They were very responsive and couldn’t do enough but the food was ok. Some of it was tasteless and the person that laid the food forgot to take it out of the boxes so when we arrived with my guests I had to start unpacking the boxes. This stressed me out very much. The overall experience was very good, customer service was excellent. Food was OK. If I had to do it all over again, I would not choose the finger buffet. I have booked them for my barbecue in June so hoping the taste will be delicious and not mediocre. I will recommend them to my son for his wedding next year, as their customer service is excellent.

Pink Diamond Catering - Grace, Chef Praveen and team were wonderful to work with. Grace is really lovely and designed a menu perfect for our needs and event. On the night, they were professional, friendly, reliable and food was outstanding - everyone commented on how amazing and delicious it was. The team were very organised, neat and on time and I have no hesitation in using them again or recommending them. Heartfelt thanks again. Chellex

Paul was brilliant from start to finish. He was in touch a few times before the event to check in and ensure he had all the info required. Sadly, the weather didn’t hold out for us on the day but Paul worked through the rain and created some amazing food and provided a wonderful, friendly and professional service. I would highly recommend him! Thank you for doing such a fantastic job, you really helped to make the day special, you were brilliant, thank you!

Michael is a first-class caterer. In the days and weeks before the event (my mum's 70th birthday), he explained clearly what was on offer and asked questions about the venue to ensure he had everything he needed. The food was excellent. Although slightly fewer guests attended than we had anticipated, that meant more people had extra portions. I can't recommend Gingernut Catering enough.

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.
