Seren you are ACE

I am honoured to write about an absolutely perfectly prepared, displayed and served meal. Seren was an amazing person full of patience and guidance as she supported me to host a special family celebration from planning to completion. The food was fantastic, it was hot, attractive, tasty, homemade and professionally displayed and served nothing was too much for Seren and Stephen who helped her on the day. There was absolutely NOTHING we could find fault with. Seren and Stephen were polite, attentive, and very respectful of us all. Thank goodness there are such people in the world. Talented and able to exercise people skills to such a high standard. A brilliant service. THANK YOU Seren and Stephen.

Absolutely Incredible Experience 5*

Absolutely Incredible Experience. #

Nothing was too much trouble for Seren and her team, from the communication up until the day to the food served on the day.

We had an issue with the house and the cutlery / plates available and Seren went out of her way to bring her own and make sure we had a great experience, she also catered for dietary's.

I would highly recommend you will not be dissapointed

Outstanding food and experience


We used Bubbling Stove for a hen do, where they catered two incredible evening meals, and we couldn’t have been more impressed!

On the first night, we enjoyed a delicious paella alongside a beautifully presented grazing spread. The second night was a more formal sit-down meal, which was just as stunning. Every dish was packed with flavor, made with high-quality ingredients, and presented with such care and attention to detail. The portions were generous, and they even provided some drinks to complement the meals, which was a lovely touch.

What really stood out was how well they catered to our group’s dietary needs, ensuring everyone had something equally delicious to enjoy. Their professionalism was exceptional—not only did they cook and serve amazing food, but they also left the kitchen spotless, even cleaner than before they arrived!

We would 100% use Bubbling Stove again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-tier catering. A truly fantastic experience from start to finish!

Fabulous Staff Christmas Dinner

Seren and her team supplied our Christmas lunch today at our factory in Ledbury, Wow what a fantastic job they did from start to finish, the initial meeting, ideas, support to my team and the execution of a meal for 85 people was brilliant. I highly recommend them for any future event you may be planning and i certainly will be using them again. Thank you team Bubbling Stove.

70th Birthday Party

The food was varied and very tasty which everyone at the event really enjoyed. To have someone present at the event ensuring everything went well was very good. The cold buffet, the hot option and the sweets were all delicious.

Marvellous Food

The communication before the day of our meal was very good, clear and helpful. Seren and Stephen came to the house just before midday, as planned, and stayed until the evening. The service was excellent. The food quality was wonderful and such variety, coming from a number of different countries. They were unobtrusive, efficient, cleaned and tidied away without bother. Everybody enjoyed the food experience.

Whilst I am sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the food you received and I have addressed the various elements of your complaint before. It was not possible for us to resolve our differences and when I explained that you had asked for large portions of sides and vegetables, I seemed to further aggravate you and you responded, saying ''For you to describe our dinner as casual is laughable, firstly I know that the average person does not have a dining room like ours. Secondly, if it was casual, we would have dined at our casual dinner table.
Your food was already prepared before you saw the setting, so your insult is irrelevant. ''
I want to make it clear that I have not tried to 'insult you' and I am not 'harassing' you by responding to your review and I am really sorry if you feel I am. We are all entitled to our opinions and whilst I appreciate you live in a large house, but this does not mean that only you can post a review. This is a review platform and I did try to resolve your complaint, but I did not agree to your request for an 80% refund or you would go to your family solicitor.
With reference to your dog, I have no desire for your dog to be put to sleep, but you were aware that your dog bit me on two occasions and sadly whilst I appreciate that you consider a toy breed cannot create an injury, yours did and this was not made up, your dog was described to me as being nervous of strangers.

Birthday afternoon tea.

Birthday afternoon tea.. freshly made cakes/tarts which were utterly sublime! Lemon marshmallow and chocolate orange.. And delicious cheese board.. I wish I could attach photos to show how amazing this was, how much food there was (enough to take the extra home) and how detailed and ‘posh’ it looked.. mini fine dining experience in a magical and hidden away corner of town. Did not expect this amount of attention to detail and mouth watering treats.
Seren was recommended and did not disappoint. She has beautiful crockery for a selection of delicious teas and coffee, everything is presented so beautifully in a quaint little shop. It seems no request is too little and she made this birthday one to remember and rave about.

Wonderful buffet and Seren went above and beyond for a small gathering

Seren is an award winning chef and caterer who I’ve been lucky enough to taste her food at different events over the years, and enjoying lunch in her shop on several occasions. I also enjoyed a recent buffet she catered for. She’s always been so professional and friendly, and her food is wonderful .. delicious to eat and the beautiful presentation is always stunning, but this buffet was exquisite. Everyone there was saying how good the food was.
I was coming on here to write a review for her and saw the 1* review that quite frankly sounds like utter nonsense and cannot believe is an honest experience. Anyone genuine who has actually booked with Seren can attest to the quality of her food and how much work she puts into what she does.

Excellent Funeral Catering

Seren and her team catered for 40 people at my mums funeral. She arrived early get everything set up and provided tea and coffee and water as well the amazing array of homemade sandwiches and cakes. We even gave people a food parcel to take away as there was so much food.. Seren and her team came appropriately dressed for the funeral and stayed throughout to ensure that everything went well, and she engaged with various of the family and friends to make the experience even better. This was fine catering and excellent service and I highly recommend Bubbling Stove for any occassion.

We hired Seren and her lovely team for our intimate wedding at the end of May! We could not fault the service one bit! They came in and quietly set up without us even knowing which was wonderful! We had a smokehouse bbq buffet which was amazing and there was so much of it! The service and quality was fantastic. Highly recommend.
