Douglas Willis Catering were fantastic! We asked them to provide a selection of pies and pasties for our wedding.

They offered a variety of options for us to choose from, they provided the exact number of each variation, they delivered them warm exactly on time at the event and all of the food was absolutely delicious. Our guests loved them! If you want a no nonsense, excellent quality guaranteed service, I highly recommend Lisa and Douglas Willis Catering.

Lisa is amazing!


Douglas Willis provided the catering for our wedding. Lisa who oversees their events could not have done more to help us, especially in the midst of Corona virus making everything more difficult.


When we had to change our plans, they worked with us to find a solution. Very good with dietary requirements. Lots of compliments about the quality of the meat etc..
