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.
