Testimonials

Perfect Wedding - Going Gourmet did the catering for our wedding in November. The food was delicious, served on time and there was plenty to eat and drink. Staff were professional on the night but most importantly so helpful in the lead up. The team were willing to help out via email, phone and face to face appointments. Big shout out to Erica and Rochelle. They take the stress out of the event and go above and beyond to make your big day run seamlessly. Additionally, they offer a free tasting and we went back for another which we paid for to make sure we were across all of our options. Would recommend to anyone. Very happy with Going Gourmet and would book them again.

The best decision ever, was to get Going Gormet to cater for 40 family and friends gathered to celebrate our daughter's 18th birthday. We had a chef and wait person come, set up and serve the finger food ordered for the occasion. Both staff were lovely people, friendly, and helpful. The best part was they cleaned up afterwards! The food was delicious, plentiful, and of good quality. We are still receiving compliments about the food, and to me, that says it all. Thank you Going Gormet and your wonderful staff for helping make the night a success.

From the first phone call, going gourmet was very professional, and so wonderful to deal with. The food on the day of our function was absolutely amazing, everyone has raved about how fantastic it was. And the service was highly professional. They really did take a lot of stress out of organising our function. I would very much recommend them and will absolutely be using them again for all my future functions.

I used Going Gourmet - the Cocktail Experience - for the catering at my 50th birthday party at home. The quality and quantity of the food was amazing. The quality exceeded my expectations and many guests commented on the great food. The staff were very friendly and efficient and made the night very stress free and enjoyable. I highly recommend this company and will be using them again for my next event.

I just wanted to thank you and your team for making our Staff Christmas Party and great success. From the first contact I had with you guys I was very comfortable and the whole process was very easy, there was no pressure. Going Gourmet as a company is very easy to deal with and a great operation. Our Chef and Waitress where great, very friendly and only too pleased to attend to any of our needs, working together with us to make sure we were happy with the time the food was bought out. The food was amazing and the service was wonderful and very attentive. They looked after us so well. At the end of the night you wouldn’t even know they had been there, the kitchen was spotless. Everyone commented on how good they were and how nice the food was. I have no hesitation in recommending Going Gourmet as caterer’s or using them again if the occasion arises. It was so nice as the hostess not to have to do any of the work. I could actually mingle with our guests. Thank you all once again for a great job.

Glen and his team provided excellent food and service at our wedding; the sharing platters and canapes were as lovely as they were at our tasting.

Going Gourmet catered for my brother’s vegan wedding in 2019 when Erica was managing. The food and service was incredible hence why I contacted them recently to potentially cater for my wedding this year. Unfortunately, I have not had the same experience dealing with the new manager Glenn, and safe to say I will not be recommending Going Gourmet to friends and family. At the beginning, Glenn was pleasant to interact with in regards to arranging a potential vegan/omnivore menu and was happy to brainstorm and customise a menu that suited us and our guests. I was set on Going Gourmet to cater for my seated wedding of 140 people. As many of people would know, this is a $10k + contract easy. However when it came down to arranging a tasting, I had several queries and questions leading up to a tasting to understand the terms and what’s included. Despite sending thorough emails and reasonable questions, I was often met with short, brief emails that did not answer my concerns or questions at all. On top of that, I was treated as a ‘special’ case requesting for a vegan tasting and quoted almost 250% greater than what my brother was charged for his vegan tasting in 2019, noting the tasting was only considering preparing 60% of our selected menu. I understand after Covid that prices will be inflated to make up for lost time, however this was not the same standard of service my brother had experienced for his wedding. He was definitely not charged extra for the tasting because he had dietary requirements and made to feel like a ‘special’ case because of it - regardless of whether it is vegan dietary requirements, or halal, gluten free or kosher. This is also considering that they already have a fully dedicated vegan menu. It is something they obviously frequently cater for. We had tried to reason with opting for a group tasting rather than a private tasting because we were shocked by the price! My last correspondence from Glenn was “Totally understand. Just jumping on a plane. What would you like to try at the tasting then? Obviously with low cost, i cant have a chef working the whole day on 20 different menu items.” This was the last straw. And completely left a sour taste in my mouth and I did not engage in any further correspondence. We have not even come to an agreement yet, and I’m already frustrated with this poor standard of service and dismissive responses, I definitely did not want to have this type of stress hanging over me on my wedding day! It’s safe to say I have since found an amazing caterer that provides excellent customer service and client relationship, takes care in responding to emails and queries, and definitely does not treat me as a special case for having dietary requirements.

We first used Going Gourmet in September 2018, for a sit down, 3 course meal for 40 people to celebrate my fathers 80th. It was perfect. Great service and great food. On Feb 29th I had the good fortune to use Going Gourmet again for a surprise party at my place for a dear friend. Vincent(Chef) & Ash(wait staff) were wonderful, working so well together - the food was delicious and Ash made sure everyone was well catered for. Thank you so much Glenn and all your team - you stand out from the rest. I definitely recommend and will use you again. Keep up your high standards

We booked Going Gourmet for our wedding and couldn't have been happier. The food was delicious and plentiful. All our guests were raving about it! The staff of the night were lovely and professional and Erica was so friendly and helpful throughout the entire process. We would definitely book them again and recommend them to others!
