Fossil Food Catering
Our Story
Steve and Kirsty live in the idyllic setting of Silverwood Farm in Devon, where they are constantly inspired by their lush countryside surroundings. They are situated just a stone’s throw away from the seaside town of Lyme Regis, famed for its intriguing fossils. Living within the heart of these remarkable settings on the Jurassic Coast means they are able to source the finest local produce available.
Way Back When
Our journey began many years ago, backpacking and taste testing our way around South East Asia, where we dreamed up the idea of our own catering company. Inspired by vibrancy of the people and flavours Fossil Food Catering was born.
Today, we've traded in rattling overnight bus journeys for Wedding Breakfast and filling champagne flutes, but our passion remains the same - people and flavours are still at the heart of everything we do. And when we can, we sneak in the odd foodie trip to keep our inspiration alive!
Entering wedding season number eight as Team Fossil (and many more years for others in the industry too) we have catered for everyone, from intimate gatherings to grand celebrations - including our very own wedding with some help from dear friends. We truly love what we do!
A Personal Touch
At Fossil Food Catering, we believe in more than just delivering amazing food - we believe in building relationships. We understand that trust between a couple and their caterer is crucial. After all, we have recently planned our own wedding, so we have expeirenced firsthand all the hardwork that goes into wedding planning. From the excitement of menu tastings to the last minute changes, we know how important it is to have reliable suppliers who have your back every step of the way.
This is why we see ourselves as more than just your caterer - we're your in-house catering best friend. We are here for every moment from when you first reach out - from creating a fully bespoke menu that feels authentically you, sharing tips to keep your day running smoothly to packing away the very last plate at the end of the night. We have had couples call us at the last moment to adjust serving times or pivot new dietary requests, and we always make it work seamlessly with a smile. Our goal is to take as much off your plate (puns always intended!) as possible so both of you and everyone around you can focus on enjoying the big day.
