If your venue doesn't do its own food, or you are marrying in a barn, a marquee or a garden, the caterer is likely to be your biggest single supplier. Surrey has long-established caterers that work at the county's barns and manor houses, as well as hog roast and street-food caterers for something more relaxed.
This guide covers eight caterers, seven of them based in Surrey. Everything comes from the caterers' own websites, the venues' sites and the Food Standards Agency's hygiene ratings, checked in October 2026. Only one publishes wedding prices, so expect to ask for a quote. The photo shows West Horsley Place, one of the venues where Two Many Cooks caters.
Check your venue's caterer list first
Many barn and estate venues have approved or exclusive caterers. Gate Street Barn at Bramley, for example, lists its approved caterers on its own site and charges a £2,500 surcharge for using anyone else. Ask your venue before you fall for a caterer it doesn't allow.

Before you book
Check that the caterer is allowed at your venue. Ask exactly what the per-head price covers: staff, equipment, linen, tasting and VAT. Find out how many staff they will send for your numbers and how long they will stay. If there is no bar at the venue, ask whether they run one or recommend one. And look up their hygiene rating; the seven Surrey caterers above were all rated 5 when we checked.
For the rest of the day, see our guides to mobile bars, marquee and tipi hire, and chosen Surrey wedding suppliers, including pizza vans, and our page of wedding sweets, desserts and favours.
