We hired Man with a pan to celebrate my 60th Birthday. Being November we wanted warm food and thought Paella would be ideal for 30 people. We had 2 options, chicken and Chorizo and vegetarian with prawns as a side option. Well, the whole experience exceeded our expectations. Mark was amazing from setting up, to cooking, serving and tidying up. Honestly the tastiest paella I have ever had. Our guest were raving about it as well. We even had some left over so got to enjoy it all over again the next evening. Highly recommend.

Brilliant experience - catered for 100 people at daughters 21st birthday party. Arrived bang on time, set up and prepared delicious paella and salads - guests loved it and there was a big tub of leftovers too. Would recommend without hesitation.

Man with a Pan catered for our wedding and were amazing! Everyone commented on how incredible the food throughout the entire day. From our first interactions with Mark, to our tasting, call with Carla to finalise the details, and then the wonderful team on the day, everyone was so lovely, friendly and helpful. We are so grateful for all the hard work and effort that went into making our day perfect! Thank you so much.

I have experienced a considerable number of styles and types of event catering over the years - many of which on the regional and national conference circuits for transport planning, urban design and town planning professionals. Based on those experiences I have to concur with you 100% that you deliver an exceptional catering experience. I say this based on my enjoyment of your catering firsthand this past weekend at a wedding celebration I was privileged to have been a guest at. Your support to that celebration was, in my opinion, delivered in an unobtrusively professional and courteous but personably friendly way by all of your team. The catering that you delivered throughout the day was, for me, well prepared, well presented, appetisingly tasty, and generously served. And for all of which I just want to say a genuine and appreciative “thank you”.

I was a guest at a wedding catered by Man With a Pan. The food was great: tasty and generous with a good range of choices. The clean up was unobtrusive and professional. The team couldn't have been more accommodating about food choices, and they were incredibly friendly and responsive about particular needs.

Man With a Pan were fantastic from initial enquiry right through to the very end of our wedding night. They were able to cater for a range of dietary requirements and everything was delicious!! They were also fantastic with the last minute change of plan due to Storm Amy and were flexible and smiling throughout!! Even a few hornets didn't affect there positive attitude. Thank you team Man with a Pan for making our wedding the BEST day!!

Food was awful. Was denied a dish because it was only for kids despite explaining that was the only dish that could be eaten. Very disappointing service
Reply from Man With A Pan 2025.10.06
Dear Sophie,

I understand you were a guest at Jade & Jake Murdoch’s wedding this Saturday.

I’m sorry we could not offer you the children’s Mac and Cheese. We were given the number of children in attendance in advance, and therefore catered to this number. You were one of the first tables up and hadn’t fed all of the children by then. So if we had given you the Mac and Cheese ,we might of risked the children being unable to eat. And nobody would have wanted that!

I strongly refute that the food was “awful” . I have been in contact with Jade and Jake today . They loved what we did for them, they, alongside two of their guests ( Jade Murdoch, Sarah Meggs and Olivia Monaghan), have all left us 5 star Google reviews - praising the food and service. We had catered for all the dietary requirements that were given to us by the bride and groom. There were three different mains on offer to you. So I wonder if perhaps they were not to your personal taste. But they were the options chosen by the Bride & Groom.

Our kitchen team did ask you to go back at the end to see what they could offer you. They couldn’t of stopped and prepared something else for you at that exact moment as it would have meant the 60+ guests who did want what was on offer, would be left waiting while they prepared you something. They had pasta left they could have made into something for you, also rice, fresh salad items and so on. They did also have some Mac and Cheese left over which would have been given to you happily. Our lead chef, did see the person you were with as they didn’t see you return, and told them, that if you wanted to go back they had some left as a few of the children had actually eaten from the adults menu.

We pride ourselves on what we do and take all feedback seriously, hence our response to you now.

If you would like to discuss your feedback or my response, I would appreciate an opportunity to speak to you over the phone. Our office can be contacted on 01420 620393 .

Kind Regards,

Mark Evans.

These guys were just incredible from start to finish, so speedy with responses, able to be flexible and change our requirements on the go! They were really good with phone calls and zooms on the run up to our big day - and managed to split all their staffing team across anywhere we needed them. The guests are still commenting on the paella and late night snacks - absolutely delicious and where to the serve so we can go and get some more 😂 Anyone needing food that even the foodies comment on being amazing, wrap around care and comfort throughout the organisation - these guys are your go to team. Thank you!

Mark and the whole team were nothing but amazing. From the get go, they really helped us shape our food menu for our wedding in Hampshire, fine tuning it to our specific needs and also adapting to the ever changing number of guests that me and my partner were figuring out with the wedding. The tasting day was one of our personal highlights when planning our wedding, then Carla the front out house manager took everything we had planned and ran with it seamlessly so we did not bat an eye lid during the day. At the event, the food was highlighted by multiple guests, and i can safely say that no glass was left unfilled. The staff were professional and fun. No questions at all during the run up or day of, just solutions matched with incredible food and service. Cannot recommend them enough|! Unfortunately i don't have any good images of the food or staff. But here is a photo of my groomsmen chowing down on some cake, which, the Marks team beautifully curated and sliced up after for our guests to have!

We used Man with a Pan to do the catering at our (low key) wedding in our garden and would thoroughly recommend Mark. He made the whole process really easy with a great menu selection, good comms and a quick pre-event site visit to check access. On the day, the team arrived on time, quietly set up, and waited for the hungry hordes to arrive. We had some people go back for thirds, which is testament to just how good the paella was. At the end of the night, the team packed up and left as quietly as they arrived. Brilliant.

We used Man With A Pan for the catering of our wedding and absolutely loved the service they provided. The food was brilliant, plentiful, varied, and made on time. Our guests were all going up for seconds (and some thirds). Mark was very helpful regarding food choices and preparation and Carla was amazing at organising all the finer details that we had no clue about! On our big day, Carla was brilliant and sought us out with food and drinks to make sure that we were having a perfect time. I cannot recommend Man With A Pan enough!

We were completely blown away by Mark and his team at Man with a Pan. We decided to go for a fully vegetarian menu for our wedding, and the feedback from our guests was phenomenal - everybody absolutely LOVED the food (even the hardcore meat-eaters were raving about it!). Communication in the lead-up was great - Mark and Clara were across everything and gave us complete peace of mind. On the day, the team ran everything seamlessly, from start to finish, including the evening bar. We’d asked that no guest ever have an empty glass, and they absolutely delivered - attentive, friendly, and effortlessly on top of everything. The food was incredible, the service was impeccable, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you so much to Mark and the entire team for making our day so special. If you’re considering booking them, don’t hesitate - just do it!

Our day went perfectly thanks to all the help from Man With A Pan. We're so glad we opted with the buffet style, which made our lives so much easier. The food was superb and everyone went back for seconds. Mark and Carla were both super helpful and flexible. Working with us to decide on staffing for our bar, as well as the flow of the day. We couldn't recommend them enough!

We were absolutely thrilled with the catering for our wedding at Poppydown Vineyard. From start to finish, the team were an absolute dream to work with – communication was excellent from day one, and everything ran so smoothly on the day. The food was outstanding – the canapés, paella, salads, and desserts were all beautifully presented and completely delicious. Our guests are still talking about the evening mac and cheese, which was the perfect way to round off the celebrations! The staff were incredibly professional, friendly, and accommodating throughout. Nothing was too much trouble, and their calm, attentive service really helped make the day feel special and relaxed. We honestly couldn’t recommend them highly enough – thank you for helping make our wedding day so memorable!

**Review for Mark from Man with a Pan Catering** We couldn't have asked for a better catering experience for our wedding, thanks to Mark and his team at Man with a Pan. From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism and care, making our special day even more memorable. Mark's staff were absolutely lovely and incredibly friendly, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for our guests. One of the standout features was having a dedicated member of staff looking after us as the couple. It was such a thoughtful touch that made us feel truly special throughout the day. The food was nothing short of fantastic! We opted for the Italian menu, and it was a hit with everyone. My husband, being Italian, was particularly impressed, and we received countless compliments from our guests about the delicious dishes. It was clear that Mark and his team put a lot of thought and effort into creating the perfect menu for us. Overall, Mark made the perfect food for a perfect day. We are so grateful for his hard work and would highly recommend Man with a Pan to anyone looking for exceptional catering! Thank you, Mark, for being such a significant part of our wedding celebration!
