Who am I?

Hello, I'm Holly. I've always loved my food, I lack the feeling full button. I've been especially passionate about cooking since I became a single parent at 17 and wanted to cook proper food for my little girl. I started cooking for friends, holding dinner parties and later opened a restaurant.

With more than 20 years of hospitality experience and with a close network of experienced amazing individuals around me I have started a catering company.
I really enjoy designing menus and working with customers to ensure they get the very best food for their event.

I have a particular interest in seasonal food and try to incorporate preservation methods into my cooking for extra flavour and to help reduce waste.
I also have a keen interest in foraging and work alongside a professional forager. When i'm not working i'll be out hiking and finding free food.

Cherry Pickle Catering catered our outdoor wedding and it was perfect! Andy and Holly met with us to discuss what we wanted ( Vegan and Meat options ) and were so creative and the food they made was delicious! we went with pulled pork and pulled jackfruit with fries and salad. They were able to serve 80 odd people out of little Winston and everyone commented on how delicious the food was! I would recommend Cherry Pickle Catering over and over again - the food they provide is fresh, amazingly tasty and exactly what we wanted!

We booked Cherry Pickle Catering for our wedding in March and they were amazing! The food was gorgeous and the presentation of all the food was amazing! We have had so many lovely comments from guests about how much they enjoyed the food and how accommodating they were to some dietary needs! We would definitely recommend anyone who wants delicious food and very lovely and professional caterers! Thank you all so much! :D - Cherry Pickle Catering Facebook Page

We can't thank Holly or the Cherry Pickle Catering Team enough. They catered for our wedding last weekend and everything about this company is 5 star. Holly is such a warm and lovely person with great imagination. She planned our entire day, which was all vegetarian. The communication was brilliant and we had no doubt about leaving food in her hands. We had superbly presented, delicious canapés, a hot and cold buffet with cooked to order additions, stunning dessert table and then bar buns in the evening. The team worked tirelessly all day and on top of all that they're just wonderful people. Everyone commented on how great the food was. Even our 'fussy' guests were seen trying out the food on the buffet. We also rented the colourful bell tent as a chill out area for the kids which was a great addition. We would have no hesitation in recommending this company. Thank you again.
