A great success

We recently had a prestigious lunch which Jo's Kitchen catered for us and we would absolutely recommend them as the lunch was a great success and the food was delicious, receiving many compliments. The staff who were serving were so cheerful and Jo was really helpful too and we would definitely be more than happy to work with them again.

Such flair and attention to detail

Jo went above and beyond

—

We were so delighted with the food and service provided by Jo's Kitchen for our wedding. Jo went above and beyond, in particular to help navigate the covid rules for weddings and nothing phased her which was so unbelievably reassuring. The food was absolutely delicious and was enjoyed by all guests. So many of our guests commented on how tasty the food was. Jo's staff were also fantastic in ensuring our wedding ran smoothly and were all so friendly. We highly recommend Jo's Kitchen.

Jo was a wonderful support

—

Jo’s Kitchen provided catering for our wedding breakfast, evening buffet and BBQ. Throughout the planning Jo was a wonderful support and hugely accommodating – she offered great suggestions and ideas, catered to everyone’s specific needs.

We knew from prior clientele that the quality of the food would be without reproach—the reception meal was truly outstanding and left our family and close friends glowing with praise. The BBQ and buffet was equally wonderful. Jo’s team were outstanding throughout the day; they went ‘above and beyond’ to ensure we could relax and enjoy.

Beyond the food the most common compliment was that no-one was left with an empty glass or wanting more to eat. We really cannot recommend Jo and her team highly enough to deliver your event.

Incredible service on our wedding day

—

Jo & her team provided an incredible service for our wedding day. Completely took away any stresses or worries, she handled everything with total control and understanding. I put my full trust in her & the team, letting us totally relax and enjoy our day knowing that everything was handled to an amazing standard. The food, of course, was phenomenal. She worked with us to create our own bespoke menu based on a recipe we provided, couldn't have asked for any more. 10 out of 10.

— Katerina & John

—

Culinary genius

—

Jo went about creating the most phenomenal, ten course taster menu for an eclectic bunch of ten of us (with various dietary requests!), in secret, and then proceeded to manage the chaotic logistics of serving 10 courses, to 10 people in complete darkness, keeping glasses topped up at all times and without skidding over on the odd, stray morsel that hadn’t quite made it successfully to its intended destination!

— Katy & Shane Corstorphine

My guests are still raving about the food

—

Thank you so much for a fantastic meal/canapés/service at our wedding! My guests are still raving about the meal and canapés. I managed in between photos to grab a couple of canapés which were fantastic. Many many many thanks for making our day perfect.

— Susan

—

…that was fantastic

—

Everyone absolutely loved the food and as well as them telling me repeatedly on the night, I've had lots of lovely messages since — even more impressed that you managed to produce all that in that wee kitchen with less than a square metre of work top! The lamb and jewelled rice were my big favourites — though the starters absolutely stole the show! Such a treat as a wheat-free type to get such crunchy starters. Stunning.

— Rachel Mackenzie

—

what more could you wish for?

—

Thank you to you and your team for helping to make our wedding day so special! The food and atmosphere was great as always! The evening was rounded off by a dance in our empty marquee what more could you wish for!

— Mairi and Callum

—

Lots of compliments

—

We had an amazing day and have had a lot of compliments about the food, the canapes in particular. Thank you for not only for providing excellent food on the day but also for aiding the preparations in the run up to the day.

— Rosie and Geoff

—

Never been so well fed at a wedding

—

Every single one of our guests have commented on how utterly amazing the food was, and said they have never been so well fed at a wedding before! That was exactly what we wanted. You completely excelled in all our expectations and helped to make the day exactly how we dreamed it to be and more.

— Kirsty and Richard

—

Every aspect of the food was complimented

—

I think that every single one of our guests has mentioned to us about how great the food was at our wedding. Whilst every aspect of the food was complimented, the lamb was particularly fantastic and the churros and raspberry macarons were incredible!

— Peter & Beth Wood

—

Your work was seamless

—

We just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your hard work at our wedding last weekend! Your work was seamless and the food was amazing, so many people commented on how great you were! We are so grateful to you for everything that you did. Thanks again.

— Fiona and Darren

—

You really did us proud

—

This is just to thank you very much for the catering at the wedding. You and your people did a great job, and the quality of the food came up in more than one conversation at the event and after it. A wedding reception can stand or fall on the quality of the catering and you really did us proud. Thank you!

— Norman Lamont

By far the best wedding food they’ve ever had

—

Given the range of the menu, and the fact that all of the food was prepared and cooked using cater hire equipment without a ‘proper’ kitchen, this was no mean feat and is testament to Jo and her team’s exceptional talent.

— Mr and Mrs Thorne

—

Jo is supported by a brilliant staff

—

Jo has catered for a range of weddings for us at Cherrytrees ranging from Peruvian feasts to gourmet tea parties and they are all fabulous and all different. Jo is supported by a brilliant staff who look after the guests beautifully — Jo’s Kitchen really do create a very special and very delicious event for all our couples.

— Amanda Barnes, Cherrytrees

—

Thorough and professional in every way

—

Jo’s Kitchen are thorough, professional in every way and, like Castleton Events, really focus on the client and the individual details outlined by them. The food is always delicious and I always have the peace of mind that each event will run smoothly and efficiently.

— Jo McNicol, Castleton Events

—

Jo’s food is superb

—

We have worked with Jo for numerous weddings over the years now and they are a pleasure to work with, the feedback we get from our couples about Jo’s food is superb.

— Alexander Mitchell, Owner, Harvest Moon

—

Quality, professionalism, and positive client feedback

—

When Jo’s kitchen is onsite at Winton, the team selling and servicing our events are assured of three things – quality, professionalism, and positive client feedback.

— Linkon Axon, General Manager, Winton Castle

—

It takes great skill to deliver such high quality

—

It takes great skill to deliver such high quality when dealing with large numbers and this was noticed by both of us and the guests. Every single person we spoke to was very impressed and one of my ushers who married last year said the beef was so good they wish they had used you to cater for them.

— Mr & Mrs Paton

—

A wonderful treat

—

Amazing food and service. The best ever and a wonderful treat for my family.

— Shawn Morgan

—

Jo seemed to think of everything

—

Jo and her team catered for our daughters christening weekend and what a feast we had! It was all delicious. Jo swept into our kitchen and with minimal fuss produced a formal dinner completed with canapés for 20 and a buffet lunch the following day.

— Tilda Dewar

—

The team left everything absolutely immaculate

—

Jo was at the heart of making our party such a special and memorable event for us. We had a challenging theme (“out of Africa”) and weren’t sure how easy it would be to cater for in an authentic yet fun way. As soon as we mentioned it to Jo her eyes lit up and she was rattling off hundreds of fantastic ideas. Her enthusiasm and support didn’t slow right up to, during and after the event for which we’ll always be hugely grateful.

— Shane & Katy Corstorphine

—

Now excelled at all 3 of my children’s weddings

—

We had worked closely with her on the very demanding menu and the food Jo produced was outstanding, and everyone said so. I could write so much more about that wedding and how Jo worked so hard and gave everything she had to give. I cannot recommend Jo’s kitchen highly enough. She really deserves to win an award.
