‘A totally delicious treat of a hamper. We ate the whole thing in about two days and just wished we’d ordered a bigger one’

— Keira Knightley

‘Absolutely delicious, exactly the kind of food I could eat all week long.’

— Felicity Spector


‘Ben and the team at Millfield Stores are culinary magicians. They catered our wedding for 180 guests in a field in the middle of nowhere. Not only did they produce some of the most delicious food ever tasted (in fact, many guests claimed it was the best meal of their lives), but they did it all with such friendliness and professionalism.

Honestly, the Millfield team are a real joy to work with and their understanding of flavour, flare and presentation are second to none.’

— Joseph Gridley


‘Ben was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding! He very diligently and patiently collaborated with us to create a menu that fitted our specific brief and beautifully articulated us as a couple. Both the food at our tasting and the wedding was exceptional, which received rave reviews from the guests, and creatively accommodated all dietary requirements - we couldn't of wished for anything more!’

— Anna Lewis

‘Worked with these guys at a wedding today where they were doing the catering. I’ve been in the catering and hospitality game a LONG time so I’m not impressed easily. However. Their food was amazing - super fresh, super tasty and if I was a guest at a wedding they were catering for, I’d be super happy with the fayre. On top of that, Ben and Laurie were just thoroughly nice people too. 100% recommend.’

— Beth Harris


‘We had a fantastic experience with Ben and the rest of the Millfield Stores team when they catered our wedding. They provided canapes, a main course, and a bar serving cocktails. The food and service were fantastic, and we recieved many compliments from our guests about the catering.’

— George Kenwright


‘Millfield Stores catered at an engagement party for 50 people in our home. From my initial conversation with Ben, the whole process was super efficient and friendly. He was really flexible and accommodating with questions and our decision making. Most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious and really made the party feel so special (as well as very relaxing for us!). We'd love to work with Ben again and are so grateful for an incredible experience.’

— Anna Cameron

‘Everything was astonishingly delicious. Honestly. We are big food fans and have spent the past year sampling every meal kit going, as well as brushing up our
own skills, but I have to say your food – the flavours, the produce… and your eye for design + presentation have made me a bit emotional!’

‘I had invited Millfield Stores to cater for an annual Open Studio day at the Chocolate Factory art studios in N16. It was a difficult brief as the pop up cafe in the courtyard was an improvised affair, there was no knowing the number of visitors or weather conditions on the day.

Ben and Sophie dealt with everything  with reassuring calm and a “can do” attitude which is what all stressed event organisers need. The menu was discussed and devised within practical and budgetary constraints, and delivered on time and in the right quantities.

The food itself passed all expectations: ‘sandwiches’ ,‘scones’,‘quiche’,’tarts’ , simply does not describe the originality, freshness, flavour combinations and beauty of their products which take all of the above to an altogether different, very classy  level. If you want your event to go up a notch in the estimation of your guests do involve the team at Millfield Stores - no one will be disappointed. Highly recommended.’

‘I’ve just finished eating a wonderful lunch, made from the produce included in the Everything Box. Each element was so fresh and subtly flavoured- it felt like I was eating in a beautiful restaurant in Italy, and all we had to do was open the box! I especially enjoyed the pear tart... can I have another slice?’

— Sir Peter Blake

‘Ben is an excellent chef. Enthusiastic, methodical and committed. A true professional’

— Ruth Rogers, The River Café

‘Ben did beautiful catering for our 120-person London wedding. The canapes were amazing and the main course brilliant too. We've had so many people rave about the food and he was a joy to work with.’

— Leaf Arbuthnot

‘We have ordered many times from Millfield stores and the boxes are such a treat. Filled with delights to eat now and some items like the preserves are still in our fridge which we continue to dive into. The pear and almond tarts are the best tarts we have ever eaten. Just thinking about them is making my mouth water.

We are also lucky enough to have had Ben cater a couple of events for us .He did the most magnificent dinner party for my dad's 99th birthday. Ben suggested various menus and we settled on a middle eastern menu of prawns, then  lamb and various incredible side dishes. My father said they were the best prawns he has ever eaten. It was a roaring success. Ben also catered for an office party event  we had at home with delicious canapés . I cannot recommend Millfield Stores highly enough.’

— Susan Marmot

‘Ben and the team were professional, accommodating and an absolute pleasure to work with. Our event hosted over 600 delegates and the food and pastries were delicious.’

— Kalyn Reeves

‘We had a dinner catered by Millfield Stores for my dad’s 80th and cannot recommend them highly enough. Ben was super responsive and helpful in the planning of the event, coming up with a great menu & also making accommodations for various dietary preferences. On the day, he was a calm presence in the kitchen, preparing dish after dish of delicious food. My whole family loved it, and I only wish I could eat his burnt lemon tart for dessert every day!’

‘We are so grateful that Millfield Stores catered our intimate wedding celebration. Ben was unfailing in his professionalism, detailed approach, kindness and willingness to ensure that we, along with our guests, were taken care of - he promised a feast and he absolutely delivered. The food was delicious and of an excellent quality. Careful negotiation had to take place several times over the last piece/portion of several dishes!

Ben along with his waiters created a lovely atmosphere - joking with us/our guests, entertaining children - while maintaining a consistently high standard. We recommend Millfield Stores without hesitation!’

‘The Millfields team catered our wedding of 70+ guests. We cannot praise Ben and Millfields highly enough.

Ben was initially recommended to us by a friend and our whole experience from initial conversation, to menu planning, the tasting (cooked by Ben in our own home!), to the wedding day itself, was faultless. The team came all the way from London with us to the Lake District, and used as much local produce as possible. We kept the (minimal) leftovers to eat the following day.

The food was impeccable—far beyond any wedding food our guests and us had experienced before—and the personable service and communication from Ben was excellent.

We would happily use Millfields for another event in the future, and recommend to anyone.’
