2026. We recently used Baxters for our 60th wedding anniversary. They were superb. Hamish gave great suggestions in planning the menu and the staff that delivered, served and packed up - were just the best. I highly recommend them. Tricia

Baxters catered for our Club’s summer lunch. Can’t recommend highly enough Hamish and his team for the quality and quantity of the food they provided. Definitely recommend Baxters and will definitely be using them again.
