what people think about crab apple catering
When it comes to planning an important event in Dorset, finding a reliable and experienced catering company can be a challenge. Whether you’re organizing a wedding reception, a corporate event, or a family gathering, the quality of the food and the presentation are essential components of the experience. Fortunately, there is one catering company that has gained a reputation for its proficiency in all types of events: Crab Apple Catering.
Chose Crab Apple Catering to provide food for a funeral tea recently. The food they provided was exceptional with plenty of vegan options too. It was presented in a lovely way, and many people told me how impressed they were with it. They catered for 120 people but there was more than enough food for everyone. Totally hassle free in the delivery and subsequent clearing up. Thank you

December 1, 2025Crab Apple catered our wedding in bridport in June and we could not have been happier with the service. We reached out after being left really disappointed with the recommended suppliers from our venue and were permitted to use Crab Apple who made everything a breeze. They served our welcome drinks, provided the canapés, a 2 course meal with wedding cake as dessert and then toasties in the evening which went down a treat. The whole team were such a pleasure to deal with, the waiting team were equally as lovely. After such a poor experience elsewhere, they were a breath of fresh air and genuinely felt like they were there to make our lives easier. Their pricing was also very competitive. I would use them again without any hesitation. Thank you Matt, Jordan, Julia and the whole team for making our day so special.

September 19, 2025Jordan and the team were amazing for our wedding in June 25! The food was lovely, and the service/organisation was very efficient/seamless, everything went according to plan and things just happened without really noticing. Being able to have the same caterers for the sit down meal and then the evening hog roast was a big bonus too. They can cater for dietary requirements outside of your menu choices and have great options of rood choices. Would definitely recommend booking Jordan and the team!

January 22, 2025Crab Apple catered for our Golden Wedding Celebration with our children and grandchildren at Woodyhyde Court. Their service was excellent throughout from discussing possible menus with us, through to serving food and clearing away afterwards. They have an excellent and extensive choice. We chose canapes, 3 sharing plates for the main (with sides) followed by sharing desserts. The food was delicious and our whole experience excellent value for money.

Crab Apple were amazing at the last wedding we shot, they were really attentive to the bride and groom, guests and other suppliers.
This made all the difference when it came to the photos, no one was ever hungry or thirsty on their watch. And the food was to die for!
OMG! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can’t thank Matt, Julia and their team for their amazing food.
We are quite picky eaters and Crab Apple exceeded all of our wildest dreams. My 40th party food was loved by everyone. So again, thank you.
I am busy recommending you to every bride-to-be I encounter. Your menu planning and tastings were so relaxing.
The wedding canapes and wedding breakfast were scrumptious, and all of our guests complimented you on the food and service. Thank you ever so much.
