Our experience with Gingernut catering was excellent. From start to finish they were friendly and accommodating and the food was amazing! The kitchen was left spotless and they made our weekend the best celebrations for my grandparents 80th birthdays

Kieran and his team were absolutely fantastic from start to finish - From the initial consultation, to design on the menu and suggestions made, to the execution on the day, everything was faultless! Our guests complimented the food non-stop. Kieran clearly uses quality produce and is a talented chef, we really cannot thank him enough for making our event such a success.

We absolutely loved our experience. I was a bit worried about organising everything for our event (a hen do in a rental cottage in the middle of nowhere) but everything was made so easy for us and went without a hitch. Great portions and cooked to perfection, the food was absolutely fantastic and was talked about for days afterwards! Thank you!!

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.
