Russell's communication speed was second to none and along with a lovely proposal assured us we were in safe hands. The food was exceptionally presented. They arrived on time, set up with out fuss and were on hand throughout the party, looking after guests. They cleaned up and took everything away with them. A big thank you from the Hayward household. We will be booking for our party in the summer.

I honestly cannot recommend Shropshire Hills Catering enough! The food was not only INCREDIBLE, but…read moreMatt was just so friendly and accommodating for the whole time we were there. I'm vegetarian (and food options can sometimes be slightly hit-or-miss), but the food Matt served for each meal was just soooo flavoursome and delicious. On our last night, Matt made such a huge effort and threw us a little party with a fire-pit along with dinner and drinks (with the help of his lovely son George) and it was such a brilliant evening. 10/10 and would highly recommend

Well where to start with this company.....Matt and his team are AMAZING. We needed catering for a…read morecorporate event and Matt went above and beyond to make sure we got a fantastic experience! The booking process was easy and if we had any questions Matt came back with an answer straight away, the day of the BBQ there was plenty of delicious meats, salads and bread rolls and we could have fed another 20 people. Matt's attitude and customer service was second to none, really attentive and could not do enough for us, and would not accept any help when it came to clearing everything away. Regardless of the typical British BBQ weather (rain, hail, snow and sunshine) everyone really enjoyed their lunch. A massive thank you to Matt and his team @ Shropshire Hills Catering. Would recommend this company to all. Thank you again Matt, will certainly be using your services again in the future.

It was in a marqee and for a large number of people but you could not fault the food or the service. she also does buffets for house parties, I went somewhere last year and she had done the food, it was all homemade and very tasty.

The owner does do outside catering which seems to be a large part ofthe business. The cakes are to die for and the food is all really high quality. The owner has won many awards and I can see why. It is only a small place so arrive early to get a nice table.

Poppies Cafe is a lovely little place in Ulverston and well worth a visit for an affordable,…read moreenjoyable, non-pub lunch. It's small, with only around 6 tables, but we were lucky to get a seat last Saturday, especially as the heaven's opened not long after we arrived! After the train journey from Manchester, we were more than ready to eat. Everything is fairly hearty, but there is a range of meals to choose from; paninis, toasted sandwiches, omlettes, baked cheese, bruschetta, breakfast and brunch, and 'things on toast' - which were obviously more appealing than they sound! I went for a bacon, cheese and tomato panini. It was roughly the size of my face, but absolutely delicious! There was the perfect amount of cheese, the bacon wasn't too salty, and just the right amount of tomato for my personal taste. With chips alongside, it was a perfectly filling meal. I stuck to tap water, but the decaf coffee comes with its own timer and cafetiere, and there's even the option of having a flowering green tea which, I assume, is a bit of a first in Ulverston! The cakes looked delicious, especially the Christmas cake, though I'm not usually a fan. Very homemade; what you see is what you get. But you can't ask more than that.

Poppies was full of people enjoying good food and drink, when I was in there today. There are seven…read moretables, seating 23 people. The main courses run from £5.95 to £6.95, but you can get a filled jacket potato for £4.50. The sandwiches which came out whilst I was there, looked scrumptious. Soup is £2.90, and soup with a sandwich £4.95, which considering the sarnies are £3.50 to start with, seemed a bargain. I wasn't hungry when I went in but I secomed (can't find correct spelling, sorry) anyway because of the wonderful smells. There also looked to be a nice range of cakes and scones, some of which are gluten/wheat free. hurray.
