Hello, I hope you are well and that I might feed you again this year!
I am being cheeky and would like to know if you could do me a favour.
I have finally created a google business page and desperately need some reviews. If you have a moment, could you leave a few words about your experience of my food, where you ate it and if we worked in any special dietary requirements?
I really appreciate your time.

Infamous Catering
We are a boutique catering company based in the beautiful Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire
Our Head Chef – and the driving force behind the company – is Ian ‘Barney’ Barnes; an obsessive foodie who is now ‘infamous’ for making even the strongest-willed diner come back for seconds. Barney has travelled to over 40 countries in his pursuit of the world’s most #unforgettableflavours. But he’s also passionate about using ingredients that are British, in season and, where possible, locally sourced.
The result is incredible fusion food that sits in perfect harmony with the Gloucestershire seasons.
What we can do
Generally we cater for events from 20 up to around 200 people. Barney will work with you from start to finish creating tailored menus, cooking and serving you alongside his friendly support team.
Midweek we focus on business lunches and events, and can sometimes do smaller private bookings subject to availability. Contact us to find out more about offers Monday to Thursday.
We love to cater for weddings, with a focus on great value sustainable options to suit your budget and conscience.
We also run supper clubs which everyone is welcome to join. These are a great idea if you’re thinking of booking us for a wedding or big party but want to check us out incognito beforehand! These are generally the first Thursday of the month, and you must book in advance. Look out for supper club events appearing on this page.
From general dietary requirements to vegetarian or vegan – just name it – we are always happy to try and create all-inclusive menus. We can cater for you pretty much anywhere your imagination can conjure up, from local breweries to Mongolian yurts, with the odd village hall in between.
Nothing is impossible with the right menu.
We’re looking forward to hearing from you!
