15 Live OB days, in 15 different locations with no central base over three weeks was always going to be a challenge and with bad experiences in the past the crew were a little jaded. Aniseed rose to the challenge with a fresh vibrant menu every day served on time and dealt with the inevitable schedule changes that live TV brings. Not a single complaint was made to me during the 15 days and even the fussiest eaters gave glowing reports. Aniseed were exceptional throughout to the extent that when I got married they were my first and only choice to cater on the day.

Aniseed provided catering this year for the Springwatch remote site, a roadshow in effect taking in various parts of the south coast involving 12 different locations sometimes in difficult terrain during 3 weeks.

Aniseed, on being given a brief, produced a flexible, self-contained, self-powered and minimal impact set up that fitted very well with the ethos of a mobile live natural history unit.
They coped with changes in hours and sites without fuss and with very good grace, as well as immediately understanding the restrictions and environmental impact of working in nature reserves and areas of special scientific interest.

Menus were imaginative, varied and quite remarkably presented considering everything including the range appeared out of the back of a small VW van.

They really eased the burden on a crew that being remote from things in general, often went without being fed at all and we would all be very happy to work with the guys again.

Just to say thank you so much for Wednesday.  I spoke to Matt Hammond earlier, host for this lunch, and he was delighted with the service as were our guests.  They thought your food was excellent.

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you all for your efforts on Friday.  The food was amazing and so much of it and we had such good feedback.  You ran the show so professionally with no stress or fuss and just great service and food for the guests.

The pasties and flapjacks for the journey home were an absolute godsend. Thanks once again – it made the event very memorable!

Thank you all for cooking some fabulous food throughout Springwatch, and for feeding our hungry and demanding masses for a month! It was always served with a smile even in the pouring rain, with some mouth-watering options to choose from, good and hearty when we needed it, delicious lighter options and a great response to individual’s requirements. We certainly could not have kept going without you! In fact, my stomach’s rumbling just thinking about the food…..mmmm!

Aniseed Catering are one of the best outside caterers we have used at the University and Literary Club in Bristol.

The quality and the presentation of the catering was first class with excellent and immaculate staff, the kitchen was left clean and spotless after the event.

I would recommend any organisation to try Aniseed catering for their events. You will soon be recommending them to your friends and associates.

A really big thank you for the amazing food today!  It was all absolutely delicious and looked beautiful. I slightly over ordered 😉 but the left overs are going to a local homeless shelter so nothing will be wasted.

I can’t think of a single member of the team who wouldn’t be absolutely thrilled to see you guys again.  The food, it goes without saying, was perfect for the SW formula (perfect for any formula!), but on top of that, it was the camaraderie that was invaluable – you cheered us all!!  I, for one, will be bandying your card around all over the place, on the understanding that if ever I get the chance to work with you again, you’ll drop all the other bookings immediately!

To be honest, I couldn’t be more delighted with everything you and the guys did – do please make mention of us on your website and refer anyone to me who would like a “reference”.

Rest assured there will be no other caterers involved with Films at 59!!

Thank you and your team for such wonderful catering and beautifully presented.

We all really enjoyed it very much. It really makes such a difference when someone cares about the way things are presented, down to the sprinkling of icing sugar tempting us to try the pastries. I think it makes a difference to how people respond during the day. When everything is messy, uninviting and lacks taste it makes our job more difficult, no matter how important what we have to say is. So thank you all so much.

We’ve used Aniseed Catering for client events on a number of occasions over the past four years as the service and food that Colin and Sian deliver is simply outstanding.  The food is always delicious and beautifully presented and we always receive positive feedback on the standard of food and service from our guests.  Sian is so welcoming and helpful and we know that we can leave all the arrangements in her capable hands. Both Colin and Sian are welcoming and full of ideas for our events and we’ve recommended them on a couple of occasions to our guests.
