We used The Meat Thief for our wedding party last year and we were so impressed. We had so many compliments that it was the best wedding food people had ever had and they catered to all dietaries without a problem. They were a pleasure to work with and I felt no 'food stress' on the day. Huge thank you to the team x

The Meat Thief catered for an event at our Outdoor Centre in October 2023 for around 170 people. The food was fantastically presented and absolutely delicious and was greatly appreciated by all our guests. We also found that the flexibility leading up to the event was excellent, the organisation on the day superb, and the team's customer service with all our guests couldn't be faulted. We would highly recommend them, and will definitely be using them again in the future.

We are so glad that we chose the Meat Thief to cater our wedding! Natasha and Jordan were so helpful, answering all my questions along the way. They are so friendly and the food is absolutely delicious!! It fit the style of our wedding perfectly and our guests thoroughly enjoyed it. They also set up our grazing board for the evening which was demolished by our guests . I couldn't reccomend them enough. Thank you so much for everything guys!!! Lauren and Andy

We would 100% recommend The Meat Theif. We sadly had to postpone our wedding twice due to covid but Natasha and Jordon were so supportive through the date changes and their food is on another level of tastiness! The team on our wedding day were brilliant. We will definitely use them again 😊 Thanks again guys! Paul & Holly

5 stars really aren’t enough! We hired The Meat Thief for our wedding on 28th May 2022. To begin with, we were invited to go to a tasting which was hosted at Natasha and Jordan’s house. Aside from the food (DELICIOUS!) it was so lovely to be invited into their home and made everything all the more personal. We grew to think of Natasha and her family as friends before anything else. Throughout the process of revisions to our order, planning, and the day itself - Natasha was perfectly professional and an absolute delight to deal with. The food on the day was absolutely unbelievable. There was so much, lots of variety with vegans and vegetarians fully catered for and it was all laid out with beautiful presentation. We had so many compliments on the food, in my opinion it’s one of the most important factors of the day and to have it go so perfectly took so much pressure off us and really helped us to give our guests an unforgettable experience. I cannot recommend The Meat Thief enough. Book them now!

Just had the most amazing BBQ food in November for my birthday and on my what a taste explosion it was. The brisket was so moist and tender, the smokey Mac'n'cheese topped with pigs in blankets, i could eat that everyday, the BBQ beans, potatoes and coleslaw. You will not be disappointed.

We recently had a party in our garden for 70 guests including about 12 kids and had The Meat Thief cater for us. They were AMAZING!! They set up on our drive with serving tables in the back garden which they decorated nicely. They provided an absolute feast for us! Natasha had suggested a menu and it included everything you could ever want.. sausages, burgers, loads of tasty vegetables and vegetarian options. There was a huge selection of salads, breads and sauces. They were very accommodating with food intolerances and gave us plenty of gluten free options. We cannot say enough how tasty the food was, it was just delicious. So many of our guests commented to us about it. On top of all of this Natasha and her team were brilliant, they were professional and friendly and we couldn't have wanted anything more! Thank you again!

The Meat Thief were amazing and everyone commented on how much they loved the food. What they did for us was truly stunning. They were nothing but helpful right from the beginning when we were deciding what food to serve to the day of the wedding itself. You definitely want them catering your wedding!! Thank you!

Absolutely incredible company. From the planning to the actual day, Natasha and Jordan were absolutely fantastic. They listened to what we wanted and provided exactly that. All of the visitors to our open day were so impressed with the burgers and how friendly they were. Having the Meat Thief at our event really made it. See you again next year.

We booked The Meat Thief for a corporate evening event and I could not have been more impressed. There was a huge selection of excellent quality BBQ meats, delicious salads and selection of breads and sauces. I was particularly impress with the vegetarian and vegan options - usually these are quite limited and disappointing - however, our vegetarians and vegans had nothing but praise and could stop eating! Natasha and her staff were friendly, very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. We would love to book them again for a BBQ!

This wonderful catering company run by Natasha and Jordan catered our wedding this summer. They went above and beyond our expectations the food was incredible and their service was first class. I can not recommend them enough if you are looking for some fun, first class and delicious wedding food you need look no further. Natasha and Jordan really made our special day that bit more special and we can't thank them enough. :-)

This catering company never fail to impress. They really do provide a professional 5 star service. They are reliable, organised and provide excellent food at a high standard.

Catered for our wedding on the 5th August 2017 and did an amazing job. Really attentive in the build up, very reasonably priced but still provided very tasty high quality food, and made the BBQ area all look very pretty which blended in with our overall look (summer fete/festival vibe). Highly recommended and genuinely all of our guests commented on how good the food was. Good work and thanks!

These guys are totally amazing, I highly recommend them to everyone! The Meat Thief team are so friendly and helpful and provided us such truly AMAZING food for our wedding, their service from start to finish was 2nd to none and exceeded all expectations. Everyone who attending our wedding couldn't praise the food enough, so much so that guests and even the special events marquee team wanted there details so they could to use them in the future too! Absolutely perfect in every way, I am so glad I was let down and this lead me to using these guys they were outstanding in every way and helped make our special day so perfect in every way. Thank you so so much Natasha & Jordon you really should be so proud, your service in every way is pefect. Marisa x

Natasha and Jordan provided the catering for my husbands surprise party. They were really helpful in suggesting menu options and organising things before the day. On the day they set up early and we didn't have to do anything. The food itself was amazing, lots of guests commented that it was one of the best BBQ caterers they had seen. Everything was cleared away and made easy, best of all it was excellent value. I would recommend them to anyone.

I was looking for a catering company to provide food for a surprise 30th birthday party as I had just given birth and didn't want to worry about the food whilst trying to look after my son and entertain guests. I looked at so many different types of caterers and I made the decision to use the Meat Thief... I wasn't disappointed! They made the whole day easy going, people were loving the food and most of the party had asked for their details to use them in the future for events of their own. The food was outstanding and they made a huge effort to make my day easy. I would 100% use their services again for future events. They will not disappoint!! Thank you guys again! We had a blast with you at the event!

First encountered this catering experience in Southsea Food Festival and I am so pleased to have done so! A delectable treat for this tastebuds, the burgers were divine with an unusual and appealing array of self serve condiments. We also enjoyed a hotdog which was a succulent serving of good quality sausage! Delicious, flavoursome, decent food 5*
