Thank you all so much for making our wedding day complete! You were so warm & friendly to our guests, professional & helpful too. The food was outstanding and consistent. Our guests were very impressed! Viv - thank you for your excellent communication before and during the day, we really loved our experience. - The Stevens

At Fennel & Clove Catering, we focus on one thing: serving food we care about that guests talk about long after the day is over. The kind that gets called “the best wedding food.”

We cook from the fire and the field—smoky cuts of meat, hearty veg and vegan dishes that stand on their own, and colourful sides piled with herbs, texture, and wild florals. From slow-smoked brisket and shared roasties to rough-chopped salads, charred vegetables, and honest, homemade plates, we make food that feels like you, using seasonal ingredients from the growers we trust.
