Booked for Corporate Function

Very friendly and flexible, excellent service delivered. We did somewhat expect the spectacle of a whole hog roasted like in the photos which wasn't the case, but the food was delicious none the less and everyone had a great time! Thank you

Booked for Wedding

The Palate Box catered our wedding at Gwrych Castle last month and I can’t praise them enough! Everyone was spoilt for choice and we had so many comments about the quality of the food. There were some problems with the power supply from the castle but Rob handled it so professionally and made sure that everyone had plenty to eat. Great food and great service! Absolutely brilliant, I would highly recommend. Thanks again for helping to make our day amazing!

Booked for Wedding

The staff were helpful and flexible, there was a threat of rain, so rather than doing just a buffet they served the food on the tables to our guests. The food itself was delicious, well cooked an the silence during the meal spoke volumes. We would certainly consider them again for a function.

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.
