About Lauren's Catering

About Lauren’s Catering

Tony Byrne is the man in charge at Lauren’s Catering and has been since day one, some 30 years ago. Having started work in a baker’s at 16, Tony went on to work for three of the biggest bakers in Gloucester before opening his shop on Bristol Road.

It is still there busily trading today and he sees customers who used to buy buns as schoolchildren returning as adults.

Lauren’s Catering is proud to be a family concern. The company is named after one of Tony’s daughters and another, Aisling, is Company Secretary.

Tony currently employs 13 staff who he values for their hard working attitude, reliability and loyalty. Many of the core team have been with him for several years.

A shining example is Carole Kurylak. Carole is Tony’s PA and has been with him since that first day all those years ago back on Bristol Road.

Where it all started …

Tony Byrne is the man in charge at Lauren’s Catering and has been since day one, some 30 years ago. Having started work in a baker’s at 16, Tony went on to work for three of the biggest bakers in Gloucester before opening his shop on Bristol Road, just over 30 years ago.

Sadly the Bristol Road shop is not trading today but, for years Tony used  to see customers who used to buy buns as schoolchildren returning as adults.

“We have worked with Lauren’s for a number of years now – fantastic, friendly customer service and lovely food is what brings us back literally, every day. There is flexibility when placing large orders, and on tight timescales and we are always impressed by the buffet services and options available."

Prospect Training Services

“I can highly recommend Tony, Ian and the team at Lauren’s Catering company. We have been working in partnership for over 2 years, and always receive a fantastic 100% from their customer service, always willing to make changes, and deliver at short notice, I would highly recommend Lauren’s for their day to day services, buffets and their excellent service."

Nine Group

“Lauren’s have provided our Free School Meal Service since its inception and manage to provide a fresh and healthy lunch for our children on a very small budget. We have been delighted with the service and their flexibility when it comes to our more ‘fussy eaters’. Their delivery is prompt on a daily basis and they are extremely accommodating when we have school visits etc. often dropping off the meals before 9.00am.

We would thoroughly recommend their service.”

Foxmoor Primary School

I have been using Lauren’s for about a year to provide catering for meetings and in house events.

I have found them to be helpful, reliable and efficient in all areas and would happily recommend them to others.

Rachael Wells - Rygor Commercials

I am most happy with their service. They can produce catering services even at weekends when we need them. I have always found that the food service that they provide has arrived in a timely manner, that there are very generous portions and it is always very fresh.

It is very easy to place orders over the telephone and the staff are very efficient and friendly. Overall, the service is very good indeed.

Sad, Sad News …

It is with a heavy heart that we need to inform you of the closure of our Bristol Road branch. We apologise for the inconvenience that this may cause to our loyal customers and would like to take this opportunity to thank you for an amazing 26 years of business and for helping us to grow into the company we are today, which started here in Bristol Road back in August 1993.

Don’t worry though, we are still operating from our Waterwells shop where we offer our takeaway/delivery service, buffet services and we also still run our fleet of 6 snack vans!
Oh, and don’t forget, If you would like one of our vans to call to your workplace, please just give us a call on 01452 382690 and we will be happy to arrange this for you.

We look forward to seeing you at our Waterwells shop very soon!
