Testimonials

Dear Jodie and Clare,

We just wanted to say many thanks for all your hard work, catering for our Killara High Ekuba evening. Jodie, in particular, thank you for your calm and professional approach and helping with all our requests and questions on the night. It was quite an eye-opener, getting glimpses of all those meals being prepared, plated, and served and seeing your wait staff (and our year 11 helpers) cope admirably with all the special dietary requests and the seat-swappers!

The feedback we have had from guests has been positive and we will certainly recommend you again to next year’s Ekuba committee.

Many thanks again,

Hi Venece,

I have had nothing but good feedback from the staff about Friday night. The guest of honour was overwhelmed with the whole night. Your staff were really great and so was the food. I have just enjoyed one of the little apple crumbles for morning tea. We only had a few sweet things left over, so all in all, quantity was excellent and the variety that we had was also excellent.

Honestly I cannot rave about Ken enough. He was efficient and kind, and even was nice enough to decline offers of help from multiple Bohos through the course of the evening.

Especially on the island, he adapted to the changing locations and timings of our festivities and made sure everything was handled from set up through clean up without us needing to think twice about any of it.

He also mixed an excellent Bohito (though I wish we’d had more limes to drink those all night, but it’s probably for the best we didn’t with their alcohol content)! The other caterer was also absolutely lovely, but I can’t remember her name (I met her after a few drinks and a lot of running around, sorry!). They both gave me complete confidence in the food situation which, thankfully, allowed me to make sure the other elements of the day ran as smoothly as they could!

The set up back at Bohemia was lovely. Made for an easy meal for us and there was heaps of food! All of it very delicious 🙂 I had confidence knowing they were around to handle that and am thankful they were here!

We honestly threw a lot at them day of (changing times as well as the difficulty of multiple locations, not to mention one of them being an island) and they handled it calmly and very well. If there was a request they couldn’t fulfil, they explained why very kindly (someone mentioned in passing trying to bump dinner a little earlier which was understandably not possible). We’re a large group and there was a ton to do on the day. Please thank them both for me. The food was delicious and looked beautiful. The drinks were fantastic. The clean up was painless for us. Your team is excellent! Even the pick up Monday morning was simple from my end. They rocked up and cleared out without much of a second thought, which was great!

The only note I’d like added to the account is to request you confirm dietary restrictions with us during menu planning. I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me to flat out say we have gluten free peeps and vegos, but it didn’t and I won’t be here for the next one 🙁 So I’d rather have an extra check in place if possible!

Again, I cannot reiterate enough how wonderful it all was. If I were to do it again, I’d have ordered a bit more for lunch on the GF side (we ran out of everything! But a few of the GF folks expressed that they wished they’d had a bit more to eat!) and brought more ice to the island (again, we ran out). But everything your team did was fantastic and I was super thankful to have all the clarifications throughout the process. Your calls were welcome and we knew we were throwing a lot at you!

Hi Jodie,

So sorry, I have been meaning to send you an email thanking you for all your hard work on Wednesday. Unfortunately I fell ill at the end of last week and have only returned back to the office today.

Thank you so much for all your help over the past few weeks in such short notice, we have had some amazing feedback on your staff and of course the food.

Again thank you so much, I really appreciate all your hard work and I look forward to working with you in the near future.

It was terrific. All our guests said there was plenty of food, and it was beautiful. Especially our very fussy eating 10 year old nephew who tasted and loved everything.

Steve and Sarah both did a great job, and were unobtrusive (in the nicest possible way). Some small spillages during service didn’t eat into the quantities (no criticism of Sarah!). Steve and our dog are now best buddies. He coped with the small dog/hot oven combination extremely well, very good under pressure.

The guests included many lawyers and accountants, so there may be some more business coming your way. Happy to recommend you guys, based on Saturday’s efforts.

Hi Jodie,

Everything was perfect! Evan was amazing. He was so polite and helpful. The food was amazing and there was more than enough. He even helped plate up left over food.

My partner, family and myself were very extremely impressed.

Very happy, thank you.

Kind Regards,

Your staff were extremely professional and friendly. (I am very happy with the service on the day) They arrived early and were set up promptly. They served the food in a timely manner and engaged with our clients.

The staff packed up and left the area very clean

I had reports that the food was great (I didn’t get to try any unfortunately) and was told by my staff that it was 100 times better than the previous caterers we have had do an event for us.

Please pass on my thanks to the chef and bartender and I thank you for all your help in the lead up to the event.

I was very happy with the whole wedding and I felt the catering was very well done, thank you to you and your team for a great effort. (And yes Katie did an amazing job organising so much).

Everyone I spoke to said they enjoyed the food, had enough to eat which was the main concern and the variety of canapés on offer catered to most tastes and appetites.

Your team were amazing, they were upbeat throughout the event and had a total fun and can do attitude. I had a lot of feedback especially about the bar boys being incredibly friendly and nothing was too much for them.

I personally missed some canapés, but I was too busy when they came around:)

Overall I enjoyed the whole event, am very, very happy with the whole day
and would recommend your business to anyone.

Hi Jodie,

It was wonderful, everyone thought the food was fantastic and Peter was brilliant to work with! Could you pass on our massive thanks to him, he was really flexible and the food was cooked to perfection!

All our overseas guests were very excited to have their first Australian BBQ (I didn’t have the heart to tell them that if it was me cooking it might not have been quite so impressive)

Many, many thanks for all your help!

Cheers

The baby shower went really well. Everyone had such a lovely time and the food was just divine.

Your barman was amazing. He had to walk up so many stairs and carry all of his equipment. He was exceptional and professional and an absolute asset to your company.

On behalf of HOYTS, I would like to say a very big thank you to you and your amazing staff for all your assistance with our 2 events at HOYTS Charlestown & Warrawong.

A big mention to Ken, Kristen & yourself for running around endlessly to cater for our requirements in such a timely manner.

We truly appreciate all the assistance Flavours Catering has provided, and exceeded our requirements and expectations to a high standard each event.

We are very grateful our paths have crossed and look forward to working on any future events that arise.

Fridays filming at both the Studio and location went really well and everyone was happy with what we achieved. It was wonderful to have you onsite, as we needed that integral connection between the production and the kitchen, so thank you. The food was really good too! Wish you could help me on my next shoot this Saturday but we are over on Cockatoo Island! Thanks again and forward me the final invoice once you have it.

We cannot thank you enough, everything went perfectly. Dee never stopped, she was willing to chip in wherever needed and with Amy they tidied up so well, I got up this morning and you could hardly see there had been anyone in the house.  I thought the whole thing went beautifully and please pass on my comments to Dee and Amy.  We will definitely use your Company again.

Also we just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU for all your organisation leading up to our event and on the night, you did an amazing job on the bar and making sure everything was running smoothly.  Your professionalism, organisation and helpfulness were outstanding and it was a pleasure working with you.

Everyone hasn’t stopped raving about the food, which was absolutely amazing so please thank the chef for us, as he was fantastic.

Hi Jodie,

Jim and I would both like to say THANK YOU to you and your amazing team for pulling the wedding reception together at such short notice. Although we had spent many months planning the big day having the reception in a marque on our property, apparently nature had other ideas and it was not meant to be. We were both totally speechless when we arrived at Penrith Paceway function centre to see the BEAUTIFUL room, which you had speedily organised. We would not have any hesitations recommending you and Flavours Catering to anyone in the future.

Thank you again so, so much for saving the day.

Best regards

“The theming, food and drink were all spectacular. There were certainly a few comments made throughout the night and even the next day!”

“The food was delivered on time, all the cold food was fresh, and all the hot food was hot. The delivery driver was polite, and it was overall an enjoyable experience. We will be ordering from Flavours again.”
