Our Reviews

Lakeside provided the catering for our wedding last weekend and the food and service were outstanding. The canopes and the barbecue were excellent. A really great selection of hot food, salads and deserts which were loved by all of our guests. This was all very reasonably priced and we would definitely ask Lakeside to cook for us again. Great food · Great value

Absolutely amazing afternoon tea for the adults and children can’t recommend enough all homemade and delicious sooo much food as well highly recommend! Thank you !

Amazing roast, so tasty and plentiful. Really nice staff even though it was very busy we were not kept waiting. Desserts tasty too. Relaxing atmosphere

Brilliant Sunday lunch yesterday. Food was gorgeous, staff were lovely. Kids loved watching people fall over on the inflatable lol (built in entertainment) 👍🏼👍🏼

5 stars is not even enough!!! Can’t recommend highly enough! I spoke with Gemma over messenger to organise a buffet for adults and children for my little boys 3rd birthday party today. Gemma always came back to me quickly and accommodated all of our needs. Today I picked up our buffet which had all been freshly prepared this morning, and was also beautifully presented and boxed making it easy to transport. We had a gorgeous range of sandwiches, handmade sausage rolls, samosas, cheese sticks, onion bhajis, chicken skewers, pizza pinwheels and crudités with dip. Everyone devoured the food children and adults alike and all complemented how delicious it was! Such a high standard and such lovely people to deal with. Fantastic value for money as well. Thank you so much for all Your hard work and we will definitely be back for more!
