Catering will play a significant part of your stay at Huntsham Court and it’s important you get what you want when you want it and that it is of both the highest standard and best value. Whether it’s a big pot of chilli or sandwiches on the Friday night or Fine Dining for 130 on the Saturday we can make sure all your guests leave with a pleasant taste in their mouths. This page lists what we believe to be some of the best food options from the South West. Whomever you choose to be your caterers during your stay, you will need your caterer’s package to always include staff to deliver the food and drink service style that you agree directly with them. This is their expertise and gives the client the best experience!
On a practical note we would like to re-iterate that we strongly believe that if you wouldn’t pay for it at home, you shouldn’t be charged for it here. So there are no hidden charges here: no corkage; no kitchen / storage / handling fees; and no obligation to use specific caterers. You also have complimentary use of our banqueting set (chairs, tables, linen, cutlery, crockery and glassware) all included.
Clients often organise different things for different parts of their stay from artisan food makers to posh caterers including a combination of:
Fully self catered.
Self catered with assistance (setting up, serving and washing up).
Cooks and cleaners to prep your food, serve and clear.
‘Drop and leave’ where local caterers prepare and supply read meals for you to cook.
Fully catered (recommended for groups or meals over 50 people).
Formal dinners, garden hog roasts, casual buffets, high teas.
…. the possibilities are endless.
It’s your event and you should have it just how you want it, so pick and choose the best fit for each part of your event and to suit your budget. With good planning your money can go a lot further than you think and we are happy to advise you if you’d like some help.

All these caterers have distinct styles and know the house really well. They can do anything from dropping off pre-prepared meals through to silver service 6 course meals as well as anything in-between. Most are very established local caterers to Devon but we have also listed some caterers from Bristol that are celebrated for their amazing fayre and elegant service. All in all they represent what we feel is the best of the South West.
