A BIT OF HISTORY
Forty Love Catering to your needs
Forty Love Catering was established in May 2022 following a discussion with a committee member of Thames Ditton Lawn Tennis Club (TDLTC), asking whether he would be interested in running the BBQ for the club on a Saturday for both the juniors in the morning and also the senior members in the afternoon.
Initially Forty Love provided a basic menu of Bacon Rolls, Sausage Baps and Burgers starting at 8am and going on to 6pm in the evening. The feedback on the quality of the food has been excellent and Forty Love is now seen as an integral part of the club on a Saturday. The club have then asked Forty Love to cater for all their events including their Summer Social and Oktoberfest.

Due to the success of our catering we were asked by Thames Ditton Cricket Club to take over the catering for their Friday night and Sunday morning Colts training. The Friday nights have become legendary locally with members able to sip a cold beer or glass of wine eating great food whilst watching their children playing cricket on the village green!
More recently we have been asked by local schools to attend their Summer and Christmas Fairs and even their Sports Day!
Forty Love Catering have extended into external catering providing top quality catering services for corporate events and parties. Since than we have been honoured to cater for many parties and social events see testimonials for more details
Events
Whilst we have only been in operation since May 2022 we have catered for some wonderful events:
Sailing the Med Lunch
Our first catered event was for Sailing the Med a group of 20 members who regularly sail and socialise together.
They were extremely impressed with the catering provided:
"Thank you Paul for a FANTASTIC BBQ lunch for our group of 19 friends - really impressed with the quality of the Angus burgers (I had mine with bacon and cheese too). The portobello mushroom and halloumi burgers were a massive hit also!
You really made our social day a into something special - it was so good for us, we are going to book another social lunch day with you this Summer!"
TDLTC Summer Social
Forty Love were asked to cater for the TDLTC Summer Social where 110 members got together to drink, dance and eat the night away. We designed a menu that catered for everyone's needs and exceeded the club's expectations in both quality and service levels.
Feedback from the members ranged from;
" the best food we've had for years" to "You are really underselling yourself by just calling that a burger"!
Oktoberfest @ TDLTC
On the 8th October 2022 and again in 2023 Forty Love provided the catering for the TDLTC Oktoberfest. Cooking typical German fare of salty pretzels, foot long bratwurst, sauerkraut and typical German condiments.
Every one had a great time and went away extremely happy with the food and of course the steins of lager served in the tennis club bar! By the end of the nigh a few people were suffering from "Stein elbow"
Gigi's Christening
Paul, I wanted to say a huge thank you for Saturday again. Everyone one was talking about how amazing the food was and into the next day too! Your team were great too, lovely teenagers! You have a whole bunch of new fans, the Thames Ditton lot are going to be visiting you at the Cricket and Tennis Club soon!
Amazing stuff. Thank you again. Very very best - Will, Tilly and Gigi
Corporate Open Day
Paul and his team were key to a really successful event we put on this summer.
We anticipated about 30 people arriving and this consistently crept up to 90 by the time of the event. Unwaveringly Paul adjusted his purchasing and and staffing levels, and delivered a fantastic spread of food, which was enjoyed by our customers, young and old. Catering for all types of differing food requirements.
I would not hesitate to reccomend Paul for your next event"

50th Birthday Party
We recently hired Forty Love for a catered birthday event in our garden, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The staff were nothing short of great. They were not only professional but also incredibly welcoming and attentive to all our guests, ensuring that everyone felt right at home.
The menu they provided was a highlight of the event. They served an outstanding selection of burgers, sausage, delicious pulled pork and salads, which had everyone coming back for seconds. The quality and flavour of the food were top-notch, perfectly complementing the relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.
Special mention goes to the two staff members who assisted throughout the day. They were efficient in pouring drinks and maintaining a cheerful and friendly demeanor, which really set a great tone for the event. The team even went out to top up on drinks when we were running low.
Overall, Forty Love exceeded our expectations. The combination of excellent food, superb service, and a welcoming attitude made for a memorable experience. We highly recommend them for any catering needs and will definitely consider them for future events. Thank you, Forty Love, for making our day special!"
40th Birthday Party
Paul catered for my husbands 40th birthday and I couldn't recommend him highly enough! We had barbecued chicken, pulled pork baps as well as some homemade sides and it was all absolutely delicious! It made the party totally stress free as he provided plates/cutlery/sauces so the clean up was minimal.
He also saved us with a last minute gazebo when the forecast changed to rain!
