"Me and a large group of girls had a couple of nights away at the Fitz (Cockermouth March '25), and we used Choice Catering. Cannot recommend Deb from choice catering enough, every single dish we ordered was amazing! If you are staying at the Fitz, or anywhere near by you NEED to book her. "

"Another amazing weekend catered for by Debs and her team whilst staying in Keswick. We can’t thank you enough for the amazing food and service, a fantastic dinner, and buffet. As usual excellent communication, food, presentation, and service, brilliant all round from start to finish as always. We always look forward to being catered for by yourself as everything is always cooked, presented, and served to perfection and tastes amazing. As we have said before you are such a wonderful cook and your passion for what you do is second to none and shows in the excellent food you create. We look forward to seeing you again this year. Thank you for all your hard work helping make our weekend special."

"From the very start Debs was amazing! She was so helpful and answered any questions efficiently. She was so approachable and helped so much with preparation for our wedding celebration. Nothing was too much trouble! The menu she put together was superb, the food had so much flavour and everyone enjoyed it, we had so many compliments throughout the day. Her team were fantastic, they were so efficient and everything ran smoothly. I would highly recommend Choice catering!"

"We had an incredible 6 course meal from Debs and her lovely team for our post wedding celebration at Bristowe Hill. All of the food was spectacular and the service was amazing. We would definitely recommend Choice Catering and hope we get to book Debs for another celebration in the future. Thank you for making our weekend so special! Thanks again "

"Thank you so so much for all you’ve done! It was absolutely amazing… everything was perfect! Your attention to detail is truly wonderful! Debs was very helpful from the very beginning and helped us decide on a perfect menu, including delicious canopies and buffet, as well as evening food for our wedding! All of the food was served and presented beautifully and tasted amazing. It was clear that all of the food was fresh and locally sourced. We had so many compliments on the day and afterwards. We would highly recommend Debs and her team for any occasion!"

"Thank you to Debs and the team at Choice Catering. I really cannot recommend you highly enough. The brunch i ordered for my 50th Birthday at Bristowe Hill was outstanding and so delicious. You also made me a chocolate cake which was stunning, and created a cheese tower, a real talking point for my guests. You cooked everything to perfection, served and cleared away along with your lovely ladies that helped. You really did make my birthday special and will definitely use you again. "

"Thank you Debs and the choice catering team! I cannot recommend you highly enough. Stayed for a couple of nights at the Fitz, and we enjoyed an amazing 3 course meal. Everything was cooked to perfection and delivered on time. The chocolate tart was out of this world, the best I have ever tasted!!"

"5* review We booked Debs to cater for a family birthday whilst on holiday in a large holiday home in Cockermouth (Feb '25) From getting the recommendation to the provision of menus and guiding us as to what may or may not work, we had the most amazing evening. We ended up having canapes then a buffet for 20 people of all ages . There was so much choice and the standard was excellent, a lovely evening had by all and would not hesitate to recommend. Even the next day people were still visiting the fridge to finish the leftovers! Amazing value, superb food and could not fault the quality in any way. We would definitely do this again. Great evening so thank you Debs to you and your team!"

"We had a 60th Birthday party at Derwentwater House for 21 of my family and closest friends. I was recommended Choice Catering by the company I booked the accommodation through and it is fair to say it was a brilliant recommendation! Debs was so easy to deal with and could not have been more helpful. The range of choice for the menu was excellent and all of the choices we made were absolutely delicious. Portions were all very good and the service was very professional and friendly. Having caterers for an occasion like this is a great idea and Debs and her team are exceptionally good at their jobs. Many thanks!"

"What a terrific weekend. The high point being the Saturday night dinner. Your presentation was flawless, food delicious and service seamless. Shame you didn’t look after us the whole time! Finding someone like you can be a minefield so I now know who to recommend, without hesitation. Many Thanks Again"

"Debs and her team’s service was perfect for our hen party celebrations. On the Friday evening, we had three spectacular graze boards that catered for everyone’s requirements. The presentation was wonderful and the food was top quality. However, the highlight of our weekend was the delicious 5* quality three course deluxe meal that was prepped, cooked and served for us on the Saturday afternoon. The food was top restaurant quality and the friendly and accommodating service was wonderful. There were 16 people and there wasn’t a single complaint and everyone was full of praise. I’d highly recommend Debbie and her team for any celebration. A huge thank you from us. "

"Debs has been catering for our weekend away with friends in the Lakes for the past few years. Each year she amazes us with her fabulous array of delicacies! Breakfasts, dinners and afternoon tea were all outstanding. Communication with Debs is always so easy as she understands exactly what is needed. We’re looking forward to seeing you again next year Debs! Thanks so much to you and your team!"

"I cant thank you and your team enough for the wonderful food and service you provided during our weeks stay at Bristowe Hill in Keswick. It is always a worry when you have arranged catering for a large group (18 people) that all will go to plan with timings, food ect but from the moment you arrived at the house you put my mind at rest and treated my guests to a wonderful buffet on arrival, a magnificent three course meal during the week and a sumptuous afternoon tea the day before we left. Everyone commented on how wonderful the food was from start to finish. The food was simply amazing and so much of it!!!I would have no hesitation in recommending you and your team and would love to use your fabulous services again hopefully in the not-too-distant future"

"Debs and her team were amazing from the first email to the sparkling kitchen at the end. We were staying at Bristowe Hill in Keswick and they made the dining room look magical. The meal was beautifully cooked and tasted delicious. The ladies that served the meals were so efficient and friendly, all in all it was a meal we will never forget. Can’t give Debs and the ladies high enough praise. Thankyou. "

"Thank you so much to Debs and her Choice catering team for a wonderful night to celebrate my 50th birthday at Rosetrees on the Lingholm Estate. The food was amazing and the service outstanding. A brilliant start to my birthday celebrations. Thanks a million Ruth "

"A big thank you Debs to you and your team, for a fantastic dinner, amazing buffet, lovely breakfast pastries and cakes for our weekend in Keswick.

"Debs provided two lovely dinners whilst we stayed Keswick to celebrate my 50th birthday. The food & service was outstanding. Highly recommended! "

"Dear Debs Just a quick note to say a huge thank you for the wonderful private dining dinner you catered for. It was such a lovely evening and our party, every course was just brilliant. The canapés, especially the mushrooms were to die for and the cheese soufflé … what can I say ! Everything about the dinner, from first contacting you to the evening itself was outstanding. Thank you so much"

"Just fantastic! Debbie catered for our 3 course meal for a party of 14. We would highly recommend Debs and her team, our meal was out of this world and the service and attention to detail was superb!"

"I ordered 4 different flavoured cupcakes for my wedding, vanilla, Nutella, red velvet and white chocolate and they were absolutely amazing! All of the guests commented on how beautiful they looked and how great they tasted! Debbie made the ordering so easy, it was a dream for a bride with a lot to do to have lots of confidence that the cakes were going to be perfect! I won’t go anywhere else if I ever need some again."

"We were the lucky recipients of these amazingly delicious items. Choice Catering’s careful attention to detail and knowledge of local foods made for an outstanding evening. The cheese tower was a thing of beauty and cheeses were beyond compare- the local Coverdale being the star of the show. The grazing boards were carefully curated and packed with flavour. The Celebration Cake and the Guinness Black Cake were gobbled up with relish! I would highly recommend Choice Catering to anyone visiting the Lake District. Five out of five stars! ❤️"

"We chose Debs and her team at Choice Catering to cater for a special birthday celebration meal for 19 members of our extended family whist we were staying at Bristowe Hill in Keswick. From the outset of planning the meal we were very impressed with her speed of response, range of menu choices and professional approach. On the evening of the meal her team arrived bang on time and proceeded to prepare the food and set up the dining room in an exceptionally efficient and organised manner. All the food was of superb quality and served by her very friendly, helpful and efficient team. She gave excellent value for money and we would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending her. It was a truly memorable meal and evening."

"Debs is absolutely wonderful. Her catering is divine and her attention to detail, responsiveness and cooking skills are second to none. We could not speak more highly of her and the lovely afternoon tea she prepared for our daughter's Christening. Ask about the vintage china too, a lovely touch. Thank you so much!"

"Just a brief note to say WOW! We were blown away with the quality of food and the high level of service you provided at the weekend. I’ve rarely had better in a restaurant. To be able to do that in a remote environment must be really difficult. Once again, thank you so much, it was stunning""

"What can we say Debs, "awesome, absolutely fantastic, amazing, Wow"! These were some of the comments we received from guests at Rachel’s 40th Birthday Celebration Buffet. What a wonderful spread you provided for us, from when we first contacted you to book the date and time to when you delivered the food, you were so wonderful and caring in every way. Many thanks indeed"

"Everything was exemplary from the initial contact with Debs to the actual meal for my birthday that Debs and her team provided. Cannot recommend highly enough. The quality of the food and service was amazing. Thank you for the lovely birthday cake and for making my birthday so special. You and your team are just wonderful, I just wished you lived closer to where we live! All the best, Denise "

"Debs, your cake was an absolute triumph! Honestly the best celebration cake we'd ever had, and in David's case that's 70 years ?, as you know! He was completely gobsmacked! Thank you so very much, what a flipping talent. Will be in touch re other occasions!"

"Many thanks for everything you did for us last Saturday which made the evening celebrating our Golden Wedding such a success You and your team provided exceptional service arranging the whole evening which meant that we and our guests just had to enjoy ourselves. The food from the canapés to the meal itself was simply outstanding. The cake was a great surprise which we are still enjoying now!! "

"Debs and her team prepared and served a 3 course meal and cake for our wedding, both the food and wedding cake tasted superb and presented beautifully. Plenty to eat in each course so very good value for money and way beyond expectation. Every little detail was thought of during the planning stage, things I had never even thought about. My family and I also got meals delivered to each of our homes during lockdown which were also exceptional and we are all disappointed that this is over now. So thank you very much Debs, we would certainly love to and hope to deal with you in the future!?"

"We have been using Choice Catering for a few years now whilst on large family holiday and each time we have used them the food has been outstanding. Would definitely recommend."

"We recently used Debs and the team at Choice Catering for our wedding. Our guests are still talking about the food now! The quality of the food, service on the day, support and organisation leading up to our day were second to none. Would not hesitate in recommending Choice Catering."

"Debbie and her team provided catering services for our family during our stay at 'The Grotto' in Yanwath for a particularly memorable family celebration. The dining experience exceeded our expectations, with delightful staff, an impressive selection on the menu, exquisite food, and generous portion sizes. They managed everything from setting the table to tidying up afterward, ensuring a thoroughly enjoyable experience within the cozy confines of our holiday home. Many thanks"

"Debs is awesome she catered for a corporate event for us in Carlisle. We had the deluxe buffet and it was scrumptious. Very high quality food, tasty with a good variety of choices, thanks Debs, would definitely use your services again."

"Food was delicious. Set up amazing. Deb provided afternoon tea for 70 people for my 50th birthday. Deb is highly organised and has a great attention to detail. I would highly recommend Choice Catering. All my guests commented on how much they enjoyed it. Presentation, food and service all 5 star."

"In March this year we were delighted to be approached by Clarence House regarding a proposed visit to the area by HRH The Prince of Wales. The visit to Ullswater was to be a relaxing lunch featuring locally sourced ingredients and some quirky re-inventions of appropriate classics to celebrate the The Prince's 70th year. Debs was my first thought when we were invited to host such a prestigious event and I have to say that it was a spread fit for a King! Everyone was extremely impressed by the range of delicacies on offer and by Deb's imaginative and contemporary style of presentation. I am sure that The Prince very much enjoyed the time he spent with us on Lady of the Lake and the refreshments offered. We all hope that he will come and visit us again soon and, if he does, I will be giving Deb's a call to devise another menu to impress."

"Thank you Debs, for the wonderful 3 course deluxe meal you made our party of 16, last weekend. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. Very high quality food, and great service from you. We would have no hesitation in booking you again, and recommending your services. You were highly recommended by Bristowe Hill, and now we know why. Thanks again Debs, and hopefully we will be booking you again next year. "

"Debs and her team recently catered for my wedding and I couldn't be happier. The food was delicious, presentation was excellent and the service was impeccable. Debs was friendly and easy to communicate with. I couldn't recommend choice catering highly enough. Thanks Debs!"

"Debs had the tough task of creating a 3 course meal for 16 girls on my hen do last weekend... Some wanted certain dishes without certain ingredients! The food was delivered to us beautifully presented and all we had to do was heat it up with the instructions she left. What can I say the food was outstanding! Exactly what we needed after a long day at the spa ;) would definitely recommend using Debs again - food and prices were fantastic. Thanks again Debs!"

"A big thank you to Debs and her staff for looking after us so well on Saturday evening at Derwentwater House. There were 16 of us and I can honestly say every single one of our guests commented on how good the food was. Excellent quality ingredients, well presented and unobtrusive service. It was impossible to find fault. I would have no hesitation in recommending Choice catering. Once again many thanks."

"Thank you so much Debs for the most amazing champagne breakfast and afternoon tea! All the girls said the cakes were amazing! You took all the pressure off the weekend and we had the best time."

"We found the service leading up to our wedding impeccable. Debs spoke to us regularly and helped us by making suggestions when we were unsure about decisions. She was open to the numerous changes that we made and was more than willing to help. The food was exquisite and we would recommend the assiette of desserts that again Debs suggested in line with our vintage theme. The service was excellent and her staff very approachable, well presented and friendly. The personal touch that Debs provided both on our visits and through other contacts made the choice easy for us to use her for our special day."
