I highly recommend Speyside Kitchen their meals are exceptional. We use them whenever we visit the Cairngorms and that is generally three to four times a year. The meals are well packaged with clear instructions attached. Follow the instructions and you will have a restaurant quality dinner. The staff are friendly and obliging and will delivery your meals to your holiday accommodation for a small fee. In our opinion the meals from Speyside Kitchen make your holiday that bit more special. Thank you Speyside Kitchen for all off the lovely meals we have had over the years and we look forward to the ones to come next year.

Matilda, The Woodland Trust - 21st & 22nd September 2024
I wanted to email you to send a massive thanks for the wonderful conference food. The feedback so far has been really great and we were really impressed by how efficient everything was. Everything was well presented, well packaged, well labelled and absolutely delicious. You bent over backwards to accommodate some of the complex dietary requirements of our delegates. The sandwiches, quiches, tagines, couscous, sticky toffee pudding....everything, were all absolutely delicious! There were lots of leftovers so my husband and I are still working our way through them at home. Thanks so very much and I hope to work with you again sometime.
Marion Davies - 7th September 2024

Heather Meltvedt - 7th September 2024
I wanted to take a moment to extend my heartfelt thanks for the incredible food you provided for the recent 50th birthday celebration. From the amazing seafood and meats to the exquisite cheeses and the show-stopping chocolate birthday cake, every dish was outstanding.
The quality and presentation truly impressed all our guests, and your team's attention to detail made the evening even more special. We couldn't have asked for a better catering experience, and we are so grateful for the exceptional service you provided.
I will definitely be recommending you and thank you once again for helping make my friend’s milestone celebrations unforgettable!
Angela & Andy Musk - 31st August 2024
Speyside kitchen catered for 150 people at our wedding at Boat of Garten Community Hall. The food was absolutely incredible - an abundance of really tasty canapés and dips, sweetcorn fritters and haggis meatloafs followed by the tastiest tanginess and salads. Macaroni and sausage, mash and chutney pies for the mid ceilidh dinner. Just so tasty!
Speyside Kitchen were an absolute joy to coordinate with in the lead up to the wedding. Their communication is consistent, clear and at the heart o what they do is their desire to do the best possible job they can for you. There are no hidden costs in the services - they are clear with what you can get with the budget you have, and think of ways for you to get the best food you can for what you can afford. I am so glad we went with them - thank you so much!!!! Angela and Andy
Caroline Smith - 30th August 2024
Donna was so friendly and helpful, and the food was incredible! So beautifully presented, and so much of it! My husband, and our friends that joined us, were all bowled over by the lovely food, and also the very high standard of quality - it really was outstanding. We all commented several times on the excellent quality of the products - the cooked meat platter and the fish i.e. the products you have to outsource, were fabulous quality and we all really appreciated it.
All the food was really lovely and tasty, and the mini meringue nests in particular were amazing - the meringue was as light as air, and deliciously filled with cream, strawberries and blueberries. I have no idea how you get the meringues to be so light!! The choux buns were fabulous too.
Kevin Trail - 13th August 2024
Thank you very much for our fantastic buffet last night. You did everything you promised which is all I could have hoped for.

Alanna Stewart - 29th June 2024
The food was absolutely delicious, and all of our guests were raving about it. Our vegetarian also loved his option.
It was so easy to heat up with easy instructions my husband could even work out!
We had a couple of English people in our party who had never tried Haggis and were blown away how nice it was with the chicken.
Enough leftovers for our tea last night - bonus!!
Many thanks again

Tony Burley, Rotary Club - 5th December 2023
I am writing to thank Speyside Kitchen for the two delicious cakes that you donated, bar the cost of the ingredients, to the Rotary Club of Spey Valley. Kath did a marvellous job cooking, dressing and presenting two very different cakes. She is a star. Both were won by folk from Grantown on Spey.
The cakes were the big draw to the stand on both days and attracted the most funds. The two days were attended by different demographics; 'Grantown Does Christmas' 94 folk bought a ticket for the cake and hardly anyone played the games, but at Badaguish 47 for the cake with more folk playing the games. All in all we raised £330 for our Aquabox appeal.
Aquabox provides clean water solutions and Aid boxes for disaster and conflict areas around the world.
Along with other funds we have raised elsewhere, this money will provide some of the filters and aid boxes as seen in the attached document.
Thank you all once again for your marvellous donation as without the cakes from Speyside Kitchen we would not have been so successful.
I hope the move to your new premises in Grantown on Spey is going well and that you can look forward to a more stable base.
Yours aye! Tony Burley

Hi Claire, happy Friday!
We just wanted to drop you a line on email and thank you for your support on this project. The food on Tuesday was delicious, and the client has asked us to ensure that we start up a roster of suppliers for future events in Speyside, so this might not be the last time you hear from us or the brand. Thanks again for helping us make this a success. Hope you have a great weekend ahead.

Thank you so much for looking after us so well last week at Muckrach. Everything went so smoothly - at least from our point of view-and we were all agreed that the food was delicious and plentiful.
We all had a wonderful three days with thirteen testing new dances to remember, danced in glorious locations throughout Speyside.The days were all extremely full but it was comforting knowing that we would be so well looked after when we got back to Muckrach.
With many thanks,

Now I am back home I just want to say a very big thank you for your marvellous catering for us all at Aultmore on the 12th April.

We celebrated what would have been my uncle's 100th birthday his daughter's 60th birthday on her actual 61st birthday and my sister's delayed 70th birthday. The food was delicious and enabled the celebrations to go off wonderfully, it was so good to be together after the horrible couple of years we have all had.

Hi Claire & Sarah
Absolutely brilliant meals once again, the standard never drops. Our friends who were visiting the area for the first time had the pleasure of eating your meals and to say they were impressed is an understatement. The quality of your ingredients always stands out, marmalade bread & butter pudding has become a favourite along with the Cullen skink. Look forward to seeing you again at Xmas.
Kind Regards
John & friends
George Potts Mon, Nov 8, 2021, 4:50 PM
Hi Claire,
As the dust from our Badaguish visit settles, I have a moment to reflect and send you my sincerest thanks for your very significant contribution towards making it a success. I'm not at all put out that you got far more mentions in the evaluation forms than I did, and the glowing terms with which they referred to your culinary skills!
I did think you performed some amazing feats of feeding the proverbial 5000 and that was tremendously helpful in our packed timetable.
Veterans of many a Rendezvous were of the view (me included) that your meals were better than any we had experienced before -there is nothing more certain to secure a return visit than well fed delegates. Thank you
My best wishes to you and your team for a busy and successful future.
Kind regards,
George.

Birthday meal celebrations - Yell.com 7th October 2021
Speyside Kitchen provided a 3 course meal for 5 as part of my wife's 50th birthday celebrations when we stayed in Aviemore recently as part of this. I honestly cannot fault Claire on both supporting me and providing this as well as the quality of the food. Claire and the team catered to my needs and were flexible so that we had a good choice of food. It was prepared somewhat in advance & came in ready to heat containers with details for each item of cooking guidelines also, great attention to detail, meaning minimal amount of effort so we could just relax and enjoy the great food!
If you want something slightly different, that is of great quality and good value for money based on what is being provided, as it was delivered to the door also, then I cannot recommend enough this company, my wife was absolutely delighted with it, as we all were.

Hi Claire
We would just like to thank you and all your team for all the meals and the canapés you supplied us with during our holiday. As always the quality of the ingredients stands out and we find it difficult to name a favourite but I think it’s still your Cullen skink with chicken balmoral a close second. It’s the first time we have visited Badaguish to collect our meals and what an amazing place it is. We wish you all the best for your upcoming events and look forward to seeing you in November.
It was lovely having a coffee and chat with you today.

Beautifully prepared and presented food. The trout fillets in tarragon sauce were quite sublime.
This small company deserves to do well.
Do not be nervous about ordering. You will not be disappointed.
We are going back in November and are looking forward to the winter menu.

Hello Claire
A rather belated thankyou for providing such a lovely dinner on 11th July
It worked perfectly -all dietary requirements catered for!! And virtually no effort on my part apart from heating up the oven
I think we enjoyed everything and I appreciate the thought which had gone into it – it felt like a real occasion . Personally I particularly enjoyed the Eton mess!! But it was all delicious and a bit different .
I left a nice comment in the visitor book about Speyside Kitchen but had forgotten to email you personally
I hope we might be back at Osprey Lodge again some day and so may well be in touch in the future
With best wishes

Alexis Oates Tue, Sep 15, 10:00 AM (Dinner at The Wilds)
Good morning,
Thank you for your help with our catering last weekend at The Wilds. As far as I am aware, everyone in our party enjoyed their meal on Saturday evening and it certainly made my life easier. It was more enjoyable and relaxing than going out to one of the local restaurants for a meal but allowed folk to have a choice rather than what I felt able (and willing) to cook in a strange kitchen.
I am sorry that I was still out on our morning activity when you arrived to deliver the meal but my son seemed to have taken in all the important information you provided.
Thank you and best wishes,
Alexis.

Hi Claire
Just wanted to thank you for the amazing meals we had last week from you. It was lovely seeing a smiling face just after we arrived at our cottage with our freshly prepared meals. All the meals were excellent but the Cullen skink was a favourite and the sticky toffee pudding was absolutely gorgeous. The quality of the ingredients used in all the dishes really stands out. We will be back in November and will certainly be contacting you again, looking forward to seeing the new autumn/winter menu.
By the way we could see the smile in the eyes.
Many Thanks once again

Hi Claire,
It was lovely to meet you yesterday in the glamorous surroundings of Ballindalloch Distillery driveway!
Just wanted to let you know that we all thoroughly enjoyed our food. There was much debate about the order of each course, but we eventually decided to begin with more delicate flavours, working up to the stronger ones. From the first starter, to the last dessert, all were absolutely delicious and Alan has certainly had a retirement dinner to remember!
Many thanks and kind regards,

Alexandra Frost - 1st September 2020 1:36 PM
I'd like to say a huge thank you once again for catering our wedding day. The food was absolutely fantastic and we couldn't have asked for anything better. I'd particularly like to thank you for the way you adapted your approach during covid-19. You put me, Richard and all our guests completely at ease and really made the best of the situation. Breakfast the next morning, already stocked in the fridge with the leftovers, went down an absolute treat. If I ever have any friends or family in the area I will definitely be making a recommendation. Couldn't have asked for anything more. Once again, thank you, and I hope the return to normality (fingers crossed!) treats you kindly.
Best wishes, Alex

I used Speyside Kitchen for our catering at Kincraig House and will definitely use them again. Following my enquiry email Claire called to discuss our requirements and tailored the Weekender's package to suit our needs. Knowing our kitchen was fully stocked ensured we could just focus on enjoying our holiday. They were a pleasure to deal with and the high quality catering received 5 stars from us. Thank you Speyside Kitchen for the wonderful catering which enabled us to focus on enjoying making wonderful memories.

Message: The food for Alex's wedding at Big Husky was absolutely amazing. Everything ran so smoothly and the attention to detail for the meals you catered was second to none. I am still raving about the salmon starter - beautiful produce and great to know all local too. Thank you.

Claire thank you so much for the marvellous food you have made and delivered for us.
It was great to arrive after a tough journey and to find everything here for us and oven ready. We really enjoyed our meal.
Thank you too for the tablet treat!
I’m sure it’s been a tough few business months but we love your food and wish you well for a speedy build up of business again!
Best wishes Rona x

Hi Claire
I just wanted to say thank you for the delicious food which was waiting for us at Loch an Eilein cottage when we arrived.
You were absolutely right in that there was enough food to last us for several days which made life very easy.
A very big thank you to all at Speyside Kitchen.
Kind regards
Barry

Claire and Sarah catered for a get together I had with 10 friends at the weekend. They made some delicious Scottish themed canapés followed by a wonderfully hearty venison bourguignon. They brought it to the house with very simple cooking instructions. My friends and I loved the food and it made for a thoroughly enjoyable, relaxing and stress-free dinner party experience. Thank you so much.

What a great team at Speyside Kitchen. They successfully catered for us, a group of 90 student teachers staying at Badaguish, for all dietary needs and with delicious results! Thank you ladies for keeping us so well fed, spoilt even, on our outdoor residential.
