"Amazing and gorgeously dramatic..."

"My sister Savannah and I have always been believers of organic food and so it was important that the meals at her wedding were of the highest standards and did not include any GM or un-ethical produce. Tom presented us with a delicious meal that I thoroughly enjoyed. The experienced staff put on an amazing ‘live’ barbecue which was gorgeously dramatic. I got to meet Tom and thank him for his efforts, that really made the day special. He is a very focused and ambitious young man; combine this with his talent and sociable attitude and he has the ability to take his food into the celebrity world and really succeed. He is the Jamie Oliver of the south west!"

“The food was outstanding...the highlight of our wedding”

"Tom provided everything and more. With his hard working and approachable attitude Tom took charge of menus, staff and equipment leaving us to focus on other aspects of our special day. The food was outstanding, making it the highlight of our wedding. The overall service he provided has made a huge impression on our friends and family. With high profile guests attending, Tom knew his food and ability had the chance to really shine and he certainly didn’t disappoint. Tom’s vision to bring “rural food into Inner London” is something I believe he will really succeed in. A truly talented, honest and reliable individual which is evident in the delicious food he is producing."

“Without doubt Tom is able to deliver exceptional food”

"On the occasions when we have had conferences at The Great Barn Tom has provided all the food and, without fail, has always met with huge praise. He is extremely accommodating, coping with often numerous late and difficult demands from our clients. When Tom has catered for weddings, often for well over 100, the standard of the food and service has always been incredibly high. Without doubt Tom is able to handle very demanding clients, organise and train his staff well and deliver exceptional food."
EMMA BIRKIN, THE GREAT BARN

 

“Dedication, imagination and attention
to detail”

"Devon County Council recently hosted a conference with 130 or so delegates from across Europe. We needed a top flight chef who could come up with an unforgettable meal as well as handle the pressure of actually delivering a high-class menu. Tom came highly recommended and from the outset he took responsibility for the event with incredible enthusiasm. The evening was a tremendous success, with the delegates heaping praise on the chef, and one difficult-to-please French delegate was overheard to say that Tom’s Pressed Confit Duck Terrine with Beetroot Chutney was the finest he had ever tasted! It has been a real pleasure to work with Tom and if I ever have a similar event requiring dedication, imagination and attention to detail, then Tom would be the first person I would call."
BRIAN WILKINSON, DEVON COUNTY COUNCIL

 

“Please thank your staff who were all great and helped to make everyone feel thoroughly at home.”

"Thank you so much for your efforts and contributions towards what appeared to be a hugely successful event at The Great Barn. It certainly got us off to a great start and if catering reaches this standard at the other 7 venues we are visiting around the country we will be very happy - and fat! The reaction I picked up from guests and our client alike was extremely positive.

Please thank your staff who were all great and helped to make everyone feel thoroughly at home. Best wishes to you both. I hope we will have the opportunity to work with you again.
