“Securing catering for an event can be a daunting task but I cannot fault Sam and his incredible service! From the first quote right down to the final clean up the experience was amazing. Sam’s professionalism is second to none and the food was incredible! The selection we could choose from for our canapé event were delicious!! Every single guest commented on how good the food was and they all felt well fed during the night. Ruby was our waitress for the evening and she handled our room of rowdy cricket boys like a pro! So polite, so professional and didn’t miss a beat all night! We are already trying to come up with more events so we can have Sam’s catering again! Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend!”

“We had a wonderful experience having Big Flavours cater for us for my husband’s 40th. Sam and the team were professional, easy to work with and made the whole experience so positive. The canapés that were served were delicious and so many guests commented on how great the food was. The food came out constantly and the addition of a substantial canape for all guests left them full and satisfied with the delicious meal. The food was cooked so easily at home, there was no mess to clean up afterwards and the service was excellent. Highly recommend Big Flavours. Big thank you to Sam and the team!!”

“WOW! These guys were phenomenal. With Sam and Elliot creating and serving delicious and flavour filled canapés, and Vic working the bar the guests attending our joint 40th celebration over the weekend were well fed whilst enjoying a variety of mixers. The team were so professional and were key to the success of the night. Scheduling and menu choice was easy, the set up to pack up was subtle, quick and thorough, leaving us to socialise. Must comment… Great value, delicious food and fabulous service – all big ticks. But also these guys are just good humans too! Thanks guys”

“Big Flavours recently did the catering for the 50th wedding anniversary party of my parents earlier this month. They provided canapés, followed by a 2 course sit down meal (verde risotto with king prawn and lamb rump), salads and table ware. We were all thoroughly impressed with the quality, taste and presentation of the food. Sam was polite, efficient, friendly and a true professional on the day. He was flexible and communicated very well with us. The kitchen was left in an immaculate state also! His staff were very friendly and professional too. I wholeheartedly recommend Big Flavours and will certainly use them again in the future! Thank you Sam and your team for making the party such a wonderful, memorable evening and a resounding success!”
