About

Sainlo Events deliver a friendly and personal catering service for business and private functions.

Sainlo Events is a friendly family run business. Our aim is to both delight and excite our clients with exquisite flavours and to impress their guests with a beautifully presented and fulfilling meal.

In 2011, Chef Jean-Luc reached a stage in his career where he wanted to take all of the excellent skills he had learned over the past 20 years plus his passion for fresh seasonal flavours and put them to good use building something special for both his family and of course, yours.

Since then we have worked with a number of clients to bring something special to their table allowing our company to thrive – in the last four years we are pleased to say we have gone from strength to strength.

We were a group of 7 and had breakfast at Home Farm Glamping 2 mornings of our stay. The staff were outstanding, charming, polite, helpful and happy to fulfill our requests. The food as excellent, all piping hot, beautifully presented and piping hot. We also had a BBQ box for dinner, again, it was all super tasty and well prepared. The salad was superb with a mixture of about 3-4 different types of olives and a range of heritage tomatoes. An excellent, high quality, good value for money service, I would highly recommend.

We stayed at home farm glamping and ordered the BBQ for 2, was very nice but the coleslaw was missing. We also ordered a continental breakfast the following morning and were not told where to go for that by staff so took us a while to locate the on site meadow cafe. Once there food was lovely but there was no orange juice offered and when you spend £32 on 4 granola and pastries you kind of expect the OJ to be there too. Would recommend as quality was great, it’s just the small things that could have been a bit better.

Top Class Catering

Service

Quality

Value

We had Sainlo Events cater for our wedding and they were absolutely phenomenal! We had been hoping to give our guests a high quality family feast; with visions that they would get really stuck in and pass platters around our long tables, as opposed to a more typical 3 course dinner. We were introduced to Sainlo Events through our wedding planner who believed that Colleen and her team could help to create exactly this type of feel for our big day. After one call with Colleen, we learned that we could have a barbecue feasting menu, which would clearly offer our guests a huge range of dishes, and different flavours, while also catering for various dietary requirements. We committed to using Sainlo Events without sampling the quality (due to trust in the magnificent reviews) but we did eventually have a taster session in order to finalise our menu. We were absolutely blown away by the quality of the food and knew we had made a fantastic decision - Colleen also gave us an incredible service on the tasting day which showed the attention to detail she would go to on the actual day. In the build up, we had a couple of guests who could no longer attend and Colleen was very relaxed about this - given that the food is bought in fresh just before the event, she is very flexible around final numbers which eases worries at a very stressful time. On the day, our guests were absolutely raving about the food that Sainlo Events had produced. Guests were given trays of 4 different meat/fish/veggie options accompanied by 4 different sides. This worked perfectly as they weren’t limited to have just one meat, and guests could help themselves to as much/little food as they wanted - not dictated by the plate put in front of them. We also had mountains of dessert served afterwards, with the Brownie being one of the most incredible things I’ve ever eaten - Colleen, I will be in touch soon to enquire about ordering a batch! To finish the day, Colleen and her team also provided our evening food, with cones of chips coming out at around 9pm. In summary, Sainlo Events are an absolutely fantastic supplier who are incredibly professional and easy to deal with. Colleen helped us to create the exact menu and wedding breakfast experience that we had dreamed of and our guests still tell us how amazing the food was. Thank you to everyone at Sainlo Events for your service, we would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for top class catering.

We arranged a private dinner for a hen do and the food was absolutely incredible!

Sainlo Events have a clear passion for what they do which is evident both in their approach to clients and in the food itself. They were caterers for a creative week away I spent with colleagues recently and I couldn't have been more impressed with them- the food quality was excellent, it was beautifully presented, and it was all created with a smile. Definitely a highly recommended 5 stars from me (and if I could give a sixth star for their granola then I absolutely would - I've never tasted granola quite like it!)

Jean Luc, Colleen and their team were simply flawless. We had hired them for the entire day at our wedding - afternoon canapes, wedding breakfast and evening food across two venues in opposite parts of London. It was no easy feat yet they pulled off such an amazing feast - all our guests commented on how great the food was, many saying its was the best wedding food they had ever eaten. Special mention must go to the incredible canapes - the seared tuna, the mini beef and yorkshire pud and mushroom and quails egg. We couldn't have asked for more - it really made our day all the more special. Thank you, Jess & Lucy
