“Thanks very much to Lorraine and the team who provided the excellent barbecue for my daughters after wedding brunch. The team arrived with no fuss set up and provided an excellent selection of food. Everyone in the team was so friendly and helpful.

Would highly recommend if your looking for high standards!
Wedding
We used Lorraine and her team on the 20th of July for our wedding at the Barn at Barra Castle and they were absolutely brilliant from start to finish!! Lorraine is a genuinely nice person and will do anything she can to help, nothing is too much hassle. We were actually let down by another catering company and were very wary but Lorraine was so kind and understanding she filled us with confidence straight away. We were provided with a full tasting of our menu selections before even deciding to go with them and the chef went out of his way to cook up some extra chicken nuggets for our daughter (which she loved). Lorraine was always responsive to emails and met with us at our venue the week before the wedding to go through things. On the day the extra little things that they helped with like setting up favours , moving furniture and keeping the place tidy was superb. Extremely professional at all times and the staff were so nice ! Everyone LOVED the food, it was so tasty and well presented. Cannot thank you (Lorraine) and the team enough for helping to make our day extra special. I would recommend you a million times over !

Wedding brunch
Thanks very much to Lorraine and the team who provided the excellent barbecue for my daughters after wedding brunch. The team arrived with no fuss set up and provided an excellent selection of food. Everyone in the team was so friendly and helpful. All the guests commented on the excellent selection of food, Lorraine even passed on recipe tips to the guests ? Lynn and myself will have absolutely no hesitation in using them again or recommending them to anyone who is looking for quality food served by a superb friendly company. 10 out of 10 from Team Harkin.

Amazing food, great service!
Recently got married in St Andrews. Absolutely would recommend Thistle Catering to anyone planning an event. Lorraine was brilliant and executed exactly what we wanted. We had food stalls which the food was amazing. Even our guests till now are still raving about the food. Thanks Lorraine and your team!
Wedding in Chamber East, Panmure Street, Dundee
Would definitely recommend.
Everything from the communication through e-mail to communication on the night, from the ease of payment and value for money to the outstanding service and delicious food...nothing could be faulted about Thistle Catering’s service. Most guests commented specifically on how amazing the food was so it helped make the whole night special. Really impressed.
