Booked for Anniversary

Mario was excellent right from the first message. He was responsive and was always able to guide me through the steps of choosing a menu and ensuring that the evening was well prepared for. He arrived on time and quickly got to work preparing a fabulous meal. It was totally worth the money and I will be looking to book Mario again in the future for.

Laur and his team were fantastic - they came and did precisely what they said they would do - fitting into our surroundings and v quickly making a great impression on everyone - they laid a splendid table, served guests impeccably, somehow put on a wonderful meal including birthday celebrations and were tidied up and gone without disturbing the party - couldn't recommend Laur and his team enough and would definitely use again

Booked for Celebration

"We are a family of 12 and we booked a weeks Christmas holiday in a large house in Chester. About 3 months before the event we made enquiries with a number of chefs regarding our Christmas dinner. One of these was Dave at Peninsula Catering. We were immediately impressed by his professionalism and customer service, particularly the fact that he came to our house about 2 months before the event to discuss our exact requirements. On Christmas Day, he arrived at the agreed time and prepared a superb 4 course meal for our family. We could not have been happier with his professionalism, friendliness and the quality of his cooking and service. We would have no hesitation about using Peninsula Catering again for a similar event, and we would thoroughly recommend them for anyone who is looking for a great chef."

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
