About Taste Caterer

For couples who really care about the food. We're restaurant people rather than mass-event caterers.

Taste is a wedding caterer for people who don’t want their wedding breakfast to feel like, well… a wedding breakfast.


There are no set packages and no Menu A, B or C. We start with you: the food you love, restaurants you return to, places you’ve travelled, family favourites and dishes you can’t stop talking about. Then Chef Director Steve creates a menu completely from scratch around you. No other couple is choosing from it.


And bespoke really does mean bespoke. Want beautifully plated dining? Your guests can choose from three options per course, included as standard. Prefer everyone digging in together? We create generous, tapas-inspired feasts designed for sharing. Somewhere in between? Tell us what you have in mind.


Behind every menu is serious cooking. In the four days before your wedding, stocks are simmering, sauces reducing, meat brining, fish curing and ice creams churning. Your food doesn’t arrive in boxes ready to heat up. We make prep it for days and everything is cooked on site at your venue on the day.


But Taste is about more than what lands on the plate.


We take just one wedding per day, so when it’s your wedding, you get us. Steve leads the kitchen and Charlotte leads front of house, alongside our own team, never agency staff. The people you’ve been talking to throughout the planning are the same people walking through the door on your wedding day.


Steve brings 20+ years behind the pass and an award-winning restaurant background. Charlotte brings 15+ years in front of house alongside a design background and an obsession with how the whole experience feels, from service and tables to the little details your guests notice.


The result? Wedding food that feels less like catering and more like an incredible restaurant experience created just for you.


Tell us what you love. We’ll take it from there.

Taste Caterer Details

  • Every menu created from scratch around you: no set packages, no Menu A or B. Tell us what you love eating and we’ll build it from there.
  • 3 choices per course, included: give your guests a restaurant-style choice rather than serving everyone the same wedding menu.

Meet the Owner

Charlotte Thorns

Hi, I’m Charlotte, FOH Director at Taste and if you get in touch, I’ll be the person you’ll actually speak to. I’ll get to know you, what you’re planning, what matters to you and, importantly, what you love to eat. I work alongside my husband Steve, our Chef Director, to turn all of that into a wedding that feels completely yours. I’ve spent 15+ years in hospitality and front of house, with a background in design too, so I’m slightly obsessed with the things people notice, how the tables look, how the service flows, how your guests are looked after and how the whole experience feels. And I don’t disappear once you’ve booked. There’s no account manager to hand you over to. I’ll be there on your wedding day, leading our front-of- house team, while Steve is in the kitchen making the menu we created with you. So when you call Taste, ask for Charlotte. Chances are, it’ll be me answering anyway (or on occasion Steve)!
