From beginning to end Kirsty and Steve have wowed us with their creativity and attention to detail. Fossil Food catered for our wedding in July 2023 and we couldn't be happier with the food and the service we received. Steve is a genius, taking notes about our favourite foods and memorable experiences and turning it into the most incredible menu our guests still can't stop talking about. I am in awe of Kirtsy's organisation, her team were so professional and couldn't do enough to keep us and our guests happy on our day.
It was truly the best day of our lives thanks, in part, to the role Fossil Foods played. Everything from the canapés to the table presentation was just stunning and made for a really memorable day.

What can I say. Firstly an ENORMOUS thank you to Kirsty, Steve and their simply wonderful (in every way) team. They recently looked after us catering for our 10 year wedding anniversary in Dorset. The produce, the food, the team, the service, the attention to detail, the execution of a complicated event and the genuine fun and enjoyment they brought to a weekend was spectacular. We were blown away, along with our guests who all cannot speak highly enough about this. A hog roast with a hand reared pig - especially for us since the start of the year was done beautifully. So much crackling and so much delicious leftovers! And the main event, fruits de mer coupled with one of the most fantastic roast beef platters I have ever had - how on earth they did this for 100 people will always be beyond me. It was delightful - the seafood fresh and cooked brilliantly. The beef perfectly done with all the sides was unbelievable. This is before we even talk about how good the canapes were - along with fresh oysters, the likes of which I have never tasted before. Judging by the fact that we ran out of those very quickly tells you just how brilliant everything was - even the oyster-sceptics were sold! We can't thank Kirsty, Steve and Fossil Foods team enough. This was a genuinely spectacular occasion and we feel very lucky to have come across them. We will be using them again in future and we cannot wait. Thanks again guys, you are the best.

The Dream Team - Kirsty and Steve are the dream team when it comes to Wedding Caterers. Looking for a bespoke menu built around your experiences as a couple? That’s what we received. An incredible, deconstructed beef wellington; a beautiful chocolate mousse (the dessert we had at our engagement dinner); and a mouthwatering selection of canapés, not to mention Steve’s ‘Secret Recipe’ Buttermilk Chicken Tenders which we had for our evening food!
My husband and I cannot recommend them highly enough. We found Kirsty and Steve via their instagram page and were hooked by the content they were posting. Kirsty was so diligent in her research and wanted to find out what made us tick as a couple, which would then influence the menu they designed for us. We were a little nervous as they were slightly off patch for us, but all our worries vanished when we had our tasting. The food was cooked to perfection, the meat was tender, and the chocolate mousse was so light and fluffy while still packing a chocolatey punch. We loved our menu and Steve’s cooking. It was so good, we didn’t need to make any revisions and approved it at the first tasting.
We didn’t think it could get much better. That was until our wedding day. We had a marquee wedding, and I cannot understate the role that Kirsty played in helping us set up, running the day, and generally providing emotional support when it was needed! We had a total of 160 guests and fully appreciate Fossil’s efforts in catering for this many people. Their service was run professionally and smoothly, and we have since received many compliments from our guests about how delicious the food was.
If you are looking for a unique, bespoke experience at your wedding to blow your guests away then Kirsty, Steve and the team at Fossil Foods are the people you need to go to. In the meantime, we’ll certainly be visiting their winter time take-away ‘Fossil on the Road’!

We are finally coming down to earth and wanted to send you an email to say Thank You to you and all of your team. You were absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond to make our day exactly how we wanted. You came with no preconceptions about how things “should” happen. Instead, you worked to understand our vibe and committed to work with us. The end product was something magnificent which had outstanding comments from everyone at the wedding. We are still enjoying the leftover Dorset apple cake! Working with you was an absolute delight and your team were all incredible. We loved having a little boogie with you at the end as well.

Kirsty and Steve were an absolute pleasure to work with, from the very first email reaching out to them, right through until the end of service on the day. They were always at the end of an email/whatsapp to answer any questions we had, big or small, and were always quick to respond.
We so enjoyed the planning process: answering our questionnaire felt like a date night in itself, reminiscing about all our favourite food moments as a couple. They then put together such a delicious, personalised menu; which I don’t think we would have ever come up with ourselves.
The tasting at Kirsty and Steve’s house was so lovely and intimate and gave us a chance to get to know them better – in the midst of all their normal wedding planning as caterers, they were planning their own wedding! Not that you’d have known it – at no point did we feel like anything other than their top priority. Kirsty was so on it with all the details, picking up all the little things that would absolutely have passed us by. Deciding on our canapés with Steve was so much fun, and very impressive: whilst glancing over our questionnaire answers he came up with 7 canapés that were entirely personalised to us.
Kirsty came down the day before the wedding to get set up (something our venue coordinator said many caterers don’t do) and it gave us such peace of mind to see how calm and confident she was.
On the day – and in every conversation with our guests since – everyone remarked on the outstanding quality of the food! As the bride and groom we felt so looked after; Kirsty brought us our own canapé board with one of each on there for us to taste (it goes without saying that they were all beyond delicious). They were so on top of the details: making sure that all our guests were topped up with fizz before giving us the nod to go ahead with the speeches, and going the extra mile for those with dietary requirements – Steve even provided the pregnant guests with an extra plate of well-done beef so that they could enjoy the main course too.
We cannot recommend Fossil Foods highly enough, they really did provide the highest quality service and food from start to finish.

From the very first phone call, we knew that we had found the perfect caterers for our wedding. Kirsty and Steve made the entire process so enjoyable, easy and fun. They totally got our vision, and delivered more than we could have ever dreamed. On the day they were so organised, everything ran on time to the second, everyone was beyond helpful and their entire team were a total delight (one of the girls even finding my bouquet and all bridesmaids bouquets and putting them in water- without me even considering it!). We have since had numerous guests tell us that it was the best wedding food they have ever had, and we would have to agree. Kirsty Steve and the team, THANK YOU so much for absolutely making our day. The food was such an important element for us and we simply would not have changed anything.
