Rob was a fantastic chef, the food was delicious and I would highly recommend him. We were celebrating family birthdays and this was the perfect way to celebrate.

Booked for Private party

Great experience with Chef Pat - we booked for him to provide a meal for our parents, aunts and uncles as a thank you. Pat was quick to respond during the lead up and prompted us to pick menu choices, provide address and complete final payment the week before. Our loved ones told us that the meal was delicious and that Pat is a lovely bloke! Would recommend for sure :) thanks Pat!

Booked for Wedding

Marcel is a true professional. He was timely, focused and his food was excellent. Couldn't recommend him more highly. My sister had the perfect intimate family meal and we will definitely call on Marcel again! Thank you!

Booked for Birthday party

Amazing experience with In-spired Catering. Fantastic food and great service. Couldn’t do more for us and coped well with the chaos of 6 children running around the house! Even added a little birthday touch for the dessert! Thank you!

Booked for Birthday party

James and Luke were our chefs for the evening, catering for a surprise party of 12 for a 60th birthday celebration. Although there was initially a little confusion as to the amount of choices we had from the menu, this was quickly resolved. We settled on a three course meal from the summer menu which was absolutely magnificent. Every plate, every course, whether vegetarian or meat, were all beautiful. The presentation was lovely and every dish arrived at the same time, steaming hot and tasty. I must point out that this was a surprise dinner party for 6 of the guests and yet James had taken time to study each individual menu choice noting who had chosen what before serving us thus avoiding having to ask who had ordered what. Very professionally done. Both James and Luke arrived two hours prior to our seating time and worked efficiently but quietly, creating our stunning meal and once we had finished they quietly washed and tidied away all of the dishes afterwards. You would never have known they had been there! I cannot rate these guys highly enough. They were both so polite too and even left a lovely birthday card for the birthday boys before leaving. Should an occasion arise when I needed a caterer, I would not hesitate in contacting James Howe again.

Booked for Hen party

Chef Silvestre cooked an amazing three course dinner and canapés for my friend’s hen party - he was really helpful and adaptable with the menu, great fun and everyone was really impressed with the food. Would definitely recommend him - 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.
