Bespoke catered a 15 person wedding reception for my wife and I. Out of the caterers we shortlisted, they were by far the most professional to deal with and had the widest offering. We were spoilt for choice with their menu, and were lucky enough to be provided with some of their recommendations. We taste tested these and knew right away we'd found the perfect caterers. Fast forward to the day, they showed up, knew exactly how to navigate the foreign kitchen, worked autonomously and provided the most amazing lunch to our pre-discussed schedule. Our guests haven't stopped talking about their food experience since. We're already trying to find excuses to host another event and cannot wait to work with Bespoke Catering again in the near future!!

I had Bespoke Catering come to my home for a special part of my 50th birthday celebrations. I cannot speak highly enough of Fabio and his team. The professionalism, cuisine, friendliness and service was 6 star and I’m so thrilled - they made my night perfect and I highly recommend them for any event. Delicious food, amazing service. Thanks Fabio, Dion, Axel and Rosie for a fabulous evening 😊

To the wonderful Fabio & Bespoke team, Thank you for the exceptional catering service you provided at our recent event. Everyone was truly impressed and couldn't stop raving about how delicious the food was throughout the night. We couldn't have asked for a better catering experience, and we look forward to working with you again in the future. Thank you once again! Mandy

I hosted a lunch for 10 ladies at my home for my birthday. Fabio and his team set up, prepared and served delicious food and attended to topping up drinks. Their work was carried out efficiently and seamlessly, my kitchen was left clean too! I am very grateful to the team for helping make my birthday celebration so special. I have no hesitation in recommending them. Thank you again 🤗

A most wonderful event. The feeling of peace that we experienced knowing that Fabio cared for us as well as the event, and also understood our needs, and was in complete control, is rare and valued enormously by us. Fabio is flexible, accommodating, professional, stylish, and clearly talented.
