative to cater for our family summer garden party for 35 and from the outset it was a superb experience - selecting canapés and buffet choices was easy with the extensive, impressive menus and Geoff's helpful expert advice and pre planning continued to be impressive and thoughtful with Geoff and Charlotte gathering photos and information about our kitchen, position of marquee and a site visit the day before our party. From the moment Geoff, Charlotte and their staff arrived we were in the hands of professionals - the service was impeccable with staff moving effortlessly among guests serving canapés and drinks, always with a happy smile and an excellent description of the canapés being served. Nothing was too much trouble. The buffet was equally wonderful and served again with professional aplomb and a particular thanks to Charlotte with her lovely organisation of table lay out and settings in the marquee and the bar area - all with those small extra finishing touches of table decorations and lovely crockery and colourful water glasses which made everything a truly high quality al fresco restaurant! We have had external catering before for family events but Geoff and Charlotte took our party to another level and excelled anything we had previously - everyone was unanimous in their praise of Geoff. This was a dining experience at an absolutely superb level - the food from canapés to desserts was divine!! Geoff and Charlotte we cannot thank you enough for ensuring a truly memorable family experience!! A wonderful evening - thank you both so much!! We are already looking for our date to have you back next year!! More...

Geoff and his team were absolutely fantastic from start to finish! Nothing was too difficult for them, despite me asking for a 9 course tasting menu plus canapés to start! Everything was presented beautifully, went like clockwork and I felt totally relaxed throughout my 40th birthday celebrations.

He was knowledgable, friendly and quick to respond to all my queries (of which they were many!)

Last Saturday was the second time we asked Taste Creative to cater dinner for 8 for an important family occasion and just like the first time the event was faultless. Not only did the food look incredible it tasted fabulous and this time we chose a completely different menu! Geoff and Charlotte arrived with all their own equipment and even set the table beautifully. It was so much nicer than going out to a restaurant and logistically suited our circumstances so that we could all relax and not even worry about the driving and babysitting as all stayed the night together!

Wow , what a dream team Geoff and Charlotte are ! I booked Geoff to host my dinner party for 6 guest, not really knowing what to expect. I had researched many companies and going on the reviews i chose Geoff. I am so glad i did! We chose the menu months ahead and they were in touch a week before the event and fine tuned the last arrangements. From the moment they arrived I felt at ease, they fitted in perfectly. They bought everything with them and took over my kitchen as if they had been there many times. Charlotte did all the finer preparations ,the table and arrangements which were beautiful. Charlotte was at the ready as my guest arrived and the service was super. We had canapes and champagne to start which were superb! The mains and desert were fantastic , my guests were in ore ! They served us coffee and then quickly and swiftly clean away everything as if they had never been there ! No washing up, no clearing up for me ! I enjoyed everything about my first experience of Taste Creative, and have recommended them to all my friends.

Q&As

I enjoy cooking all types of cuisine. Having been classically trained I put my own personality into every dish I create, so my signature dish would be any dish you choose.

Although I have my own menus, I enjoy creating bespoke dishes for my clients. These are created by communicating with my clients and discovering their likes and dislikes or coming up with ideas around a theme for the event.

I love cooking for people who enjoy food. I get so much satisfaction anytime someone notices and appreciates the level of work and attention to detail that I put into my dishes as well as the level of service my staff provide.

I have spent much of my career working in high end event catering, gathering a lot of experience working in all types of venues and conditions, I felt I’d learned a lot about myself and my style of cooking and I thought a lot about the kind of company I would want to start up, given the chance.
This is my creation.

I am a perfectionist. My goal is delivering your perfect event. I will work directly with you to create an experience that will leave you and your guests with happy memories and happy tummies.

Services

With 20 years experience in 5* hotels and catering I set up my own company focusing on my passion for creating amazing meals for special occasions. With fresh, local, seasonal ingredients I create amazing menus to 'wow' you and your guests.
