The homemade desserts was outstanding

This company is excellent. Mel did my husbands 50th party Easter Saturday and we could not ask for better food and the service from Mel was outstanding. Nothing was to much for Mel , she was at venue when she said she would be there and came back later in the evening to clean away. All our guests commented on how wonderful the food was. Mel will do any food you ask. The homemade desserts was outstanding. Highly recommended. Would use Mel again for any future catering.

Thank you for doing such a superb professional job. The service was so cleverly coordinated and the food so beautiful, that many expressed their appreciation to us, which we feel we must pass on.

It was a pleasure to have you cater for us

Hi Melanie, You and your team were soooooo amazing, in fact we’ve just got home from a friends wedding today and have given another couple who are getting married next summer your details as we were so impressed, and every time we see one of our guests they talk about your fabulous food! It was a pleasure to have you cater for us
