Matthew catered for our Ruby Wedding celebration a few weeks ago for about 70 guests in a local church hall. We opted for a hot-fork buffet with beef bourguignon and vegetable stroganoff, with rice, salad, and baguettes, followed by berries and cream. The food was delicious – the beef especially received a lot of compliments from our guests – and the service couldn't have been better. Kevin the chef was first rate – very helpful and accommodating, and the two waitresses were excellent – friendly and helpful. All the clearing up was done efficiently, and the kitchen left immaculate. Matthew was very helpful from the outset guiding us through the various options, and very patient over the ever-changing guest count.
We would have no hesitation about using Matthew again and can highly recommend MJT Catering for your hospitality requirements.

Thank you for catering for my friend's husband's wake last Thursday.The food was fresh, plentiful, well presented and drew much praise from everyone who came, about 60 people. The care and dedication you showed was exemplary, remembering the different dietary needs and mindful of the occasion.The pre-occasion visit you made was so helpful in making the decision on which foods to choose for the finger buffet and we were glad to have followed your advice with both hot and cold choices. On the day, the food was delivered promptly and professionally, with the foods labelled appropriately for dietary needs. The dietary information sheets were very useful.Your help in setting up the tables (and the photographs!) was very much appreciated.The post occasion follow up was a lovely touch and I was pleased to pass on to Sue your concern. You made everything so easy for us and took away any concern we would have had about providing food for the family and friends. I would definitely recommend MJT Catering for any function.With very best wishes,Gillian October 27, 2025
Matthew catered for my husbands wake and I would just like to say that the food was lovley,plentiful and he and his wife were very kind and professional. The day would have been so much more stressful if I had not had MJT CATERING there. I would highly recommend them.
Thank you.Janet Kingsbury London September 1, 2025
MJT Catering provided the evening barbeque for our Son and Daughter in law's wedding reception. The food was excellent, the Tandoori Chicken and Sweat Chili Chicken being a particular hit with our guests.
Matthew was extremely helpful during the pre-wedding preparations and came to our house to discuss and advise on the options for the Barbeque and to provide samples of the meat choices. MJT also provided excellent vegetarian alternatives for our guests on the evening.
The salads and rolls etc provided were also excellent and disposable plates and cutlery were provided. All in all we were extremely pleased with the service and our 80 or so guests were extremely complimentary about the food. I would not hesitate to recommend MJT Catering for any such event.
Once again to the whole team at MJT catering, a huge thank you!
Nick August 20, 2025
Matthew and his team did me proud with a barbecue for 60+ in mid June.
We had guests arriving at various hours and needed a service that was flexible.
His first contribution was to help shape the practicalities and organisation of the event.
The main event on the day went off to everyone's satisfaction with many positive comments.In summary, Matthew delivers proper old school customer service and quality.
All his team were nice people, who demonstrated care for doing a good job.
And all of this provided at excellent value for money.I have no hesitation in providing this testimonial. Thank you.

What a fabulous spread so much to choose from very fresh & the cakes where amazing
Thank you very much Matthew great communication throughout you advised well.Tina peacock Uxbridge January 31, 2025
From the first contact, Matthew was very helpful and understood our buffet requirements for a 90th birthday party. He came to our house to chat about what was needed, and kept in touch before the actual day. We were guided by him on combinations of sandwiches, finger foods (hot and cold) as well as what was possible in gluten free and vegetarian options. On the day, the platters were very well presented and labelled, the hot food came in a hotbox and we were delighted with the generous size of the portions!!
We would definitely recommend MJT as a reliable and friendly company, committed to providing great value for money and a gorgeous selection of fresh and tasty food. Thank you Matthew!!
The Martins January 10, 2025
Matthew did the catering for my husband's funeral. I am happy to recommend MJT catering if you want a totally reliable company which is totally committed to giving what the customer asks and is a perfectionist in all the delicious food options.
Matthew labelled all the food as some attendees had allergies, the platters of food were well presented and a key advantage of MJT catering is they give exceptionally generous portions.
The whole catering was very fairly priced, fresh and wholesome.
Catherine Fison Windsor December 6, 2024
We used MJT catering for our joint 50th birthday. Matthew was quick to respond to my query and discussed possible buffet options. He was very helpful to guide us as to the best combinations of food to meet the needs of the attendees. What impressed me most was when he and a colleague delivered the food he had stored the hot and cold aspects in containers that kept them fresh and room time to set up and check all of the food before leaving. He also left allergen lists for the attendees to refer to if required. The attendees commented on the great selection, quantity and quality of the food.Friendly and helpful and extremely professional, would definitely return to MJT catering for any party or event in the future. Thank you Matthew and team. The food was all eaten and the feedback was flattering to me as a host of the party!Louise Lissaman September 17, 2024
I booked MJT Catering to supply a cold buffet lunch for 50 people, who would be attending an important family event. From the first ‘phone call Matthew was very helpful and understood my requirements. He came round to my home to chat and make notes about what was needed, and continued to keep in touch before the actual day.
He was happy to liaise with one of my neighbours who let him into my home, so that the food would be here when we returned …. and what a wonderful spread it was! Little flags denoted the contents of the sandwiches, wraps, bagels etc., and I was delighted to see on the table a couple of charts indicating the dishes and their allergen content, which was extremely useful for my guests.
I would like to thank Matthew, and I would be more than happy to use his company, MJT Catering, again.Jean, St Albans September 17, 2024
The BBQ Food was perfect for our Summer Party and went down very well. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed and thank you for catering for all the dietary requirements we had.Many thanks and would highly recommend you as you were easy to deal with.Wendy Chalfont St Giles July 24, 2024

I can't thank Matthew enough for making everything so easy and providing a lovely, varied and tasty buffet. From start to finish everything went according to plan and Matthew really understood what we wanted. Communication was really good and Matthew was very professional. All our guests commented on how lovely the food was, and said they would definitely use MJT Catering should they need a caterer. Thank you Matthew!
Joanna November 27, 2023
I just wanted to drop you a message to thank you SO much for the amazing catering at my daughters christening party.

All the food was presented so nicely and communication before the day was great.

MJT Catering supplied the buffet for my birthday party, and I was more than pleased with their service. The booking process was easy. Communication good throughout, the food arrived on time, was arranged professionally and was fresh and of good quality. I would certainly recommend, and use again.
Deb Lancaster May 19, 2023
I would like to thank Matthew for catering for my mum's funeral. The food was excellent and there was plenty of it. The spring rolls and halloumi kebabs were a particular favourite with everyone. All the china was provided in the morning and he was waiting for us with the food when we returned home after the funeral service.
He helped make a difficult day go smoothly.
I would definitely recommend him.
Ann Smith Watford February 3, 2022
Matthew catered for our garden barbecue recently and we were very happy with the service provided. Choice of plenty of meats and salads, plus he was happy to accommodate additional requests. He provided cutlery and crockery hire, and brought a waitress with him on the day, which added to the event and meant as hosts we could relax completely. The food was well received by all, and service was with a smile. Very happy to recommend.
Sharat July 5, 2021
I just wanted to pass on a HUGE thank you from me and my team for the brilliant catering at such short notice over the weekend.
The
cast and crew we had on set all commented on how lovely the food was,
and how professional the entire catering set up was. (The
chicken-bacon-Caesar and cheese-and-chutney sandwiches and coleslaw and
cous-cous were particular favourites!).
Needless
to say we'll be leaving stellar reviews on all the websites, but we'll
definitely keep your info in case we need any catering in the future.
Thanks again, hope you have a great week!Kara London August 13, 2019

Maria Ruislip June 23, 2019

wide range of ages for which MJT catered for really effectively .The
food was hot, fresh and so tasty.The guests were very complimentary
about the range of food available which accommodated the various dietary
requirements and tastes.The portions were really good , allowing
guests to return for at least 1 if not more times. Matthew and his
team were excellent from start to finish ,the chef came with Matthew the
week of the event to familiarise himself with our set up,he returned on
the day to bring the food and set it up.The serving team Maureen,Sue
and Belinda were amazing,they anticipated our needs and were quick ,
efficient ,unobtrusive throughout the whole party.
I can't speak too highly of MJT caterers.Thank you all !Maureen Hemley Oxhey June 9, 2019

A massive thanks to Matthew and the team, for the wonderful catering that he provided for my daughters 21st Birthday last Saturday. There was a great selection of food for everyone and a particular call out for the BBQ Chicken drumsticks, they were an absolute triumph. Great company to deal with, who made it easy to organise everything. Thanks once again.

Thank you Matthew for your fantastic service and your amazing food!
Everyone here at Camelot looks forward to when you will be next coming
back. Thank you for going above and beyondKristy Watford December 13, 2017
MJT Catering played a key role in making our annual xmas party (West
Drayton MBC) special. Delicious lasagne satisfied 35 cyclists and their
partners. I was very impressed that the needs of a person with
gluten/wheat free diet were fully met. There was an abundance of yummy
new potatoes, scrumptious salad, French bread and a wide selection of
cheese and biscuits to finish with (Menu 1 from Hot Fork Buffet).
Pre-event phone conversations were to the point and instilled lots of
confidence in the service that was to be delivered. I was not
disappointed, what happened on the night of the event was highly
professional and swift. There was an even after the event follow up
phone call. Good value for money. Overall verdict: 10 out of 10!Gosia McPherson Uxbridge December 10, 2017
Matthew did the catering for a small party held at my house on 3rd June 2017. This is the second party i have held that Matthew has done the catering for and I would fully recommend MJT catering to anyone. The food was plentiful and delicious. It was delivered on time and set out by Matthew.
Matthew supplied a bespoke menu exactly as I'd requested. I can't recommend MJC Catering more highly. Will be using them again in the future.Lesley Fullman June 7, 2017
Excellent service. Great food, highly recommended.
Sally Miles May 8, 2017
I wish to recommend Matthew and mjtcatering.
I recently held a family lunch for 12 people, and mjt catering supplied quite a large number of dishes of food to my order. The food was exactly as requested, delivered on time, and proved to be excellent: well-cooked, tasty, and hot. Cutlery and plates were included, and Matthew collected the used items later in the afternoon.
Very convenient and absolutely no hassle.
The price was very reasonable.
I would use mjt catering again without question."
Mike Barnes May 6, 2017
I found MJT Catering from an internet search. Not having used caterers before, I found Matthew to be very helpful, giving lots of suggestions and options, and enabling me to make great choices. He was very flexible, both during the planning stages and on the day, and his team were all very helpful and polite. We were able to be very relaxed about all catering issues during the event - which was my 50th birthday party for 85 guests. Matthew did a great job, and we felt the package was great value for money as well. I can heartily recommend Matthew and his team."
Judith Ballard Watford April 22, 2017
Matthew did the catering for our mum's funeral, just before Christmas.
He was happy to make the changes we requested, and contact the hall directly to make arrangements so that when we got there everything was ready for us. All the food was lovely, and the cakes were still nice even a week or so after Christmas when I discovered some in the fridge.
Thank you Matthew for taking care of everything for us, it was good to have one thing less to think about at such a difficult time.
Pauline Olohan January 9, 2017
Nothing was too much trouble for Matthew and the team, even at short notice. Everything was carried out with the highest efficiency and to an excellent standard.
I look forward to calling upon the services of MJT Catering in the future."
Best wishes,

I'd like to thank Matthew very much for the excellent BBQ on my 50th birthday party. Matthew and his team were extremely professional and got on with the job in-hand, leaving me to enjoy the evening with my friends. Before the party, Matthew brought round samples and made suggestions on the catering based on his previous experience. I highly recommend MJT Catering and would have no hesitation in using them for any further functions that arrive. Thank you once again.
Jane July 27, 2016
I would like to thank you for all the food you provided for my fathers funeral, the food was excellent, and so many of my family/friends thought your home made sausage rolls was delicious. I will keep all your details as I may contact you in the future!
Rose Murphy July 8, 2016
I found Matthew and his team on the internet and had no personal recommendations but I am really glad I used MJT for my 60th birthday barbecue. I did not know how caterers would cope with feeding 85 guests in a back garden but he had it all under control. Matthew was happy to pop round and look at the garden beforehand and discuss with me what I would like, and he organised hiring all the crockery and glasses too. On the night the food was all well cooked and of excellent quality and I have had so many people saying how much they enjoyed the barbecue, the salads and the puddings. Even a torrential downpour just before the barbecues were about to be lit was handled with no panic and I was able to enjoy my party and leave all the food in the hands of the professionals, just as I wanted. Thanks Matthew and his team, and I would have no hesitation in recommending you or using you again.
Rachel Brennan Watford July 8, 2016
Used Matthew to do catering for a Christening. Good person to deal with and very happy with the efficiency of the service, the quality, quantity, and price of the food provided. Highly Recommended.
Mary Brown Ruislip October 13, 2015
Matthew provided the catering for my small birthday party. The food was fresh and tasty and of such generous proportions. Matthew arrived before time with the food and everything was set up ready for us. Everyone remarked on how lovely the food was and I have no hesitation recommending MJT catering to anyone who needs a catering service. I shall certainly be using them for any future parties I hold. Thankyou Matthew for an excellent service.
Lesley Fullman Ruislip May 11, 2015
Matthew and his team at MJT Catering are everything you could ask for in supplying all your catering needs. Helpful, efficient and also flexible, nothing is too much trouble. They have great range of food, the ploughman’s is very popular here. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
Amanda Watford April 24, 2015
I found MJT caterers online after a last minute problem with catering for our photoshoot that was taking place in Hemel Hempstead, however the lateness of the order was no problem for Matthew. The deliveries over the two days arrived bang on time, and the portion sizes were beyond generous. We certainly didn't leave feeling hungry! The food was fresh and tasty – exactly what we needed after a long mornings work.
Thank you!Rebecca Vincett Warwickshire June 18, 2014
I would like to thank you for the excellent catering that you undertook for us at such short notice supplied for our recent
course - as always the quality and quantity of the food supplied was very good.The feedback from our delegates remarked on the super quality and quantity of the buffet. Also I would like to say that the timekeeping is always spot on.
Thank you for the excellent catering you always supply, and I would have no hesitation in recommending your company to anyone.

Having used MJT Catering on many occasions, both as a private individual and in my term of office as President of Hertfordshire Indoor Bowls Association, I have no hesitation in recommending their services and in fact have done so several times. I have always found the standard of the food and service excellent.
Alan Lewington Hertfordshire Indoor Bowls Association January 9, 2014
As a newly formed Will writing business, I was looking for a convenient and cost-effective venue for members of the public to come and find out more about making a Will and Lasting Power of Attorneys.
Having attended a number of lunchtime functions with the Watford and West Herts Chamber of Commerce, I could already testify to the excellent lunches that MJT had provided at the Watford Indoor Bowls Club. I discussed my requirements with Matthew and he was very helpful in providing a reasonably priced room with more than adequate refreshments and even 'going the extra mile'
by personally arranging top-ups for my guests and generally making them feel more welcome.I am very grateful to him for his support and have no hesitation in recommending MJT's stewardship and catering skills (and the Watford Indoor Bowls Club as a great local venue).
Shirley Batten Smith Planet Wills Ltd January 9, 2014
I have no reservations when recommending the services of Matthew and the team at MJT, we are regular customers and the service and quality are second to none.

Wednesday Business Networking Group meets weekly with MJT providing around 25 cooked breakfasts. The food is first class, reasonably priced and everyone is happy. Thoroughly recommended!
Charlie Kenny, Wednesday Business Networking Group January 9, 2014
Matthew has catered for us on many occasions, both large and small functions. We have always been entirely delighted with the food produced on all occasions. We are confident that Matthew is conscientious and cooks under the most hygienic conditions, using fresh produce in a cost effective manner. He is very efficient and his presentation is always first class. Matthew always asks for the customers own ideas and requirements and does his best to accommodate these. You will not be disappointed in Matthew's performance.
Celia & Bill Hodnett January 9, 2014
In the economic climate companies are looking to cut their cloth and get value for money, well with MJT Catering you certainly get that. Matthew of MJT Catering was introduced to me by a Watford Chamber of Commerce member who attends breakfast meetings
that Matthew does the catering for and said try him out, which I decided to do and have never looked back. The Chamber Lunch Club run bimonthly meetings at The Watford Indoor Bowls Club, where Matthew does the catering and the food is second to none. He prides himself in his ability to create good food for exceptional value..Lorraine Marshall Events Manager, Watford Chamber of Commerce January 9, 2014
"Thanks to Matthew for the great food and service he provided for my stepson and daughters birthday party. It was a special occasion as they were celebrating their 21st and 18th. The food was unbelievable and everyone commented on how good it was as there was a great variety to choose from as well as fabulous desserts. We also had guests that had a wheat intolerance and he even sourced food that they could also eat and they were so pleased that he went out of his way to do this. Thanks again Matthew for help in making this day special and also for taking away the washing up!!!!!"
