Lovely staff, attentive to dietary needs and clear at communicating. I've used them for event catering and it's been a very pleasant experience.

This wasn’t just disappointing — it was reckless, careless, and absolutely unacceptable. When a customer specifically orders Vegetarian or Vegan food, it’s not a suggestion — it’s a clear instruction. It is basic common sense that such food must be packed separately, clearly labeled, and handled with care. Instead, my vegetarian meal was shoved into the same box as meat items, completely contaminating it.

We had a great experience with Catering Dept at our recent event at Hub Australia. Fernando, the Smooth Operator, came in the day before to walk us through the whole plan, which really put us at ease. His preparation and attention made a big difference. On the day, everything ran smoothly. The food was delicious, the presentation was impressive, and the service was spot on. The waitstaff were well dressed, respectful, and paid close attention to the details throughout the event. The rest of the team was also excellent. Communication over email was clear and organised. They outlined everything we needed to consider and even reminded me to arrange extra meals for guests with dietary or allergy needs, which was a big help while I was juggling other event tasks. Professional team, flawless delivery. Would definitely recommend.

We worked with The Catering Department on a five-week film shoot, feeding upwards to 90 people multiple times per day across the shoot. Their team are warm, efficient, and excellent at problem-solving. Plus, they make delicious meals! Highly recommend them for complex catering needs!

We ordered quite a few boxes for a recent function and were impressed with the quality of food and service. All food arrived on time and presented beautifully, all of the staff we interacted with were friendly and professional at all time. Thank you.

I used the Catering Department for pre wedding catering last week and from variety online to ordering and email communication to delivery on the day, the process was seamless. The food was delivered safely and on time the driver was personable and delivered right into the venue. The presentation was lovely and the food was just as ordered. Very happy and would absolutely recommend.

The Catering Dept was great. I utilised their services for a morning tea at work. Their website makes placing an order simple and easy. The tax invoice is easily accessible through their platform and the catering was delivered slightly ahead of schedule - so smooth, so easy!

We hosted our annual Christmas event, and it was a stand out event! The food was beautiful and the team at The Catering Department were so helpful and accomodating and did everything to ensure we hosted a smooth and successful event. Big shout out to Brendan and the team. You were an absolute pleasure to work with and we can't wait to host an event again with you.

I used the catering dept for my daughters recent 21st. I chose the buffet package and it was absolutely amazing. I chose the Catering Dept by reviews and they did NOT disappoint. The food arrived hot, on time and it was very tasty. It was plentiful . we had plenty of leftovers. some of my guests were the fussiest eaters but they even enjoyed the food. I would use the TCD again for my next function.
