Booked for Birthday party

Delivery was great as was all the food. A little heavy with the mustard and the brownies needed to be heated and served with cream as they were very solid.

Booked for Birthday party

Absolutely amazing food! The portion sizes are that HUGE we still have some left for tomorrow's dinner (3rd day in a row). We can't thank you enough for arranging it and meeting each one of our requests. We will definitely be ordering one again in the future. Thanks Nathan and Katie

Booked for Private party

My son enjoyed tucking into his afternoon tea. Good communication from JK Munchies as Covid & lockdown did cause some issues, but JK Munchies were very accommodating with changing booking dates.

Booked for Birthday party

Brendan was quick at communicating to find details of what was required. He let me know the evening before what time the afternoon teas would be delivered. They arrived as suggested in lovely white boxes. Everything inside was delicious. The bread was so fresh and the cakes were stunning. Would definitely use Taylored Catering again.

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.
