Inspiration to Reality

In the Victorian era one would trust Cook to know the best butchers, fishmongers, greengrocers, spice merchants, and so on; she would judge the quality of the produce on offer and if it didn’t meet her exacting standards, then watch out.  We work in the same way.  Our ingredients are selected, not merely delivered.  If our preferred supplier can’t provide goods that satisfy our exacting requirements we go elsewhere. Think of Croxford's as your own ‘Mrs Bridges’ and team, your own personal cook and serving staff.   

Our food is special (see some of our clients comments below).  Not so visually stunning that you are afraid to spoil it; nor so expensive that you have to convince yourself that it must be worth it. It’s just very, very good. Really. 

We only use foods in season and will not tolerate the use of so-called fresh vegetables that have flown half way around the world before arriving on your plate.  We make everything ourselves from basic ingredients with the result that, once tasted, our food is never forgotten.  Try it – satisfaction guaranteed.  

Some of the client’s comments we have received; 

“What a memorable day, I fretted over many things, but NOT ONCE did I worry over the catering because we all knew it would be perfect – and – it was.”

(Brides mother – June 2008) 

“How can I thank you enough for making my son’s wedding so very delicious and memorable. We enjoyed a quintessential English Wedding Breakfast, only to be spoiled with the Italian Menu in the evening.  Wonderful!  I am still receiving compliments and enquiries from so many of my very replete and satisfied guests.”

(Grooms mother – June 2008) 

“Thank you so much for looking after us on Friday and Saturday.  Apart from the excellent food it really took the pressure off the two of us and enabled us to enjoy the celebrations.  The flowers for the table were amazing too!”

(Bride and Groom – May 2008) 

“Thank you for the wonderful food served by your lovely girls on our wedding day.  You have received so many compliments for all your hard work, which we were delighted with.”

(Bride and Groom – June 2008) 

“I would like to say a massive thank you to you and your team, all of whom were wonderful.  The food went down exceptionally well and the compliments were flowing.”

(Wedding Planner – July 2008) 

“The lunch was lovely and very much enjoyed by our guests.  It is difficult to know which dishes were most admired - but it all came in for high praise – and the service was really excellent.”

(Tea and Luncheon parties - June 2008) 

“We had planned our wedding for many years and in our mind’s eye knew exactly how it should be, and how wonderful you fulfilled that dream!  Thank you for innovative food, excellent service and  a charmed evening.”

(Groom – December 2007) 

“Luncheon was a huge success and the food was fabulous.  All the guests were very impressed – especially one of them, who was a finalist in the BBC “Master Chef” TV series and was very enthusiastic over the menu, particularly the chocolate pudding!”

(Thames Valley Police HQ luncheon – December 2007) 

“The food you provided today was delicious – thank you so very much. I really appreciate the care that you took and the fact that you leave the kitchen (even better than) as you found it. 

(Corporate Golf function – November 2007) 

“Most enjoyable, not only interesting, but gastronomically wonderful too.  The canapés were probably the best I’ve ever had.”
