We had the pleasure of having BEC on our event at Castle Ashby Northampton. The team were amazing at serving 700 guests with ease and the conditions were not easy with such high temperatures. Their set-up, team and food was sensational and the entire team were outstanding. We would highly recommend you using Jarrod at your next event as our end client were very happy and we will be working with him again on our future ventures. The food variety and stall offering is perfect and really made the event. Adam - Bloom & Co

Fantastic service from British Event Catering! We used them for a corporate staff lunch where they served over 70 people. They arrived early to set up, everything ran smoothly, the service was quick, food was delicious, and there were no issues at all. Thank Jarrod and team, we look forward to booking you again soon!

Work for the medical team and always look forward to my pie and mash at the Orient. Fantastic food and always serving with a smile

I often visit Leyton Orient, my friend has tickets in the Tommy Johnston stand. I have coeliac disease so always struggle for gluten-free food at the football. I never have trouble when I go to Orient and the girls that work behind the counter are always so friendly, take the time to do things separately and go out of their way! I never catch their names but I wanted to pass on my sincere gratitude for how great they are! I can go to the football without worrying about where I'm going to eat for hours or eat something that's been cross-contaminated.

Jarod and his team are lovely and professional. So easy to work with from chatting over email to delivering on site. Very easy, never a worry and super friendly. Would recommend.

Jarrod and his team came to help us with a corporate event, for the second year running, where we were hosting for an estimated x1000 people. BEC were absolutely incredible with setting up, managing to serve all our guests and from start to end, easy and helpful to work with. We will definitely be using BEC again and would 100% recommend them for events, if you want reassurance for great service.

google

We recently had BEC provide the food for our local village fete, and I can't recommend them highly enough. Extremely professional, listened to exactly what we required and were great from start to finish. We'll be very happy to have them back again next year. Many thanks to Jarrod and his team!

Only edible food at Dubs of Rock .:: my son came out of the arena every night for your burgers and chips as he is extremely fussy. you did us good for the sausage baps every morning too .. please make sure your there next year !!! Amazing value , great food would have loved to have tried your roast pork roll.

google

We camped near this van at Dubs of Rock 2025. The food was delicious (sausage, egg, and bacon with two hash browns). The staff were lovely. The stand was open when others weren't. Cans £1 cheaper than other vendors. Overall really great and recommended. My only criticism would be the loudness of the music first thing in the morning, and the type of music played throughout the day.

google

Food was delicious. But the biggest shout out needs to go to the ladies working hard from early morning to late at night and all with a smile on their faces! Amazing service, thank you 😊
