Here are some of the testimonials and much love from our many happy couples and clients.
“Lin and her team were absolutely fantastic for our wedding from start to finish. Lin’s preparation and planning is exemplary, and she really takes a ‘whole wedding’ approach, making sure we had everything lined up and ready for the big day.
When it came to the food, what Lin and her team produced throughout the various phases of our day was memorable and all the guests couldn’t believe the quality she could deliver for the number of guests. From our canapes, to the main wedding breakfast, the evening food, late night bacon rolls, right through to the hungover friendly canapes and paella on the following day; Lin and her team exceeded our expectations every step of the way. No request or idea was too much for them.
Lin works incredibly hard and really invests herself in your day. She is a great support throughout the whole wedding process and we would definitely recommend her. Many of our friends already use LAP and we will be doing so again.
– Ryan & Bea Dart

Lin was so organised and professional from the very first meeting with us. She helped us so much with the planning of our special day. Having Laps food and Bar for the caterers of our wedding day was the best decision we made. Her pricing and organisation was second to none.”

“Lin and her team provided the catering for our charity ball recently at The Corn Barn. The food tasted delicious with great variety and dietary requirements were brilliantly catered for. The service was impeccable. Thank you very much for everything- I knew everything would be “on point” with LAP Food and Bars and we were definitely not disappointed.”
– Rebecca Manley

The food at our wedding was fantastic and the staff was wonderful, so charming and professional …… All of our guests were amazingly taken care of – endless food and booze. That was just the start of it… Lin and her team made sure everything throughout the whole day ran smoothly – we had no worries whatsoever, Lin said she would take care of everything and she literally did!”
– Amber Moore
“Lin and her team catered for our wedding a couple of weeks ago and since then all we’ve heard from our guests is ‘THE FOOD WAS INCREDIBLE’. Lin was great throughout the whole process, we were never put on any pressure and it was a relaxed vibe which is exactly what we wanted! Thank you so much!”

We cannot recommend Lin and her team at LAP Food and Bars highly enough. Not only has she run our bar very ably for our first season of weddings and events, but has been a tremendous help with her experience and advice along the way. And the food…… simply fantastic! There is nothing we like to see more than a catering team arriving on site with the basic raw ingredients ready to be transformed into plates of deliciousness, and that’s just the way it is with LAP Food and Bars. Every detail is considered, and a thoroughly professional team ensure everything runs smoothly on the day. You’re sure not to be be disappointed if you choose LAP to caterer for one of the most important days of your life!

“We had 8 months from engagement to marriage, our wedding would have not been possible if it wasn’t for LAP. Pure class from start to finish. Every single guest commented on the quality of the food and how it was presented, even down to the formation of waitresses as they left the catering tent. No stone is left unturned Lin and her team deserve this award so much. Thank you Lin”
OLIVER GOODY & LOU BARKER – MARQUEE WEDDING, AUG 2024
“Lin and her team were amazing. We had to pull the wedding forward a year due to my father being diagnosed with terminal cancer. Lin accommodated this and helped us plan the wedding even helping us decide how the day should run hour to hour. We requested a dish which she hadn’t cooked before for 100 people it was off her normal menu list but Lin and her team did not hesitate to deliver an amazing meal of beef wellington and made the day run so smooth. I couldn’t have hoped for better.”
DAVID LUFFMAN – BARN WEDDING, AUG 2024
“Lin and her whole team were fantastic on our wedding day, every single one of our guests HUGELY complimented all the food, especially the canapés. They are so easy to contact, very professional and incredibly organised on a day that can cause a lot of stress and worry. As the bride and groom we never had to worry, everything was completely under control with them. They introduce themselves so you know who they are when they arrive which I thought was fantastic. Would recommend to everyone!!”
LOUISA SMITH – HAREFIELD BARN WEDDING, APR 2024

ABBEY GLANFIELD – FROGGINWELL VINEYARD WEDDING, APR 2024
“I think one of the top 3 things at a wedding is the food! I wanted to make sure the food is top notch and LAP did not fail to deliver.. LAP came highly recommended and i can see why! even at the tasting i was blown away the good flavour, texture, and made me leave the tasting wanting more and excited for the big day.. Even couple months after our wedding people still comment on how good our food was. I have rebooked LAP for a event later this year.”
NEIL WOOD – WEDDING, JUL 2024
“We booked LAP to do our wedding catering as soon as we booked our venue. I knew we wanted them from the start due to previously experiencing their service. From the start the service was exceptional. We had a detailed planning meeting and tasting evening which was fantastic. The tasting was tailored for us. On the day the service was incredible and Lin worked exceptionally with other providers. The food was sensational and the attention to detail and special touches were very special”
RACHAEL SNELL – WEDDING, JUN 2024
“Lin and her team were exceptional. Lin made changes to the sharing menu and catered to our ideas which were different to those she normally does. Wehad multiple phone calls and emails before finalising our menu. On top of this, she was able to adapt all dishes to suit allergies and dietary needs. On the day, the service was exceptional, all guests commented on how amazing the food was, especially the mushroom arancini. We could not have found better caterers and front-of-house service!”
CHANTELLE LAKEY – HAREFIELD BARN WEDDING, AUG 2024
“Lin and her team were amazing, she did a fabulous job from my initial call right until our big day. Everyone commented how delicious the food was and everyone was left very full! Lin not only served amazing food she helping organise the day and keep the timings on track.

We couldn’t have asked for any better food or team to work with!”
HEIDI JAMES – MARQUEE WEDDING, JUN 2024
“Since our wedding, we have had several comments from guests telling us that it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. Lin from LAP listened to us and created the perfect menu for our wedding, nothing was too much trouble. She took our ideas and made them better, and when we couldn’t choose she came up with clever ideas to combine different things together. The service was also fantastic – the team delivered everything in perfect condition, despite very rainy circumstances!”

HANNAH BRYAN – MARQUEE WEDDING, MAY 2024
“Where to start with Lin? She was incredibly helpful from the get go and was flexible with me hanging my mind re location, menu etc. The food on the day was absolutely faultless and we have had so many compliments with many of our guests saying it was the best wedding breakfast they have ever had! Lin is very experienced and offered helpful suggestions, which is exactly what we needed from a wedding supplier! Would not hesitate to recommend and use again!!!”
FERN BRADFORD – HAYNE DEVON WEDDING, JUN 2024
“LAP Food and Bars were absolutely brilliant from start to finish. They were way to contact and helped us along the way with any questions we had regarding catering for the venue. I’m a vegetarian and they made it very easy to swap dishes on their set menu for a vegetarian option. The food on the day was absolutely stunning and we had so many compliments from our guests. There was plenty of food provided per person, and they ensure there were the required number of vegetarian and vegan options.”
BETHANY FROST – HAREFIELD BARN WEDDING, SEP 2024
“We were incredibly impressed by the professionalism and standard from the offset with LAP. Lin and her team absolutely hit the mark of what we pictured both with the amazing food and presentation. The team were immaculately dressed and executed the serving and clearing of food to precision. The food served was unbelievable, we have no idea how Lin cooked the best beef we have ever eaten in a marquee kitchen. The food has been a talking point from guests since the wedding! Faultless throughout.”
MERCEDES PEMBERTON_MATHEWS – UGBROOKE HOUSE WEDDING, JUL 2024
“They have been giving us the best quality food as couldn’t find any fault with it as every guest full love the food as it is delicious taste of food for our wedding.

2022 Testimonials
“My Husband and I would love to thank Lin, Natalie and the rest of the Laps team for the most amazing service they provided us on our wedding day At Kennaway House. Lin was so organised and professional from the very first meeting with us. She helped us so much with the planning of our special day. Having Laps food and Bar for the caterers of our wedding day was the best decision we made. Her pricing and organisation was second to none. Laps provided us with Stunning canapés, 2 course wedding breakfast and stone-baked pizzas for the evening. We chose to use their high-quality glassware crockery cutlery and tablecloths. With our own designed table decor, it made our reception look absolutely stunning. All our guests commented on how lovely it all looked. The food throughout the day was delicious and enjoyed by everyone. Natalie who was our maître d’ was amazing. She helped put myself and Jamie my best friend at ease explaining how the running of service will be and the timings of everything. She took our worries away, which meant everyone had an amazing day without worrying if we needed to be somewhere at a certain time. I mean who wants to clock watch on their special day. Laps made our gorgeous wedding cake too. Everyone commented how beautiful it looked. It tasted amazing and made the perfect pudding for our evening reception. Thanks once again Lin and team.”
FIONNA AND SIMON _ WEDDING, OCT 2022
“I cannot rate LAP Food and Bars enough, they have been absolutely phenomenal from the get go. I have never met a woman as organised as Lin – she is quite honestly fantastic, the minute she took on our wedding catering I instantly relaxed. She not only cooked divine food from a menu completely chosen by us but LAP lead the whole wedding from the ceremony; welcome drinks & canapés; speeches; two meals and the bar, with the help of Natalie who was equally amazing and made the day seamless. I can’t do the food justice enough in words but the amount of guests who messaged after the wedding saying how delicious it was speaks volumes! Lin was so easy to communicate with and took the time to visit our venue beforehand to check out the cooking facilities, as well as coming on the day before to prepare the bar, cooking areas and tables. Quite literally the best caterers ever and I would recommend to anyone who asks; they’re reasonably priced and just brilliant! Thank you LAP Food and Bars – you made our wedding what it was. Becky & Dan xxx”
BECKY – WEDDING, SEPT 2022
“Where would we have been without Lin!! From our first meeting after our original caterer couldn’t do our new date from 2020, Lin took on more of an event manager role. And boy did we need it! Sorting all the small details that you wouldn’t have necessarily thought about. Fast forward to the wedding week, August 2022, Lin and team arrived on site a few days before and ran through the itinerary for the day with the bridal party so everyone knew what to expect. When the day came it was seamless, without a worry on our part. Nat was our FOH and kept everything in order on the day, especially when we started to run over with photographs! Making sure the Bride and Groom were looked after throughout, which was needed on such a hot day. The food was exceptional, I think our guests enjoyed our choices. Great service with a smile from both catering and bar staff. Well done Lin, Nat and team! We had an amazing day and it wouldn’t have been possible without you. Big thank you!!!”
LUCY – WEDDING, AUG 2022
“I completely agree with the review below, Lin is certainly not just a caterer and we cannot thank her enough for everything she done for our wedding! From pre-wedding organisation of food, drinks and timings, right through to the day/night of our wedding – Everyone at LAP made sure everything went so smoothly!
The staff were all amazing and many of our family and friends have said it’s the best wedding food they’ve had
Thank you Lin & Team LAP”
BECCA – WEDDING, AUG 2022
“What can we say about Lin! Definitely not just a caterer, she is amazing in all aspects and no stone goes unturned. But mainly her food was perfect and the bar ran very smoothly (and looked fab!). We booked LAP for our own wedding, then leading up to it and since the wedding we have realised she is at MANY events and all have been outstanding. Would definitely use again and 1000% recommend.”
JESS – WEDDING, AUG 2022
“We could not have asked for anything more from Lin. Right from the first email through to the big day we’ve had nothing but help and professionalism from Lin. On the day her team were amazing and nothing was any trouble. All the guest were commenting on how wonderful all of the food looked and tasted. The wedding cake and cheese tower were being admired throughout the day too. Thank you so much Lin for making our special day an amazing one

Your input into the wedding went far beyond that of just the food. Your advice and attention to detail beforehand & overseeing of the day regarding timings & order of events etc allowed for a seamless day! The food was absolutely fantastic from the canapes to the fish & chips in the evening. So many people commented afterwards on the quality & service!

“Lin and our team catered a wonderful three-course meal for our wedding, and we felt from the start that Lin really wanted to make the day as special as it could be. Communication was excellent throughout, and that’s before you get to the food, which was described by our guests as the best food they’d ever had at a wedding! We would wholeheartedly recommend LAP food and bars. Thanks again for helping make our day so special.”

JEN – WEDDING, MAY 2022
Lin and her team recently catered for our wedding – canapés, roast beef, trio of desserts, fish and chips and a selection of cheeses, all of which were perfect. Really couldn’t have asked for better. It was so helpful discussing the itinerary with Lin as her knowledge is so expansive and this helped our day run so smoothly. Lin was very accommodating when we had to move our wedding date three times thanks to Covid and when we changed our mind at the last minute regarding the dessert! If we were to organise another event in the future, Lin would be the first person I would book.

The food was amazing and everyone has said how much they enjoyed it and how brilliant everything was – particularly your attention to detail for those who had dietary requirements. You made everything so easy for us and we always felt like we were in safe hands with your excellent expertise. We will thoroughly recommend you to anyone we know who is looking for a caterer! Phoebe and all your staff were brilliant on the day too, helping everything to run smoothly. “
CHARLOTTE – WEDDING, OCT 2021
“Where do I start…
Lin and her team really made our farming-themed marquee wedding the most perfect day ever. Her attention to detail was amazing, the food and the comments we received were outstanding. The starters was so much more than expected, the beef was out of this world and the desserts we was spoilt for choice. Not forgetting the canapés ( the fish finger and tartar sauce was great! ) All of her team were very efficient and nothing was too much trouble. She did an amazing job of our wedding cheesecake – looked perfect.
Lin was more than just our caterer she helped us through the whole journey which was so much appreciated.
No words can really describe how fantastic Lin was! I would 100% recommend her to anyone. No star rating will ever be high enough!
Thank you Lin I cannot wait to use your services again in the future.
MEGAN AND ROBIN – WEDDING, OCT 2021
“So after using LAP as our wedding caterers (and absolutely loving them and 6 years later still getting compliments for how amazing the food was) we called them for our daughters Christening, they served an amazing hog roast with a great choice of salads and sausages for the kids. Needless to say the food was amazing and so was the service, they don’t just “serve a hog roast” they made sure tables were cleared, cut the Christening cake, and made sure everything was replenished (not many caterers do this). They also managed the bar and had a great selection of drinks at affordable prices! Communication was great with Lin who also visited the venue prior to the Christening just to make sure how I wanted things to be set up! Can’t recommend Lin and her team enough!! Thank you guys for the amazing job you do!”
VANESSA – WEDDING, SEPT 2021
“We were a party of 10 female friends staying in holiday accommodation in Milverton, Somerset. We had been sorely let down at the last minute by a private dining company. Our host recommended ‘lapfoodandbars.co.uk‘. We made contact with Lin at Lapfood with only one week to go. Lin was able to fit us in but she had to work fast re menus, dietary requirements, etc., etc., especially as we wanted to have a 3 course meal with additional options and Lin herself had 2 weddings on that same weekend. All we can say is that she worked a miracle and she served up a gorgeous meal from beginning to end bringing everything that was required, providing perfect service, taking away any rubbish and stacking and switching on our dishwasher before she left – we had absolutely nothing to do other than to enjoy fabulous food, great service and Lin’s good humour. Thank you Lin – you made a very special holiday memory for us all – Lin and Lapfood have our 5 star badge for sure!”
TILLY AND FRIENDS – PRIVATE DINING, SEPT 2021
“Honestly couldn’t recommend Lin and her team enough.
Worked with us from start to finish to ensure we had the menu we desired. Delivered a flawless service and incredible quality of food.
All our wedding guests commented on how great the food was, thank you Lin for being part of our day.”
CHRIS AND ZOE – WEDDING, SEPT 2021
“Where do we begin?!??! We booked Lin way before the pandemic began and we couldn’t have picked a better person to help us through 2 postponed wedding dates and all the stress that involved. From our tasting way back in 2019 we knew we picked someone who shared the same love for food we had. Lin’s food is amazing. So many of our guests have commented how great it was since the wedding.
Lin is so much more than a caterer. I am a complete control freak and she gave me the complete confidence that she had everything covered when it came to our wedding and she didn’t disappoint. Breakfast, pre-wedding bridal sandwiches, wedding cake, marshmallows, pasties, a well-stocked bar. She thought of it all.
Nothing was too much trouble…
…Special thanks to her amazing team who have been run ragged in the last few months and still managed to provide an amazing service with a friendly smile.Thank you so much again”
LAURA – WEDDING, SEPT 2021

LOUISE – WEDDING, SEPT 2021
“We can’t thank you enough for everything you did to make our day perfect. The food was amazing and everyone has said how much they enjoyed it and how brilliant everything was – particularly your attention to detail for those who had dietary requirements. You made everything so easy for us and we always felt like we were in safe hands with your excellent expertise. We will thoroughly recommend you to anyone we know who is looking for a caterer!

CHARLOTTE AND RYAN – WEDDING, AUG 2021
“Lin and her team are exceptional, we couldn’t recommend them more highly. Lin is so passionate and talented and really does put her all into your event and it very clearly shows. We have had countless comments from our guests saying how amazing the food and the staff were. After being let down by two other caterers, we found Lin and she stepped in with less than 3 weeks to go. She was amazing at sorting out all the details of the catering for our wedding, being very accommodating, and managing the whole event. We were able to enjoy ourselves knowing with confidence that Lin was making sure everything worked and we can’t thank her enough. We will be recommending LAP Food and Bars to absolutely everyone! Thank you, Lin and team!!!”

JULES – HOLIDAY GUEST, MAY 2021
“Lin and her team catered for the food and bar at our wedding in December 2020. Although it was at a reduced number due to covid restrictions, lin still made it feel ultra special and the food was phenomenal. We have had all guests saying how good the food was, and lin even carved the meat in front of us all to give that added specialty! Lin put up with me emailing hundreds of times (sorry again) with the stress of having to postpone and then bring it forward but she still helped make the day run as smoothly as possible. Food was served hot to all guests and tasted amazing, and all made dairy free. Can’t thank Lin and her team enough for all their help with everything over the last year in the lead-up to our day which was absolutely perfect – highly recommended”

2019 Testimonials
Lin and her team provided the catering for our charity ball recently at The Corn Barn. The food tasted delicious with great variety and dietary requirements were brilliantly catered for. The service was impeccable. Thank you very much for everything- I knew everything would be “on point” with LAP Food and Bars and we were definitely not disappointed.
REBECCA – CHARITY BALL, DEC 2019
“Just WOW. It is a very rare thing in life to meet someone who loves what they do and are exceptionaly good at it. This applies to Lin and her team in every way. The food at our wedding was fantastic and the staff were wonderful, so charming and professional …… All of our guests were amazingly taken care of – endless food and booze. That was just the start of it.. Lin and her team made sure everything throughout the whole day ran smoothly – we had no worries whatsoever, Lin said she would take care of everything and she literally did! LAP provided the staff to run our home made bar and they were fantastic – a bar with 360 degrees serving space! Lin and her husband Paul are just charming – the whole wedding process was seamless from our first meeting to the big day. Lin was on hand for the whole week in the run up to our wedding, popping in to see if she could help with anything and getting involed with the chaos.
One more thing to add… when Lin said her team would clear up after the wedding we were blown away when Dom and I returned on Sunday morning to see there was nothing to do, even the tea lights had been taken out of the jam jars from the archs and put away neatly into boxes!
We cannot recommend LAP enough, if you want a perfect wedding with zero stress then choose Lin. We are trying to plan our next party to recreate this all over again with Lin and her team!!”

“Lin, Paul and the team catered for our wedding this month – we honestly couldn’t recommend them enough from our initial enquiry last August to the early hours of the day after our wedding the attention to detail didn’t stop! We had canapés, roast beef and a selection of deserts – loads of people commented it was the best roast they had ever had and definitely the best roast potatoes! We went for fish and chips in the evening and all I can say is WOW they were amazing! It wasn’t just the food but the numerous little ideas that Lin came up with to make our day just a little bit different – having done 8 events in 10 days I honestly don’t know how you guys did it! We can’t thank LAP enough for everything- if you want a catering team that go above and beyond these are your guys.
AMY – WEDDING, JULY 2019

RICHARD & LAURA – WEDDING, SEPT 2016
“I would like to thank Lin and Paul for the professional service. The tables but eye-catching. Cutlery and glasses precision placed on lily white linen. Robin and Katie had chosen roast beef Yorkshire pudding and trimming for the main course followed by a platter of mixed sweets. The food really did happen ‘wow’ factor, hot plates a plenty with incredible tenderness and taste. The delicate meringues, slices of sponge slices plus cream brought one close to gluttony.
Thank you to the ladies that waited on table. Their team work, pleasant attitude and groomed appearance was a credit to the all. The Hog Roast and trimmings which was organised for the evening, again maintained the high standard. Congratulations Paul on building your drinks bar. It adds a touch of class to any environment. Guests always remember the food and you certainly delivered. You make it seem easy but I know there’s a lot of work behind the scenes. Thank you.”

KAT & JONNY – WEDDING, JULY 2016
“Lin and her team were exceptional from beginning to end. Their service was impeccable, their organisation could not be faulted and the food as delicious. Nothing was too much trouble, including last minute dietary requirements from guests as late as the night before. We were impressed from the beginning by how Lin went well beyond what you would expect from a wedding catering service. She took an active part in helping us with the management and organisation of the event, thoroughly familiarised herself with the venue, liaised with their representatives and with us, was always a helpful ear at the end of the phone or email. We knew we were in good hands from the beginning. This continued after the event when she left the venue absolutely spotless after serving a delicious brunch to overnight guests – some of whom were leaving very early in the day and had complex food orders of their own … Not least, her food was superb – we had nothing but praise from all our guests. We simply could not recommend her enough!”
