Angena and her team gave impeccable service. Easy to communicate with and very pleasant indeed. The food was delivered on time and nice and hot. My mistake was not asking more clearly about a menu item - I thought the fried fish would be hot not a cold dish. However, it didn't matter at all as it was absolutely delicious along with all the rest of the food. Absolutely top notch and we got a ton of wonderful compliments. I highly recommend Deans Caribbean Kitchen.

Absolutely wonderful spread for our wedding buffet. I didn't meet Michael myself but my husband said he was very nice and friendly. The food was beyond our expectations and would definitely recommend Gingernut Catering.

Hi it's James from Poptop, Myself and my girlfriend booked a Sunday dinner from Matei. Due to COVID-19 the food was delivered to our door step. The food was as delicious as any restaurant and Matei used all the necessary precautions. I would highly recommend to any Poptop clients andI will 100% be booking again :) Thanks, James

Thanks so much for an absolutely wonderful evening Charis! Wonderful communication throughout and you created such a thoughtful and incredible menu which really made the weekend. And not to forget, the food looked and tasted incredible! Thank you so much and a special thanks for catering so well for all of the guests with various food intolerances who really felt so included in the menu choices! We couldn’t recommend your service more, thank you for everything! x

When you have 120 guests all saying you had the best-catered wedding they've ever been to *how* can you not give 5 stars 🤷🏼‍♂️ With HUGE delicious portions that left no one disappointed, I was beyond impressed beyond all expectation. The staff, oh my gosh - from Jenny who helped us through the seamless booking process to the team of Paella master chefs on the day who greeted each and every person with a big smile and an even bigger plate of paella 😍 10/10 will book again whenever & where ever I am able. I can't thank you all enough for being apart of the perfect day x Good for parties · Professional staff · Delicious food · Creative cuisine · Great value · Experienced chefs
