We had Richard & his team cater for a 60th birthday party and it was absolutely brilliant!! Everyone raved about the food and the service was excellent! They came, setup, fed us and then tidied up - there was nothing for us to worry about except getting ourselves ready! We will certainly be using Richard again for our next event!!

Rich put on a magnificent spread after my sister in laws funeral. Although it was a sad day for the family, the care and attention to detail of the food that was presented was second to none and helped bring a little joy to a sad occasion.
Many of the quests commented on the fine quality of the entire menu and presentation.
Thanks Rich. A great job.
