The sip and paint evening on 5 December…
The sip and paint evening on 5 December was oversold on the website. It said there would be bubbles before we painted and there wasn’t. It said there would be festive pieces to paint that would be ready for your Christmas table and on the night we were told they wouldn’t be ready for Christmas. And there wasn’t very little guidance or help from the staff. We did still enjoy our evening but it was disappointing that it wasn’t as advertised.
Great service and quality food
Thanks so much for the grazing platter. Presentation was so good. We particularly liked the pesto.
Service was really good. Will definitely be using Loaf again.
Sensational Sausage rolls
Delivered catering right on time, everything was delicious. Will be back for more sausage rolls.
To celebrate my friend's birthday
To celebrate my friend's birthday, we visited Paint Me, Glaze Me, and had a wonderful time. The afternoon was delightful, and we each left with a beautiful piece. I was so impressed that I suggested it to another friend, who also booked a session for her friend's birthday. They were equally thrilled with the experience.
We would use this service again
The food was well labelled and guests enjoyed it. The delivery times available didn't quite match in with the event timetable and we had to reheat the soups, off site, but perhaps we could have made different arrangements by phoning rather than just leaving it to the online ordering system.
Delivery was good and on time but...
Delivery was good and on time, but very disappointed with the canapes. First, they were extremely small, secondly, they were quite soft and soggy and did not at all appear fresh (even if they were fresh they did not look it). They were delivered in a box completely full of leafy green dressing which was of absolutely no benefit to the canapes or their presentation. Very disappointed. We were using them for a corporate event but ended up disposing of the bulk of them.
Great wee afternoon.
Very friendly staff and a great wee afternoon. Would highly recommend.

Outstanding Lunch Catering
Our catering on both days from Loaf was outstanding. The sandwiches were so fresh and tasty with lots of different fillings to please all my trainees. The traybakes were the perfect sweet treat to fuel our learning and everyone really enjoyed their lunch.
Relaxing afternoon!
We had such a lovely afternoon in paint and glaze. It was very relaxing and the atmosphere was very positive. We can’t wait to go back!
Wonderful staff
Really lovely staff who made the painting experience very enjoyable. We really enjoyed the time spent to relax and unwind in some creativity. The pottery selection available to paint was lovely and it was very useful to have the glaze wheel to see how the colours look after firing. Great cup of tea too!
Really excellent little gem
Really excellent little gem! We enjoyed our afternoon painting different pieces. Everyone is very friendly, will definitely be back.

The recipient of my gift voucher didn't receive the email. I've contacted on the phone and twice via email to see if it can be resent and have heard nothing back.
Expresso cup
Refer image, title and description are read descript accurate. Good feedback through email. Arrive, good good, like the touch "loaf" initial of the bottom of the piece.
I’ve used Loaf several time
I’ve used Loaf several time, the food and service has always been great
A bit disappointing
Three stars awarded because the two fruit platters were disappointing- full of melon and water melon, with a handful of grapes, very few strawberries and a tiny bit of pineapple. Sadly not up to the standard of the sandwiches which were delicious and thoroughly enjoyed
