Absolutely 10/10 from start to finish! From the very first time we chatted, right through to the lead-up to our wedding and the actual day, the entire experience was incredible. The communication, organisation and care we received throughout the whole process was beyond what we could have asked for. We always felt looked after, supported and confident that everything was going to be taken care of. And the food… absolutely 10/10! Every dish was delicious, our guests couldn’t stop talking about it, and the service on the night was incredible. Everything ran so smoothly and professionally, which made such a huge difference on such an important day for us. A special shout-out to Phil, who went above and beyond to help me with absolutely everything. Your support, patience and willingness to help throughout the whole wedding planning process meant so much to me and genuinely made things so much easier. Thank you to the entire team for helping make our wedding day so special. We couldn’t have asked for a better catering experience and would recommend you in a heartbeat! 🤍

I loved everything about the experience I had with Phil and Catering by chefs! Phil worked with me to set a menu that matched my budget and stayed in close contact as the event got closer. On the night the food was amazing and the service first class. My guests all commented how great the food was. Best part was that I got to relax and enjoy my party while Phil and the team took care of the catering. I loved it and would do it again!!

An incredible job by the entire team. The food was fantastic, beautifully presented and the service flowed seamlessly around our formal program. From the grazing table through to roaming canapés and dessert, everything was handled professionally and effortlessly. Our guests were extremely well looked after and we received some wonderful feedback.

We couldn't have been happier with Catering By Chefs for our daughter's Bat Mitzvah. The food was absolutely delicious and we received many compliments throughout the night. We also had to pull the menu together in a very short space of time, and Phil made the whole process easy. His customer service was faultless, and his attention to detail was exceptional. We highly recommend Catering By Chefs for any special event.

Catering by chefs provided food for a birthday celebration in our home last weekend and it was fabulous. The contact we had from Phil at the beginning was great he was very easy to deal with, professional, very friendly and made the whole process easy. On the day both the chef Emily and the waitress Jan were great, arrived on time, prepared all the food in our kitchen and tidied up at the end so there was no mess for us to clean up. The food was amazing, a great variety of good quality, tasty food that all the guests enjoyed at a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend Catering by chefs for your next event.

The team at Catering By Chefs were excellent. It was so easy, they arrived on time, set themselves up, fed everyone, cleaned up and left, I barely noticed them other than the food being served. I felt like a guest myself. We had lots of positive comments on the food so I would definitely recommend. Also the communication before the event and follow up afterwards was very good.

We had a last minute change to our Mother's 90th Birthday and were lucky enough to stumble across Phil and Catering by Chefs. From the first contact we had with him we knew we were on a winner. The food was absolutely magnificent. Craig, the chef who came to our home was kind, thoughtful and incredibly respectful while working in someone else’s kitchen. The setup looked beautiful and the care taken with presentation was evident. What impressed us even more was how spotless our kitchen was left afterwards. Phil also followed up after the event to check how everything went, which showed a genuine commitment to their customers. From start to finish it was outstanding. Great service, incredible food and wonderful attention to detail. Thanks for making mum's day so special.
