Selected five-star reviews from private dining and catering experiences delivered by Chef Justin and his former team.
Our private chef, Minn, was absolutely incredible – every dish he prepared impressed and delighted everyone. Justin was a pleasure to deal with, making the whole process seamless and accommodating all of our dietary requirements with ease. We’ll definitely be using them again for our next event!
Chef Justin put on an absolute feast for our private dinner, with my personal highlight being the cheesecake balls for dessert!! definitely lost count of how many of them I had! I would 1000% use him again for future events.
So impressed with the services! My xmas in July guests were so happy with the food!
I was so impressed with everything! The food was absolutely delicious, every dish was flavorful and perfectly prepared. Beyond the taste, the presentation was stunning. It really added a touch of elegance to the entire event. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for top-notch catering!
Justin and the team are so professionals! Food is exceptional and I especially love the their wonderful canape food. Would highly recommend
Great food for my housewarming! Would definitely use again. Thank you Justin!
Amazing food and service!! An unforgettable night filled with delicious meals. Thank you to our chef, Justin :))
Justin patiently cooked for us and he spent the whole afternoon till close to midnight cooking for us and engaging with our friends, the food tastes great and the presentation is elegant. Thank you
We've had Chef Justin cater for a number of our family events over the years, and we always walk away feeling happy with the service he provides. From small and intimate, to large and loud, Chef Justin has been able to deliver a number of different menus for us and our families.
I shared the house space at a private home with Justin and his team at a recent wedding. I observed that the team were all so lovely, and passionate about ‘getting it right’ for the guests. I overheard several guests rave over the food too. I had the slow cooked lamb myself, and it was absolutely amazing - would recommend!
Justin catered my friend's birthday last weekend, and the food was absolutely incredible! Everyone raved about how delicious it was, and his hospitality was truly five-star. I can't wait to book him again!
Hiring Justin was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! From start to finish, the experience was seamless and absolutely delightful. The menu was thoughtfully curated, tailored to our preferences, and every dish was an explosion of flavours. Justin made sure everything was perfect, leaving me free to enjoy a stress-free evening.
We had the pleasure of having Justin cater our intimate backyard wedding. Everyone enjoyed the food and said there was more than enough. There was a great variety, the sliders were a hit! Justin and his team did a fantastic job. Thank you!
We just had Chef Justin cater a dinner party for 15 guests. The food was amazing, and the service impeccable. It was great hearing his story and how he developed such an amazing business. Will be using him again for all future events.
Absolutely incredible dinner party that Chef Justin prepared for an early Christmas celebration. The ambiance, food and attention to detail was second to none. We were treated to an incredible feast that was so delicious and a dinner to remember.
Thanks for amazing me at my birthday! The food was 5* and the service even better!!!
We had Justin cater our girls Christmas event. Great service, food was amazing, generous serving sizes. Definitely would recommend if you are looking to have a private function or a fun girls night.
The most delicious and the only chef you will ever want to book!
Thank you Justin and team for your wonderful food and service. Right from beginning when sorting the menu to the night of our Wedding Party. So professional and friends were raving about the food weeks later. Highly recommend them as they saved me so much stress about such an important part of our event.
Had Justin & his team cater one of my dearest friend's wedding - relaxed & calm. Plenty of well presented plates on tables and waitstaff walking around with fresh hot offerings. Plenty of Vegan, GF choices for all; would definitely recommend.
Justin recently catered our wedding and the food was incredible. We had 180 guests and everyone was full with delicious canapes. Thanks again Justin.
