What Our Clients Say
I held an 80th party here for my mother and had the most wonderful time. Every moment was lovely and the food was the cherry on the cake. A wonderful afternoon tea spread with lots of finger sandwiches and cakes. Nothing was too much. Jo and her team went out of their way to make sure the afternoon was exquisite and I couldn't recommend more. 5*

I just wanted to say thank you so much for a fabulous buffet last night. It was beautifully laid out and all my guests thoroughly enjoyed having something different. It was an amazing evening everyone was so helpful and friendly. Will definitely use the club again for future parties.

If you are considering a celebration of life we would highly recommend ID Hospitality, very helpful staff who organised everything for us perfectly, great catering and sensible prices for drinks unlike so many places these days. Thank you for looking after us and making a difficult day run smoothly.

Coastal Cruises Poole have worked with Ian from ID Hospitality for many years and we could not be more pleased.
He puts a lot of time and effort into each booking and the food he serves looks amazing and is delicious.
Him and Dan are a pleasure to deal with and it is lovely to know that the caterers we put our trust in deliver the goods without any hassle. We only ever get fantastic comments from our clients and we are proud to be part of his client portfolio.
I have no hesitation in recommending ID Hospitality and as we are a boat company they also have plenty of challenges to deal with to ensure the food goes out perfectly which they always manage! From BBQ’s onboard the boat, buffets, afternoon teas, canapes, seated meals – nothing is too much trouble. Thank you Ian and his team!
