Food is okay. But delivery is not up to standard. For a catering business, quality of food and on time delivery is essential. It was so stressful waiting for delivery. The delivery was so late and the driver called a wrong person.....:(

Amazing! Great flavour, great customer service - brilliant

Sammy See 01/07/2025

I paid over $249 for an order of sandwiches, rice balls and party pies. The quality of the order was extremely disappointing. The food was borderline inedible, with the texture of cardboard. Hardly and filling in the sandwich, Was it left out on the benchtop overnight? The quality would be unacceptable for a $5 special from the supermarket, let alone premium priced supposedly gourmet sandwiched. Gluten free does not translate to dry and rough. I hope this is not reflective of the standard of your catering, as I would hate for other customer to have the same experience.”

EXCELLENT PRODUCTS AS USUAL. I would certainly recommend for any occasion - thus far I have done a "finger food" package for a cocktail party and just recently a selection of "morning tea" goodies (sandwiches and cakes) for a birthday high tea. YUM YUM YUM. Well packaged and presented and extremely easy to order and pick up. My photo doesn't really do the goodies justice and the stuff displayed wasn't even the half of it :)

Chris Lamb 27/02/2025

I'm very impressed with the catering. Easy online ordering process and I only gave them two days notice. The quality of the food is very good and was brought to our door on time, hot and ready to serve. Will use them again.

I needed some finger sandwiches and mini cakes for a recent funeral I was organising and googled finger sandwiches and up Catering Zone. It was easy to select what I wanted, see how the food was presented and cost. Ordered before 3pm for next day delivery. By the time I arrived at the venue the orders had already arrived. Easy! I would definitely use Catering Zone again. Even their request for a review was easy, only two questions and summit.

We needed to organise a wedding in 3 weeks due to a family members terminal diagnosis and ordered online for pick up. The food surpassed all expectations and was just amazing. Our order included chocolate covered strawberries and they were flavourful and everyone enjoyed them. We got cannoli which were large, crunchy and yummy. We got a selection of sandwiches and brioche rolls and all the fillings were delicious. The pies and sausage rolls were flavourful and our guests loved them. Thank you so much catering zone for making our wedding memorable with your wonderful food! We will absolutely be recommending your business to family and friends.

Last minute requirement for one of our groups requiring same day service. Exceptionally handled by Harry & the team. We'll be back!

Darroll Allart 19/05/2023

I often require catering for hospital events and came across Catering Zone. The food is exactly as you see it on the website. The range available is incredible and the food has been fantastic and well received by customers. It presents very well. I would add that if you're ordering outside the delivery area then to give them a call as they can sort something out if it's not too far or charge accordingly.

We made several orders this week and all were delivered on time and with good care. We are so very happy with the service, variety and quality of products and will continue to order through Catering Zone. I just wanted to say Thank You on behalf of my team! Also a feature worth mentioning for businesses, ordering through the online account makes it easy to track and manage and the Tax Invoice in downloadable.

Sandy J 23/10/2022

Happy Guests - The feedback from our course participants was fantastic! The food arrived on time and like it had just been made to order. Selections were fresh and everything tasted great. The serves were generous which is important as the last thing you want is to run out of food at an event. So happy we found Catering Zone... They will be our first choice for all our events.

Karen Rugamas 16/12/2019
