EXCELLENT Based on 14 reviews Posted on Jack ArmstrongTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sizzling Thyme recently catered our small wedding celebration and it was exceptional. Communication was easy and clear, and the logistics on the day were so simple. Fab food, and very friendly people. Can't recommend highly enough!Posted on Priskila HilaryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Julian, Kirsty, and their team were outstanding. They didn’t just cater our wedding—they actively helped ensure the entire day ran smoothly, truly going above and beyond. Our guests still compliment the food and remember it fondly. One thoughtful touch we especially appreciated was that they set aside canapés for the bride and groom, knowing how easy it is to miss them during the day. From the starters and main courses to the evening charcuterie board, everything was exceptional. If you choose them, you can be confident you’re in great hands and will have an amazing experience.Posted on Andy BellamyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing food and service - thanks guys!Posted on Safiyah OlaideTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing company, truly a pleasure to work with from start to finish. I was new in my role at the time, and they were incredibly patient, helpful, and reassuring throughout the entire process. Despite my countless questions and emails, they never once made me feel annoying or silly, which made such a difference and gave me real confidence. The food itself was absolutely divine and prepared to a very high standard, with generous portions that were more than enough for everyone, several people happily went back for seconds. Having them on-site was seamless and stress-free, and the overall experience exceeded expectations. Most importantly, all of our staff were genuinely happy and full of positive feedback. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again and would highly recommend them.Posted on Jodie NettleshipTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
