We really enjoyed our team social at Papadeli last week, making canapes and then wine tasting while enjoying delicious food made by Kirsty. Simon and Tilly were excellent hosts and looked after us all so well. Would highly recommend!
Lou was fantastic from the moment we chose Papadeli as the catering supplier for our Christmas event at St George’s. Communication throughout was excellent, always responsive, patient, and happy to answer my (many) questions, which made the planning process feel completely stress free! On the night of our Christmas party, the entire Papadeli team were absolutely brilliant. Everyone was so friendly, professional, and genuinely lovely, which made a huge difference on the night. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and very well received by our guests, and everything ran seamlessly from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better catering partner and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Papadeli for corporate or private events. Thank you to Lou and the whole team we’d love to work with you again at a future social!
We attended a Tuscan cooking class at Papadeli and had such a wonderful, memorable evening. The staff were so friendly and it was the perfect atmosphere - they struck just the right balance between informative and relaxed. Simon and Kirstie were incredibly knowledgable and enthusiastic. The starters and mains we made were delicious and we got a few glasses of lovely wine!! We left with smiles and full stomachs! So nice that they send the recipes afterwards too. We can’t wait to try some of them out at home! Would 100% recommend Papadeli for a cooking class. We’re really keen to book another one. It was by far the best-looking cooking class in the Bristol area when I was searching for a gift and it certainly delivered. Thank you Simon and everyone at Papadeli!
Papadeli catered for our wedding in the summer. The food was incredible and so many of our guests said it was the best food they’d ever had at a wedding. The staff were brilliant on the day - very friendly and professional. We had a lot of guests there and it all went very smoothly, thanks to the organisation of the staff. Lou was a delight to deal with in the lead up; she was really helpful, transparent about costs, and quick to respond to queries. We had canapés followed by the feasting menu and then evening food later on - all were excellent. The portions were very generous and we severely regretted not bringing containers for the leftovers - the food was so delicious! We would definitely recommend them as caterers.
Papadeli has an excellent range of food on offer. Their cakes are out of this world and perhaps the best we have ever had. The chocolate celebration cake they baked for us was so good it elicited my toddler daughter's first ever sentence - "I liked it.".

Bristol's premier destination for gourmet catering, artisanal deli delights, and hands-on cooking classes.
