Kelly & family 🙂
“We really could not have asked for any more.”
Graduation ball · 120 guests
The Townhouse catering team did the most amazing job for our graduation ball of 120 guests. Matt always keep in contact, accommodated to our every need, the serving staff were lovely and the food was exceptional. (Especially the baked Haddock.) All of the guests were impressed with the food, many commenting that this was the best food they have had at a ball. We really could not have asked for any more. I can not recommend them enough. Thank you so much!
“it was the best barbecue ive ever had.”
★★★★★Private catering · Morecambe
Matt, the General Manager of The Townhouse, came to our accommodation in Morecambe to provide private catering for us. From the outset the communication was excellent and the pricing per head was fair. Matt made sure he understood exactly what we wanted and that we knew what food we would receive. On Saturday he arrived promptly and quickly unloaded his own barbecue and all of his supplies. Over the next two hours he discretely cooked us the most brilliant meal. He was flexible in deciding where to set up and present the food, and it was the best barbecue ive ever had. He fed 17 people and there were loads of leftovers, and so many people commented on how great the food tasted (particularly the loaded potato skins – absolutely the best potatoes I have ever eaten!!) He left really quickly after serving the food and the kitchen was pristine.
We are so pleased he responded to our request on Bark, the night would not have been the same without his catering. Thanks so much again, Matt!
“All my guests were happy and well fed and we feel very grateful for Matt and his team :)”

Quick and Efficient!
Having struggled to find a catering company on short notice that provided all the necessary services, Matt from TownHouse.211 contacted us.
They provided a versatile hot and cold menu to ensure all clients were catered for.
Matt also provided his own cutlery and plates, set up and cleaned up within the cost, which made our day easier and took a lot of work from ourselves to sort.
The food was presented well and plentiful and we received great feedback from everyone at the event.
Matt was helpful, quick, and efficient with his responses before and on the day.
We would definitely use again, thank you Matt!
“The guests loved the food and I loved the easiness of it all and it was great value.”
Wedding hog roast · Eskdale
Absolutely fantastic food so stress free. Despite us having our wedding in a remote part of the lakes it was no bother for Matt the chef. The guests loved the food and I loved the easiness of it all and it was great value. Would highly recommend for an event I will be using this service again it was a crowd pleaser. Thanks Matt for all your hard work on the day.
