Customer Service and Satisfaction

Tracey Garside and Marcus Leckenby started EpiCatering in 2013 and continue to have an active role in overseeing the day-to-day running of the company's operations. They are dedicated to providing a very high level of customer service and will never cater more than one event on any day of the year to ensure their undivided focus and meticulous attention to detail.

Whilst Tracey and Marcus are busy making sure that the food is exceptional at every event, you will find our superb events managers and experienced waitstaff taking care of the front of house. All events are different; once we have established how formal or informal you would like your event to be, we will be pleased to make the appropriate staffing level recommendations.

Oh my goodness -- what a weekend!! We all had the most ridiculously great time and we cannot thank you and your team enough for providing the stunning food and working so patiently with all our guests' weird and wonderful intolerances and requests. I have never been happier to recommend a supplier, and I have posted five-star reviews on Google and Facebook. Please let us know if there are any other avenues it would be helpful for us to post to and I would be delighted to do so. Once again, we are beyond thankful to you for making our day such a success. Everyone raved about the food, especially the lamb and the canapes (although my favourite was the mac & cheese; my mum was right about that one) and the breakfast was the perfect hangover cure for everyone yesterday. You guys truly went above and beyond and we could not be more grateful. I will be sure to share photos of the food when we get them back from our photographer so that you can have them for your socials and/or website. Huge, huge thanks to all of you at EpiCatering. I'm crossing my fingers that I'll see you guys at another wedding in the future when I am a guest and not the scattered bridezilla! With endless gratitude and appreciation, Daisy & Matt

Over the years, Epicurean Catering Services became shortened to EpiCatering.

Epicurus was an ancient Greek philosopher and sage who founded Epicureanism; he taught his students that pleasure was a sign of the good, and pain a sign of evil.

Epicurean refers to a devotion to pleasure or refined, sensuous enjoyment, especially of good food and drink.
