CLIENT REVIEWS
Nothing makes us happier than receiving positive feedback from our clients. Going over and above to ensure every customer has everything they wished for and more is what SOKA always strives to achieve:
GEOFF STICKLER, FEBRUARY 2019
"SOKA catered for my wife’s 40th birthday recently, the food & service was second to none. The choice of menu was amazing, nothing was too much trouble! We started with canapés, the pea & mint arancini balls were incredible. Followed by Lamb Tagine served with saffron rice & Smoked Haddock Risotto, both dishes were a huge hit with all our guests. We chose to have a cheeseboard for guests to help themselves to later in evening, once again beautifully presented & great choice of cheese! I’d also like to add that Henry’s cake making skills are amazing, the lemon cake was another big hit! I’d highly recommend Natalie & Henry for any event, they provide a high end service, very professional & lovely people."

Henry and Nat were not just our caterers, they were our wedding planners too. There are so many things to remember in the wedding planning process and so many things that get overlooked. Henry and Nat not only delivered the best food you could wish to eat (to over 100 people) but they helped us to organise all aspects of the wedding. Whenever we felt out of our depth we knew they were a phone call away to resolve any issues we faced and to point us in the direction of the the best and most affordable option available for any part of the wedding. Without them I feel like I would have been totally out of my depth and completely overwhelmed. I am forever in their debt for helping me to plan such a seamless day. On the actual day of the wedding, Nat made sure that we focused on enjoying the day because we had discussed all the little details in the lead up. She ensured that the venue looked perfect and that each part of the day rolled on to the next without any problems. I could never express my true thanks to her as it enabled me to make the most of and enjoy my special day. She is truly wonderful.
It’s hard to describe Henry and Nat’s food as it was like eating heaven on Earth. We had so many guests commenting on the amazing food after the wedding and they still talk about it now!! Their service was impeccable and all guests felt at ease; my Mum even asked for plenty more helpings of the dessert, which of course the lovely duo facilitated. Henry is a very talented chef with a keen eye for making his food look beautiful. It’s pretty tricky to make a dish look gorgeous but taste even better!!
Both Henry and Nat are such wonderful, caring and efficient people. All in all, without this lovely pair our wedding surely would have been a disaster and both my new husband and I are so lucky to have found them to cater and help us plan our wedding. We are so thankful to the both of them and could never truly express in words how much their services and effort really meant to us. Thank you so much & lots of love xxx
SAM & STEVE JULY 2017
"The food was amazing and we had a lot of compliments. The staff were also amazing and made everything run like clockwork. A special thank you to Natalie. We didn't once feel worried or concerned that the day wasn't going to go to plan with you in control. Thank you for everything you did, you made us feel very relaxed about the whole day."
RACHEL & JAMES AUGUST 2017
"Dearest Natalie, this is just a brief message to thank you with our full and floating hearts for the truly most magnificent job you did at our wedding. You organised everything so very beautifully. The food was delicious. The care and the attention you gave and all the hard work you put in was astounding. We are, and shall forever be, truly thankful."
ALEX & ALEXI AUGUST 2017
"We just wanted to say a massive thank you for making our day so special at Wiltons. It was absolutely magical - and everyone had such a great time. Nat - thanks so much for looking after things and for all the little touches with the flowers and bottles. You made the room look stunning."
AMY & ROB AUGUST 2017
"Nat, just wanted to send a quick email thanking you for all your hard work yesterday. The whole day exceeded all of our expectations and this was in no small way down to your support and help. You anticipated everything and made sure we were able to relax and enjoy the day. We’ve already had so many lovely comments about the venue, and particularly the quality of the food and service - thank you so so much."
JAMES WILLIAMSON, EVENT DIRECTOR - JENSON BUTTON TRUST TRIATHLON, JULY 2017
"Henry and Nat did an amazing job at the Jenson Button Triathlon at Markeaton Park in 2017. Providing delicious and healthy food for our 400 competitors whilst also feeding a large portion of our 2000 spectators was a big job and they did it with huge smiles on their faces, I look forward to working with their team again next year, those pork buns were delicious!"
DHRUV PATEL, JANUARY 2018
"Prior to the big day Henry suggested that butternut squash could be substituted for peas and courgettes for the main course as it was more seasonal which was a nice touch. He and Natalie arrived in good time on the day. They looked after us really nicely and the booking was such a fanatic surprise for my mother on her birthday. All the food was great but the starters of Beetroot & Goats Cheese were singled out by all for particular commendation. It was really good talking to them about their ethos and focus on vegetarian food. Highly recommended."
