Wedding Catering in Devon

Devon’s Premier Wedding Caterer: Devon Catering

When couples in Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and across the South West plan their wedding, there are a few things they always hope for: gorgeous ingredients, warm hospitality, something local, and food that guests will still be talking about when they leave. For many, those hopes are met by Devon Catering, a women‑led business under the leadership of Leisa Hood, whose dedication to quality, local sourcing and personal relationships has made the company one of the region’s top wedding caterers.

A Food Love Story, Lead By Leisa Hood

Devon Catering isn’t simply “a caterer”—it’s the realisation of a passion for food, hospitality, and community. Led by Leisa Hood, the team bring years of experience to every wedding, party and event. While the business doesn’t publicise a dramatic “founding tale” full of flash, what shines through in its “Our Story” is a steady commitment to doing things well: fresh food cooked on site, menus updated with local seasons, and adaptability to venues, styles and guest requirements.  Devon Catering, Our Story

What makes Devon Catering particularly special is that it is women‑led. Leisa’s leadership is evident in the way the business treats food, service, and relationships—with care, with detail, and with humility. Their reputation isn’t just built on the flavours on the plate, but on the trust and warmth they cultivate with clients, local producers, venues, and guests alike.

Deep Roots in the South West: Local Producers & Ingredients

One of Devon Catering’s strongest hallmarks is their passion for local sourcing. Being based in Devon gives Leisa and her team the opportunity to build strong relationships with nearby farms, butchers and produce growers. The menus reflect these connections—and the seasons.

Some of the produce highlights and menu items often include:

• Devon‑farmed pork belly served with cider sauce and fresh herbs.

• Free‑range chicken prepared in styles that show off the quality of the meat, paired with seasonal vegetables and fresh sauces.

• Desserts that showcase local fruit—blueberry cheesecake, seasonal berries and apples from our own orchards—all made in house.

• Hand‑crafted canapés, salads, sharing platters and starters that are creative but rooted in what grows or is reared nearby.

Because every dish is prepared fresh and adapted to the season, Devon Catering can offer menus that feel authentic, alive, and connected to place. They refresh their offerings often to pick up on what is freshest, what local producers have available, and what wedding trends couples are excited by.

Tailored Weddings & Service that Sparkle

Part of Devon Catering’s appeal lies in its flexibility. Weddings come in many shapes: a formal, seated wedding breakfast, then evening guests; a marquee or rustic barn or a private home; dietary needs and guest preferences to think about. Devon Catering works closely with couples to ensure the food complements their style—whether that means casual sharing platters, elegant three‑course meals, late snacks, or specially crafted desserts.

They also offer wedding tasting sessions, which give couples a chance to sample dishes, discuss ideas, and refine their menus to suit not just taste but the vision for the day.

The venues they serve also span a broad range: from country houses, marquees, castles, private homes, village halls, even beachside setups. Wherever you are, the Devon Catering team are experienced in adapting their logistics, timing, menu design and service style to match.

The Standard: Excellence in Food and Experience

What really puts Devon Catering in the top tier is that the care shown to ingredients, sourcing, service and presentation is consistent. Across menus, in testimonials, in the many weddings they’ve catered, certain themes emerge:

• Freshness & quality: Everything is prepared fresh; only high‑quality meat from approved local providers is used.

• Creativity with purpose: Their dishes are imaginative, but never gimmicky. Ingredients are allowed to shine, and flavours are balanced with care.

• Attention to detail: From menu design to service timing, from how the food looks on the plate to how guests are attended, Devon Catering strives for that polished, warm, personalised feel.

• Strong feedback: Many couples mention not just how good the food is, but how professional, helpful and friendly the staff are. Comments often highlight how smoothly things run, how catering was integral to making the day memorable.

Why Devon Catering Stands Out As “Premier”

Putting this all together, what makes Devon Catering one of Devon’s premier wedding caterers is this combination:

1. Leadership and vision by someone who cares deeply about food, community, and relationships (that’s Leisa Hood).

2. Rootedness in the South West: not simply using “local” as a buzzword but building real supplier relationships and adapting menus seasonally.

3. Versatility and flexibility, matching menus and service to the clients’ style, the venue, the season, and personal preferences.

4. Consistent high quality in food, service, presentation.

5. Personal touch: from tasting sessions to adapting to guests’ needs, Devon Catering makes couples feel heard and supported.

For any soon‑to‑be married couple looking for catering, these are invaluable assets. Food isn’t just nourishment on a wedding day—it becomes part of the story: what people remember, what people talk about long afterwards. With Devon Catering, couples in Devon and beyond can trust that their food story will be one told with passion, craft, warmth—and of course, amazing flavour.
