Foray Catering

Foray Catered for my wedding in Cumbria in November. Their whole team went above and beyond in every aspect from before we booked them to after the wedding day! On top of this the food was incredible and Stephen was a joy to have around during the wedding breakfast. I would 100% recommend the entire Foray Team to anyone looking for a wedding caterer.

We chose Foray for our Wedding Caterer in Cumbria and it was the best decision we made. We wanted to bespoke our menu choices and Oli designed us the perfect menu for us. Both Vi and Stephen, helped plan all the tiny details and Stephen made sure the day ran smoothly and everyone had an amazing time. The food was absolutely incredible, and we can't thank the whole team at Foray enough for making our day so special.

These people are absolutely fantastic. Incredible food, warm and personal service and a pleasure to have around on our wedding day. The team all went above and beyond what we expected on the day, the perfect compliment to an incredibly special day. All who came are still talking about what a good time we had and how amazing the food was (On that note sorry it's taken me so long to post this!)

Matt, Oli and team, thanks once again for such perfect and amazing hospitality!

Couldn’t recommend Foray enough! The food was fantastic with lots of people complimenting how tasty it was. The team were so helpful on the day. Stephen really helped our day run perfectly.

Foray helped to make our wedding day perfect. The food and the service were excellent and we wholeheartedly recommend them!

Absolutely fantastic experience with Foray! For our wedding at the Silverholme Manor, the tent provider (All About ME Marquees) I chose neglected to do a site visit until 72 hours before the wedding. This resulted in very serious and major issues. The Foray team arrived on site early to figure out alternative solutions. What could have been an absolute nightmare turned out to be a beautiful event. This is because Stephen, Oli, and of course Violaine are true professionals who went beyond their roles and responsibilities to make sure things run smoothly. Oli designed a custom menu with British & local ingredients at heart and with Turkish and German influences. When we had our tasting appointment, it was so difficult to decide which option to go with because everything was so good. The pizza station we had the evening before the wedding was a great success despite the rain: even the most discerning of our guests went in for seconds. Violaine recommended the finest wine pairings but was also budget-conscious enough to suggest that we order some items from Tesco directly. Stephen and his service team were all absolute pro's: during the wedding breakfast, my husband remarked how, for every serving of every dish, Stephen comes out of the catering tent, with the ladies coming after him like beautiful ballerinas in perfect order and harmony. These are all small details, but hopefully I was able to communicate how the Foray team goes above and beyond to make sure the whole event is a success. From the bottom of my heart, thank you very much!

Still recovering from all the fun, but just wanted to email to say a massive thank you! We knew you guys were good, but you and the team absolutely exceeded our expectations in every way. On the Saturday, everyone was commenting on how lovely and amazing your team were, and that the food was restaurant level. I think my favourite quote was ‘you had no business having such excellent pizza at a wedding’. Honestly the best decision we made for the wedding, we are so glad you could be part of it.

The Foray Catering team are absolutely fantastic. They catered our full wedding weekend, starting with pizzas & ice cream on the Friday night, brunch on Saturday, and then the wedding dinner, plus evening cheese! All the food was superb, matched by their service and professionalism.
We would consider ourselves quite 'foody' people - we've eaten at many of the best restaurants in the UK - so food was really important to us at our wedding, and Oli and Matt surpassed our expectations. They were super relaxed about bespoking the menu to suit our specific tastes & preferences (including serving marmite butter - SO good!), and on top of it all they are some of the nicest people we've ever met.
Stephen ran the service like clockwork, always making sure we were happy with everything (which we inevitably were), and ensured we could relax in the knowledge that our guests were well taken care of.
We are immensely grateful to Oli, Matt, Stephen and Vi for making such a huge part of our wedding so memorable for all the right reasons.

We chose Foray Catering for both our day and evening food at our wedding at it was honestly the best decision we made. From start to finish we have had the most wonderful experience. Foray were so helpful when we were making our menu choices and put on a delicious tasting experience for us to make our final decisions. On the day we were just blown away by the level of service and attention to detail. In particular, Stephen and his team were the most lovely and attentive people and couldn’t do enough to make sure our day was as special as can be! Then the food, Matt and Oli created the most delicious 3 course meal as well as the pizza ovens for the evening and we have been inundated with compliments from our guests saying it was the best food they had had, and we definitely agree. The pizza ovens were so fun and interactive and all our guests loved it. I am completely blown away by Foray and we’re already trying to plan our next experience with them! 10/10 would recommend to anyone!

We chose Foray Catering for our wedding in Cartmel because of their food ethos of keeping it local and using local farms and suppliers. Their menus are innovative and offer something a bit different to others we looked at. The service we received was exceptional, their attention to detail and quality of ingredients was second to none. Matt and Stephen offered ideas and suggestions at our tasting evening, creating a perfectly balanced and delicious menu for us and our guests. On the day itself everything was perfect, from the planning and organisation to the superb food, their team are a delight and nothing was too much trouble. Many of our guests commented that this was the "best food they've had at a wedding". The owners and staff at our venue enjoyed working with the Foray team - they are a joy to work with and true professionals. If you are looking for a wedding caterer I can wholeheartedly recommend Foray, they are excellent.
