Hope you’re well! We just wanted to send a message to say a MASSIVE thank you for the absolutely brilliant job you and your team did on Saturday!! We’ve had floods of compliments about the food from everyone…even the staunch meat eaters who were joking about ordering their own burger van for the night! My brothers don’t even count a meal as complete unless there is meat, and they wouldn’t stop talking about it (or about how full they were, which they were very excited about for a wedding!).
The servers and bar staff were so kind and attentive; we really appreciated their thoughtfulness and diligence throughout the day.
Apologies for a very much delayed email as we had gone into a really busy time after the wedding, however it remained in our minds and hearts that we really wanted to thank you for delivering such an amazing and delicious culinary experience during our wedding. Our guests (including our non-vegetarian guests, which is always a great joy!), as well as ourselves, were highly impressed with the food selection and enjoyed it thoroughly, from the first aromas of the food being cooked to the last bites. On top of the excellent food selection, the staff have delivered exceptional service which we truly appreciated.
Jake & Toar, Wedding Celebration, Kingsworth Manor, Tadworth, August 2023

University of Surrey, canapé catering in Brighton, July 2023
We had the most wonderful day last week, the food really was outstanding. Everyone has told us how much they enjoyed the food, it really blew us away! Your team were fantastic and so attentive. Please pass on our thanks to everyone! It was such a pleasure having you there, you were so relaxed and calm about everything that we had no worries at all about the day!
Ruby & Luke, Michelham Priory, East Sussex, July 2023
How do I begin to thank you for the extraordinary food you made for my 60th birthday?I had a hunch that it would be marvellous, but was on the day blown away by the abundance, the deliciousness, the subtlety and all round classiness of your food.I was also very impressed by the lightness of your touch at the venue, and your fabulous staff. For me, it was utterly perfect, for which, as a lifelong foodie, I thank you profoundly.
Victoria Gould, Birthday Celebrations, Saltdean, November 2022

Wedding catering canapés and sharing platters, for 70 in Canterbury August 2021
Hi Team!
I just wanted to reach out to say that you’re AMAZING!!
I was a guest at Tom & Maxine’s wedding on the 26th of June – the food and service was incredible, gorgeous, delicious, amazing… all the good words!!! I’ve been dreaming about those macaroni bites ever since and listing everything we ate to anyone I talk to! Even my husband (whom I can rarely sneak spinach on his plate apart from in a juice) loved the spanakopita.
I’ve been vegan for 3 years, I’m a cook and have always worked in the food sectors – what you’re producing is absolutely wonderful – approachable, relaxed, familiar and utterly delicious! This is also the first fully vegan wedding I’ve been to and it was an absolute joy! Carry on creating!

Many thanks
J Adams, hot & cold buffet @ Syracuse University, Holborn, London, December 2017
Thank you so much for last night – you and your team were lovely, and we so appreciate your hard work! We realise it was a bit of an unusual event, and we made a lot of asks of you with ethics statements, discussion contribution, last-minute risk assessments, etc. You were an absolute pleasure to collaborate with, and I’m already looking forward to having you back for our End-of-Year Awards (I say even as I actively eat delicious leftovers).
The food went over incredibly well, and really fit in with the event theme. Compliments abounded from our attendees, with several community partner guests particularly impressed. We also had students with allergies and dietary restrictions say “this is the most inclusive buffet I have ever been served and able to eat”. Another of our student speakers who is a rather avid meat eater had complained to me for weeks about our menu – and then was blown away and begged for leftovers. So thank you for making that possible!
Rebecca Farnum, hot & cold buffet for 100 @ Syracuse University, Holborn, London, November 2017
Really did want to say many many many thanks for the amazing catering and service at Michelle & Dom’s wedding. Everyone did a wonderful job, every part of the catering was delicious and the service was seamless. This was particularly impressive when you had an whole load of unexpected jobs landed on you at the meeting about 10 days before … and then there were some reasonably major changes on the day … all of which you dealt with great cheerfulness.
Will write a proper thank you later but we’re off to Uganda for a couple of weeks now and did want to get in touch before then to say much we appreciated all your hard work, advice and support.
With all good wishes and our thanks once again
Faith (mother of the bride), Wedding Celebration for 80, canapés, 4 course meal & falafel station, Hendall Manor Barns, August 2017
Dear John, Thank you so much for your wonderful catering at our wedding! The food was amazing and all of your staff were lovely! We had so many people tell us how great the food was! I heard also you were delayed because of the crash on the motorway – I had no idea! You guys still managed to get the food out on time – I’m so impressed!!
Nadia MPT, Wedding Celebration for 180, table buffets, Springfield Lake, Oxfordshire, July 2017
John, just wanted to thank you and your team for your hard work on the 8th July. We had lots of fantastic comments including many along the lines of: “best wedding meal ever”! The buffet even managed to change the minds of Ruth’s cattle farming family (all staunch meat-eaters) – they all said how much they enjoyed it. So yes, we were overjoyed with how it went and how easy your team made everything run on the day.
Matt & Ruth, Wedding Buffet for 160, Eco Pavilion, Mile End, July 2017
Hi John, I hope you are all recovered from the business of Sunday! Thank you so much again for providing such delicious food, and such lovely staff, to make our day so special. We’ve been hearing wonderful things about the catering from our guests, and although I was too excited to eat very much on the day myself, I really enjoyed what I did!
Michal & Sam, Wedding Celebration for 220, Canapés plus 3 course table buffets, RHS Lindley Hall, Pimlico, April 2017

Feeling epic! Caroline and Tom were fantastic.Please thank them again from me wont you.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and your team for doing such a fantastic job on the food over the retreat. And for being so gracious with the extra ‘hecticness’ that having babies around entailed!
I would love to work with you again for future events. Thanks so much again!
Suzanne Cork, Mother & baby yoga retreat, Brooklands Barn, Arundel, March 2017
Just a note to thank you, again, for looking after us so wonderfully this weekend. The food was utterly scrumptious and I’m sure has opened a few minds to the delights of vegetarian cooking – the flavours, the presentation, the contrasting textures, the colour… we couldn’t have asked for a better culinary experience for our retreat!
All the ladies have been so complimentary on the private FB group we’ve set up, posting their pics of the food and enthusing about your incredible food…
Your service and wonderfully calm and relaxing manner were just perfect too – while Zoe and I were racing around doing our hosting bit, it was a real help knowing that you had everything under control your end.
Charlotte Colliver, Pilates Retreat, Brooklands Barn, Arundel January 2017
The retreat went really well, thanks very much. The food was amazing and Tom was as helpful as ever, he really adds to the positive experience for the guests. In fact, the whole thing went so well that I’m currently looking at booking at least 8 dates for next year so I am hoping you will be happy to cater for them.
Paws For Thought Retreats, East Sussex, September 2016
Dear John. On behalf of all of us I just would like to say a big thank you for your wonderful food and all the hard work you and your team put in. We had so many great comments and compliments on the food that we all feel really happy about choosing you. The whole day surpassed our expectations and you certainly played your part in that.We wish you all the best in the future and hope your business goes from strength to strength – you deserve it. Once again, many thanks. Andrew and Felicity
Parents of the Bride,Wedding Celebration, Shillingstone House, Blandford Forum, August 2016
I attended the wedding of Grace and Alex at the weekend and was extremely impressed by the food you served. I’m not vegetarian but would wholeheartedly consider asking you to cater at any function I plan in the future so will be keeping your details. There were some dishes that I’m desperate to recreate at home – I am pregnant and anything great I eat at the moment I immediately want to start eating daily!! The sandwiches in the lunch hampers and those ‘non sausage rolls’. Also the dips served with the evening food. If you are able to help at all I would be massively grateful.
I have not ever felt that great after wedding food – it was really tasty and felt lovely and healthy.
A very big thank you. Suzanne x
Guest, Wedding Celebration, Shillingstone House, Blandford Forum, August 2016
Cashew Catering are a delight to work with. So kind and helpful, offering delicious solutions to the different dietary requirements our retreats require. Their chefs are superb – cool, calm and unflappable in the kitchen, and extremely creative and talented with the ingredients. The food is always divine and beautifully presented, made with love and good humour. We love working with them and cannot recommend them enough. Thanks John!
Will Williams Meditation Retreats, East Sussex, 2016
I was lucky enough to have four fabulous days of Cashew catering when on a yoga retreat. John always prepared the most delicious vegetarian meals, inventive and varied. He needs to write a book!
Gillian Davey. (Nurse), Adelene Cheong Yoga Retreat at Brooklands Barn, Arundel July 2016
Thank you very much for catering so beautifully for us during our retreat. Everyone raved about the food, and Tom and yourself, you both really helped incredibly in making our event a success.
Julie Lindsay, Paws For Thought Retreats, Waldron, East Sussex, June 2016
The food was *amazing* and everybody commented on it and asked who the caterers were – thanks so much. It was also so great to just have veggie/vegan/gf, I know everybody appreciated that. Thanks for being so helpful and providing such a fantastic spread.
Tom, Sussex University Event for 120, 20th May 2016
Just wanted to drop you a quick email before we head off on honeymoon to say a massive thank-you for saturday. The food was absolutely delicious, your staff were great and we got loads of compliments on the food, even from some of our hardcore meat eater friends which I think is a really great compliment!I hope you are well!
Katie & Paul, Full Wedding Service for 85 at Brixton East, London – April 2016
The team were incredible, we were completely blown away by them! They were so friendly and professional, I think I wouldn’t have even known they were there if heaps of amazing food hadn’t kept appearing!
And they even thought to make tea for my very chilly Nana, which was exceptionally thoughtful!
I am so glad it all went so well, hopefully they were not too thrown by the house or the weather! (If they were they didn’t let it show!)
Thank you to you and your team, you really made our day!
Stephanie, Wedding Celebration for 50 in Whitstable, April 2016
I just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you for accomodating my diet during our yoga trip. The food was absolutely amazing and has really inspired me to cut out meat even more. Now, if only I had access to a cookbook with all your delicious recipes 🙂
Claire, Yoga Retreat @ Brooklands Barn, April 2016
Just a really quick note – I have had people continually telling me how much they enjoyed the party. Each time particularity they mention the food!!
Personally it met and surpassed my exceptions – so big thank you.
50th Birthday Party – Canapes, Barbecue (yes in Feb!), buffet, cakes & chocolates, Alton 27th Feb 2016
Dear John, this is just a little note to say a big thank you for a really great day on Saturday.
My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our day at the vegan fine dining course – it was informative, interesting and challenging, whilst still being huge fun. Paula was really helpful too, and the small number of people involved was just right for the day.
You were completely prepared, and thoroughly on top of your game – all the while making us feel comfortable, encouraged and only helping out when needed. We will be heartily recommending Cashew to all our friends.
Best wishes from us both, Henry & John
Vegan Fine Dining Cookery Class, Lewes 13th Feb 2016
Thank you! It was amazing. Tom made really beautiful, nutricious, delicious
food and we were extremely well fed and grateful. He was also a real
delight to be around. The venue host also noted and little waste there was
in contrast to other caterers.
We will definitely be in touch and look forward to working with you again.
Thank you!
Una, 5 day Mindfulness Retreat for 17 guests, Sefton Place, Arundel, September 2015

You guys have been a total pleasure to work with and we’ll hopefully be repeating a similar weekend this time next year if you’re up for it?

Once again thank you
Chloe, The bride, Wedding Reception in Sussex – September 2014
Thanks so much for providing the most amazing food. Everyone said how great it was which is brilliant as I know there were many sceptics when we said it would be vegan. You truly are passionate about food and are masters in what you do.
Thanks once again
Jean, Tom’s (the groom) Mum, Wedding Celebration August 2014
I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed and appreciated the food at Cameron and Cathy’s wedding on Friday. It was so exciting to be able to eat everything and I particularly enjoyed the taste and presentation of the food. My favourite was the Southern Style Seitan and the excellent chocolate cake.
It was the best wedding food I have ever eaten and possibly the best vegan food I have eaten (and I have eaten a lot of vegan food in my time…)
Thank you!
Thanks also for the cling film to help me to put the cake into tuppaware – your care and attention was much appreciated.
With very best wishes
Sarah- Jane, Wedding Reception at The Garden Museum Cafe, Lambeth, London – July 2014
If these #rawchocolate #truffles were the only reason i came to #VegFestBrighton today, then I won’t be I bit upset! OMG I wish on every human being to try the raspberry peach truffles from the #CashewCatering stand ASAP!
Tanya @ Better Raw, Vegfest March 2014
I have just come back from the yoga retreat at Tilton House and am missing your incredible food already. Thank you so much for all the delicious treats and tasty dinners. They really were exceptional, I have never tasted vegetarian food like it.
Please get your cookery book out ASAP – the world needs your food!!
Much love & appreciation

“OMG it was SOOO delicious. Everyone was singing its praises and thinking I am amazing for sourcing you so to speak… I bought loads of tupperwares in – excellent forward thinking of me – so we could take home the leftovers for dinner. I am supposed to be on a diet but had 2 bits of the rhubarb cake and a huge wedge of the choccy one….uh oh.”
Sussex University Lunch, March 2013

I only wish I could have eaten more! Thank you a million times. If at all helpful I would love you to use our experience as a testimonial for your website – I cannot thank you or praise the food enough.”

His passion, knowledge and enthusiasm in plant based cuisine soared over the other finalists in the competition, which was immediately recognized and his calmness and attention to detail shone through. “
Chad Sarno, Executive Head Chef Saf, Shoreditch, London.
“We gather around the table in the garden for a delicious bean chilli with cashew cream. The food for the whole weekend was a revelation! So hard to do justice with words. Everything was vegetarian or vegan and expertly prepared by resident chef, John who catered to the various food requirements among the group. Speech is replaced by lots of satisfied noises around the table with one lady determined to get that cashew cream recipe by the end of the weekend.”
Sally Parkes Yoga Retreat at Tilton House June 2011

B Lloyd, Gluten Free Cookery Session for the Lewes Bread Club, Dec 2011
“Thank you so much for that delicious recipe – I have only become a vegan a couple of months ago (after 30 odd years as a vegetarian) – I was so afraid, that it would all be doom and gloom from now on, but after having tasted that christmas cake, I realize it’s the “knowing how” to put things together that’s been missing,because in the western world we are lucky to have all the ingredients one needs !!! I will come to one of your courses – that one is certain!”

We wish you all best for the future ‘
Hannah & Vincent, wedding 100 people
“The food at Tilton House is surely deserved of a Michelin Star! I cannot describe the taste sensation that was fully vegan in its ingredients. Now, I may occasionally go for the veggie option in a restaurant but as a fully functioning carnivore, vegan food would never cross my mind. Think again! If I could take the Tilton House chef home with me, I would – this food was exquisite! Our first meal came entirely from the garden and throughtout the weekend we were treated to the delights of soups and flat breads, garden burgers and cakes galore, plus the most incredible chocolate brownies I have ever eaten and yes, they were vegan too!”
Amy Harker, the Green and Newsletter Editor of Stylebible.com
