Client Testimonials and reviews

I just want to say a huge thank you to yourself and your whole team for last night- the food was absolutely amazing! Everyone I spoke to commented on the wide variety, and the different food items that were available that you wouldn’t normally see at a ball. Thank you so much for cooperating with us, and our slow replies and many other obstacles on the way, and for helping make the evening truly spectacular! I really hope you enjoyed the night as much we did. I will definitely pass on your details to the next committee!

"Verrechia Catering were a fantastic addition to St Hugh's Ball. Their food was delicious and was served quickly and always with a smile. They were attentive to the dietary needs of our guests and were extremely efficient in their service. I cannot recommend Verrechia enough for their professionalism and efficiency on the night, and Carl and his team were a delight to work with."

"Dear Carl, Thank you! Just a note to say thank you to everyone who worked at the King's Affair this year: we have had nothing but positive reviews so far for the catering and for the event itself; it was a great success and we hope you enjoyed it as much as all the guests seemed to! Thank you for your continued support for the Affair and for all your hard work and professionalism, we could not have done it without you. We will pass on your details to our successors, JT and Charlie, and hopefully we'll see you again next year! Thanks again for everything!"

"Carl and his team at Verrecchia caterers were all I could ask for when organising the St. Peter's Anne's Spectrum Ball. Endlessly patient and professional when we were under great logistical strain and provided a stellar service on the night, which went down a charm and without a hitch. I'd heartily recommend them for anyone seeking food caterers for a large event!'

"Hi Carl, Just wanted to say thank you for providing the food at the Wolfson June Event. Crepes were as popular as ever, and the rest ticked over smoothly throughout. Also, big thank you for bringing the ice cream cart in so early, that was certainly a big relief this year! ;)"

"Dear Carl, Thank you once again for all your hard work on the night, it was incredibly appreciated and the crepes tasted fantastic, they were so popular and we got brilliant reports back. The van and the popcorn and candyfloss were all displayed brilliantly as well, they looked great as well as tasting it!"

"Just a quick email to say it has been a pleasure working with you over the last few months and thank you for all your help. It was great seeing all our hard work come to life on site last week and I have had great feedback from my college event managers. All the best, and look forward to working with you in the future! Many thanks"

"Verrecchia were absolutely fantastic on the night, they set up quickly and professionally and were extremely cooperative in making the night run smoothly, even to the point of offering to help other caterers with their gas set up. Their food was extremely well received all night long, and kept hungry guests dancing into the small hours of the morning. Their burgers were a treat, and the candyfloss and popcorn provided a great addition to a chill-out space. Their service kept going at a great pace, and they provided fantastically for all speciality diets. St Ball benefited massively from Verrecchia and would recommend "

"We just wanted to say a massive thank you to Verrecchia for catering Trinity Hall June Event! Verrecchia provided the BBQ and falafel for the Trinity Hall June Event. Communication from them was prompt and clear, and they were incredibly helpful with any queries we had. On the night, set up and clear down was efficient and quick, and the staff very friendly. The BBQ and falafel both went down a treat and were especially good with catering for special dietary requirements such as veganism and gluten intolerance. The stand was decorated nicely, and the whole event ran smoothly!"
