It was fabulous having Jonathan come to cater for two dinner parties in our home. Food was fantastic and everything happened seamlessly. Jonathan was a pleasure to have in our home and I would definitely recommend him highly.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Jon from Well Seasoned Catering for several of our wine club events, and we were thoroughly impressed! The team were professional, efficient, and accommodating, ensuring that every aspect of the catering service was seamless and stress-free. The food was exceptional, with each dish expertly paired with our wines. The quality and presentation of the food was always exceptional, and our guests were always happy. We would highly recommend Well Seasoned Catering to anyone looking for a top-notch catering experience. It’s a 5 star rating and a big thumbs up from Saddler’s Creek Wines!

Wendy Lauretti

I have worked with many chefs and trust very few to deliver the 5-star standard of food and service that I expect for every one of my guests. Jonathan from Well Seasoned Catering is one of them, and that’s why I’ve chosen him as my preferred caterer for my venue, Vamp Wine Rooms.

"We went to Saddlers Creek on Saturday and the food was amazing. What the chef there from Well Seasoned Catering can do with flavours let alone it being produced in a van is simply exceptional..."

Natalie

Tessa
