Our Favourite Caterers
Doug Gaunt is very local and is an excellent chef who can do pretty much anything from private event catering to simply baking you some sourdough or making some pre-prepared meals for the freezer.
Jemima of Taste Buds is also brilliant for any occasion. She will deliver home cooked meals for your freezer, she will cater for a dinner party and she will do everything in between.
Clare Doggart of Doggart & Squash is another of our recommended caterers. She can also offer you anything from a dropped-off, home-cooked meal, to a fully catered event.

Buying Food In
Whilst East Wittering is well served with a small Tesco and Co-Op, plus all of the main supermarkets will deliver to your holiday property, we would love you to support all our local independent businesses during your stay.
We recommend Horrocks or Munneries in East Wittering for your fresh fruit and vegetables. Local butchers AS Wallace in East Wittering and Tessiers in West Wittering are both excellent for fresh and cooked meat and pies. We also highly recommend a stroll down to the bottom of Shore Road where you will find Bob in his “Fisherman’s Hut”. He is normally there between 11am and 4pm but it depends on the available catch. All his fish is freshly caught so get there early to get the best he has to offer.
New to the Witterings is Magaroo, a fantastic online platform launched during lockdown to help support the high street and local community.
The service allows you to pre order all of your food and groceries for delivery or click and collect in advance of, and during your holiday. No need to do the supermarket run, or fight for a delivery slot. After all, you are on holiday! The local fruit and veg providers are fantastic, as are the local butchers, fishmongers and bakery shops. Magaroo also works with lots of the local restaurants so when you fancy a night off, you can order in a takeaway…burgers, pizzas, sushi, Italian…everything is covered.
To use the service simply go to www.magaroo.com and register, using your holiday address down here for your delivery details.
