We had pizzas for the evening part of our wedding celebration. They were tasty, varied, and nicely served. And our guests seemed to enjoy them a lot. I loved it that the pizzas were prepared on-site, and it all looked cool and special. And the staff were lovely and attentive. More...

My husband and I had Sweet As A Nut to cater our wedding last week, 2nd of September. FANTASTIC!! From our initial email to our big day they have been so lovely and welcoming. We were invited to taste some food they have to offer and from that moment we knew we wanted them for our wedding. The food was exceptional and their service and staff was above and beyond anything we ever expected. The amount of complements we received from our guests for the meal and especially the pizza we had for the evening meal was so great to hear. Please if you are looking for a company to cater your event, look no further! More...

Matt and Lottie, there aren’t enough words to explain how incredible you and your team are. From the minute we met you until the end of the evening at our wedding you were nothing but attentive, organised, thoughtful and above all else professional. You really took the time to get to know us as a couple and made sure our day was nothing but perfect. All of our guests complimented the food and said how amazing it all was, from canapés, bbq, cheese tower and evening food everyone was catered for and most were asking for more, even the children. We highly recommend Sweet As A Nut catering for any event. Thank you both so much ♥️ More...

We hired Sweet as a Nut for an evening dinner for a hen weekend and it was wonderful. Matt, our chef, cooked a three course meal for us and every dish was delicious. There was 23 of us in total and everything looked perfect. The timing of food was spot on too. We had a few dietary requirements/allergies and Matt was great with this, everything was done separately. Our server for the evening, Lyn, was lovely and so accommodating. Everyone enjoyed the food and we honestly have nothing negative to say at all. Overall, I highly recommend this company for catering an event. Thank you so much! More...

Sweet as a nut catered for our wedding and provided canapés and a 3 course meal of a goats cheese tart, chicken with the trimmings and then sticky toffee pudding. Honestly these guys absolutely smashed it! Everyone kept telling me how great the food was and how much they enjoyed it! The food at a wedding can be make or break and something people really remember and these guys helped make our day so much better. Not only that but they are so reasonably priced in comparison to a lot of other catering companies. I cannot recommend Matt and Lottie highly enough! 10/10 More...

For a special treat for a 30th birthday whilst on a long awaited family holiday for 11 of us in a converted barn in Wimborne, we hired Sweet As A Nut Catering to come in and cook a 3 course dinner for us. Lottie was very helpful on the emails and kindly allowed us to slightly amend the menu so we had a couple of choices in starters and desserts and we all enjoyed the delicious roast beef with lovely roast potato’s and gorgeous Yorkshire’s! They were really friendly and was lovely not having to wash up after. Would definitely recommend! Thanks guys 😊 More...

We recently hired sweet as a nut to cater a Mexican buffet for a hen do. During the months leading up to it the communication from them was awful, there were weeks and weeks where they didn’t reply and I had sleepless nights worrying if they were even going to show up. They did show up but unfortunately the food was average and our veggie guests especially weren’t impressed. Some small changes would have made it better like seasoning the fries, providing grated cheese for the fajitas/tacos, warming the churros etc. Overall, everyone was pretty disappointed by the quality of the food considering the price we paid and one guest even described it as “a lot of money for basically old El Paso boxes”. This is the first bad review I have ever left for anybody before, I really don’t like doing it at all, but feel that I had to share our experience. Maybe it’s just that the Mexican food isn’t their specialty, their other food might be better… More...

I had Matt and his family provide a bbq for us in our garden for my 40th and they did a great job. Having them there meant I was stress free on the day and could just chat to our guests which was a revelation for normal hosting! There was a good choice of menus in advance and plenty of food. Having Matt’s mother in law serve was so helpful. They made everything easy for the party, they were very nice to deal with and I would recommend them. More...

We booked Sweet As A Nut for a birthday celebration whilst self-catering on holiday, liaising with Matthew and Lottie throughout the process. A meal for 6 adults and 2 children.We worked through menu selection in advance and made our choices from across a couple of their ranges. They provided some additional options to suit our tastes. A couple of gaps in communication during the planning (due to other client commitments) but we had allowed enough lead time so no issue.It was a bit daunting not knowing who was going to arrived (and indeed if they would actually turn up). But on the day Matthew and his assistant arrived on time and set to work quickly, efficiently and quietly in the kitchen leaving us to enjoy our pre dinner drinks (self provided). They had brought everything they needed (except a freezer for the ice cream but we had space) and did not disturb us at all. The meal was served at the desired time and professionally done, checking in on each course midway through. The food itself received no complaints....it was well cooked and tasty. And come the end of service the kitchen was left cleaner than when they arrived.In house dining was a great option for a private celebration, and saved us finding a babysitter for the baby. And if I’m honest £260 for a customised 3 course meal for 6+2 was far better value than I had expected. Would for sure use the team again if we were in the area. More...

He arrived earlier than expected to set up with everything ready to go - no hassle and no fuss, he just got to it. Dinner was served promptly at the time that we had chosen and all 3 courses were great. The fact that we had a vegetarian in the group was no problem at all as we were able to choose an extra starter and main.

We find the best way to create a perfect menu is to listen, listen to the clients needs and ideas and work together to make sure they receive the best service possible.

We love that each day is different because each client is different. Working with our clients is never boring and it allows us to give great service and use our creativity.

Our family inspired us to start our business after catering for a family event and seeing how much joy food can bring to a private celebration, it made us realise that we wanted to continue long term.

We feel that we are an open, friendly, family business that puts our clients before anything else. We are here to please you with amazing communication, fantastic food and exceptional service.
