"Myself and my partner were more than happy with the food and service Orgin8 provided. There was more than enough food for everyone, and our guests were overwhelmed. The presentation was second to none and also having your commitment to serve us and our guests was fantastic. We would be more than happy to have you back to cater our wedding in September 2019! Thank you once again to all the staff at Origin8 for making our evening 100 % perfect. We wouldn't ask anyone else to cater for us again in the future." - Jason and Caroline's Engagment Party, Lanwades Hall
“We recently used Origin8 for coffee breaks and lunches at a two-day conference and were so pleased with the food and service. Prior to the event, the team was very helpful in providing a range of options to suit our needs and budget. During the conference, refreshments and food were brought in freshly for each break (including just tea and coffee breaks) and set up beautifully in our space. The food looked delicious and was enjoyed by all. We were also impressed that a friendly staff member from Origin8 was available throughout instead of just dropping off the food, and that separately prepared and packaged meals were provided for an event attendee with known allergies. These little ‘extras’ made all the difference. We would highly recommend Origin8 to others and look forward to using them again in future.” – Project Administrator / Conference Organiser, Cambridge University Department of Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics
“Would highly recommend Origin8 to event organisers. Melanie was very helpful in the lead up to our event suggesting ideas and listening to my needs. She was also fantastic during the event – efficient and well organised. The food and drinks were delicious and had everyone going back for more. Thanks Origin8!” – Sara Baxter, Senior Administrator, Cambridge Network Limited
"The food arrived at just the right time, and it was all delicious. May I say especially how beautifully decorated the cupcakes were, and they were also delicious (I loved the little hidden bit of filling inside!). They were very popular among the guests, and were a good ‘souvenir’ to take home!" – D.H., Faculty of Chemistry
