Abbey Catering were very easy to deal with and everything was high quality.

Sue Palmer

We used Abbey catering for our wedding at Horam Manor in August 2025. We ordered chairs, tables, glasses, cutlery and crockery. Everything was delivered on time and the quality of the items looked great on the day. Added bonus was – no washing up. Thank you

Brook Watson

Amazing company, from the quote until picking the job up after the event everything was so professional and ran smoothly! super helpful and friendly staff. The glasses sparkled like diamonds and the quality of the furniture was excellent

Giorgia Lardner

The quality was excellent and everything looked great on the day. The team was very flexible with timings for collection, which made the process stress-free. Communication was clear throughout, and delivery was handled smoothly by a friendly driver.

Danielle Agius

Abbey were so patient with the hire equipment order for our Sussex Wedding this year. They have a great and wide selection of items to order for dry hire weddings and the quality of everything was superb. All the staff we dealt with were prompt, polite and efficient, even with multiple changes to our order in the run up to the day. Delivery of items (and pick up) was all seamless and they helpfully made sure everything was in the right place across the venue. It really helped make the wedding planning easier and on the day everything run smoothly, would highly recommend.

Emma Williams
