Who am I?

Hello, I’m Holly. My passion for cooking began at 17 when I became a single parent and wanted to cook proper food for my daughter. What started as dinner parties for friends grew into opening my own restaurant.

With over 20 years of hospitality experience, I now run a catering company, creating bespoke menus for weddings and events. I focus on seasonal ingredients, preservation techniques and foraged produce, working alongside a professional forager. When I’m not cooking, I’m usually out hiking and finding wild food.

6 months later, I still have people asking about the food at our wedding. Holly’s food was amazing, provided a fantastic vegetarian menu for our wedding, and was incredibly responsive to all our questions and ideas during the planning process. If I could give 6 stars I would! Haven’t stopped thinking about the mini Hoisin Mushroom boa buns since.

Holly and her team catered our wedding and the food was AMAZING! We had a fully vegetarian menu and went for the Middle Eastern buffet and requested halloumi skewers in addition (which Holly kindly added in). We also had canapés and desserts. Food went down so well with our guests. So many came up to us and told us how great the food was, and some even said it was the best wedding food they had ever had. The canapés were substantial, the main food was varied and filling and the desserts were to die for. All of it was delicious. All of this was at a fraction of the price of other options we looked at. Thanks Holly! Highly recommended.

We would definitely recommend Holly and Cherry Pickle. We were initially drawn in by the shared feasting style menus and the Moroccan menu in particular, but from the first enquiry, she was prompt and clear in replying so the whole process was extremely stress free. We didn't get to taste the food beforehand but the many Instagram reels and videos made us confident we would love it, and on the day the food was even better than we had expected. The service was amazing, all the canapes were delicious and our guests absolutely loved the amount and varied dishes of the main meal. The loaded pavlovas were a particular highlight. We've been to hundreds of weddings and we're so pleased that ours was one of the best meals, thanks to Cherry Pickle. 100% recommend.

From the first contact with Holly I knew there was no other wedding caterer for me! ❤️ as a foodie myself, we drooled over options and Holly created a bespoke menu for our wedding, including Bradgate Park venison as this was where we held the ceremony. I’m not exaggerating when I say that EVERYONE at the wedding said how delicious the food was. It really was exceptional to serve such delicious, high quality food, to that many people, from a kitchen she’d never been in before! The Cherry Pickle team were absolutely wonderful. As well as perfect food service, they mingled with canapés and cut our wedding cake into portions. Everything was exceptional and beyond our expectations. We’re not ashamed to say that we now basically stalk Holly like a fan club and go along to her pop up events so we can continue to enjoy her glorious food. Do not hesitate to book Cherry Pickle Catering and drool over menu choices with Holly!!

We can't thank Holly and the team at Cherry Pickle enough for the incredible feast they provided at our wedding! From the very start, Holly was fantastic—helping us plan the perfect menu, accommodating allergies, and making the whole process completely stress-free. On the day, she was 10 out of 10, managing our big (and slightly chaotic!) family with ease and delivering a feast that was nothing short of amazing. The food was truly the highlight, and my dad hasn’t stopped raving about the lamb! We really value good food for how it brings people together, and it’s clear Holly shares that value. She knows her flavours. Highly recommend Cherry Pickle for your event!

Holly and the team catered out wedding last week, and the food went down a storm! We had sharing platters with lamb that fell off the bone along with a wide range of middle eastern dishes which were all phenomenal. We've had so many comments from guests about how good the food was. Cherry Pickle were professional, punctual, reliable and very easy to deal with in the run up. I want to go back and eat it all again! Thanks Holly!
