Grate Catering

Grate Catering were amazing. Their food was so tasty, we had so many guests tell us how much they enjoyed it. We loved having Norman and Iris cooking on the open fire during the drinks reception, it got everyone so excited for dinner! We would highly recommend the toasties for later in the evening - they were epic! Grate Catering were great to work with, they were responsive, helpful and friendly. We felt happy knowing that we could rely on them on our wedding day. Thanks guys!

I have been to many weddings in my life and wedding food is often a bit of a disappointment. I’m not a big fan of a buffet- all that queuing! A sit down often means tables are finished before others are started and little choice on quantities. However, the food Grate did for my daughter’s wedding was a top show from start to finish. The whole set up and cooking performance was a delight and added another level of ‘wow’ factor with trout nailed to boards and open fire experience. Delivery, quantities and taste were exceptional, with many of our guests saying it was the best wedding food they have ever had. A charred Caesar salad, rustic slaw, roasted veg and the best fire roasted potatoes were the perfect accompaniments to the meat and fish choices. Everyone got to choose what they wanted at the table. It was all a show stopping performance and topped our perfect day.

Iris and Norman were great to work with, they are super friendly and personable but more than anything, they are incredibly talented. We had flank steak and trout for our wedding breakfast and three delicious sides. Everything was presented beautifully and I lost count of the amount of people who told me it was the best wedding food they had ever eaten. Would highly recommended to anybody.

The delay in writing this review does not reflect in any way whatsoever the experience we had with Grate Catering!
THEY WERE INCREDIBLE!

When we first contacted Norman and Iris we were in the early stages of planning our wedding day and from the first phone call followed months of changes and so much indecisiveness on our part!! With every change, deliberation and all of our questions we were never made to feel like we were hard work (even though we must of been!!)

They were so understanding, helpful and informative! Very professional but in a personal welcoming way!

We built our own wedding in tipis in a field and it wasn’t the most straightforward setting but Norman and Iris were so accommodating!!

We couldn’t quite believe how it was going to come together - a sit down meal for 150 followed by evening food for 250 all cooked over the coals - no electricity or anything was needed! But it just did! It was amazing!!

Our food was one of the things I think every guest commented on! No one could believe it!! Not only were the fire pits a show on their own but the food was just impeccable! The serving team were all so so great too - great rapport with guests - very professional team but fun too!!

Everything was perfect and better than we had imagined!

We just could not thank you enough!

We are so glad we found Norm + Iris to cater for our post wedding day fire feast. Fantastic to deal with them throughout the whole process and they really helped us create what we wanted from our day. They 100% delivered on the agreed menu and we plus guests were all extremely satisfied! The set up and cooking is a show in itself. Their setup is completely self sufficient and they provide recyclable tableware/cutlery if required. HIGHLY RECOMMEND and wouldn’t hesitate to be in touch again if we can find another excuse. Thanks guys!

I have tried to write this review so many times but it has always ended up being too long so I’m going to get to the point.

Norm and Iris the brains and incredible people behind Grates catering are amazing at what they do. From start to finish, I could not fault what they managed to do for us. On the day of our wedding, everyone was raving about their food. This meant that they couldn’t wait to get a taste of what they had cooked up for our late night snack option (tacos).

I honestly can’t thank you enough for everything.
