Some of our guests have used Thyme Chef caterers and have given positive feedback. The caterers will come to the cottage to prepare your meal, set the table and serve you in the dining room. Cleaning and washing up will be done whilst you are dining and the team will leave after serving dessert…

“The meal was really good and I would definitely recommend Thyme Chef, both for food and service”  Janice – Oct 2017 – party of 16

Another Bath catering company is Nibbled Catering, recommended to us by another cottage owner!
