Cargo Catering absolutely nailed it! The food was incredible – vibrant, full of flavour, and perfectly matched to our fun, relaxed wedding vibe. They offered such a great variety of options to choose from, also catering to all dietary needs without compromising on taste or presentation. Our guests are still raving about the food!

Cargo catered a party to celebrate the opening of our new office. We had 150 people, with a mix of children and adults and the food went down a storm. The grazing table looked spectacular and tasted even better, and there was something for everyone. I was particularly impressed with how flexible they were in catering to dietary requirements and preferences. I would definitely use Cargo again for our future events.

Cargo just catered for my 40th Birthday Party and they were an absolute dream to work with! Their communication and service in the lead up to the event was superb, and on the night the staff were so friendly and made everything so easy. And of course the food was amazing! I had so many comments from guests about how delicious the canapes were. I would definitely use Cargo Catering for future events and I will be recommending them to my friends.

Cargo Catering Co recently catered for our staff end of year breakfast. The quality of their food is amazing. Noelia was so easy to work with and her communication was outstanding. They couldn’t have been more accommodating and made our event great. I highly recommend this business.

Nicki was excellent, for our office party. She bought trestle tables with table clothes, food set up was nice, labelled, there were plates, serviettes and all. She also set up and ran the bar. An amazing one woman show. Cargo’s our go to for Adelaide caterering + all inclusive bar service.

Cargo just catered for our daughter’s 21st shared meal with friends and family and the food and service surpassed everything we hoped for. I wholeheartedly recommend Cargo’s food and its people.

Flexible menus, helpful ideas, great communication, a smiling enthusiastic on-site team who seamlessly delivered, and of course AMAZING food that had everyone asking who had made it. And they expertly and graciously provided for all our dietary requirements too which was a relief.

And then at the end they quietly packed up and slipped out without anyone noticing……

Brilliant!

If you want amazing food, great communication and excellent customer service, Cargo catering is the place for you. We loved having both Cargo catering and Cargo Casual to cater for our wedding weekend. Their food selections was so diverse and delicious all our guests spoke about delicious the food and amazing the customer service was. Thank you for making our wedding that much more special 🙂

l am incredibly impressed with the Company. Thanks to Jack & his team in Adelaide’s North. We needed to feed 110 delegates who attend 100’s of conferences. It was great to receive so many comments of ‘best food ever’. I’m looking forward to my next event. l can’t speak highly enough of the staff & food quality.

Absolutely wonderful catering. Goes above and beyond to deliver the best in terms of presentation, flavour, freshness and that personal touch!

What a fabulous night we had. Great food prepared by Ziggy who was fantastic. Really friendly and very professional. You picked a winner there Jack. A real treat to be able to enjoy your own party and not have to lift a finger. Will definitely be using you again guys. Plenty to choose from for all tastes and the food was cooked to perfection. Loved the salads and the desserts were mouthwatering.

Had a fantastic meal last night at the Prospect RSL. Ziggy was professional, polite and did a fantastic job. Food was outstanding! Will use Golden Roast again without hesitation.

The team at GR were super friendly and accomodating to what we were looking for our function. They put together the most beautiful grazing table! It was such an easy process and the team looked after everything. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again.

Very thorough, friendly people to deal with. Their preparation was excellent as were the choices and quality of the food. If was all prepared on site so therefore was very fresh and the lady who did the preparation went about her job in a quiet none intrusive manner.

Had the Golden Roast Adelaide cater for 30 people at our place. Adam was the person who attended on there behalf to cook, prepare and serve the meal. He was very good to deal with and a good personality. Food was great. Left overs so the wife didn’t have to cook the next day. Thanks Adam.

We had Aussie Ripper Roasts cater our engagement party over the weekend. The whole process leading up to the day and on the day was stress free, and they were very accomodating.

Not only that, but the food was delicious and the staff were so friendly and professional.

Will definitely be using them again!

Aussie Ripper Roasts

Amazing from start to finish
Easy communication and booking
Custom options for food
They cooked onsite which was fantastic
The spit roasts were outstanding, they arrived at our construction site and cooked for 300 hungry workers. The next day I had nothing but positive comments and feedback. Would definitely recommend the cooked onsite spit options.

Our workplace organised a roast dinner for our Xmas break up from Aussie Ripper Roasts. We have used them before and it was amazing then so ordering through them again was an easy decision. They accommodated us with all our changes without complaint. Their service is fantastic and the food was delicious. Can’t fault them at all 🙂

These guys are the best!

The guys and gals at Aussie Ripper Roasts continue to deliver year after year.

They catered for our sons 21st Birthday recently and the food was amazing as usual. So many of our guests have since said how good the food was on the night.

Aussie Ripper catered for our sons Christening and now his 21st, thanks so much guys, you make us look good!!

Cheers and keep up the good work!

I had a great experience with Ripper Roasts last week.
My requirements were a bit out of the norm, but they went out of their way to make my work function a success.
Instead of letting me fumble through organising myself, they called me and tailored everything to my needs, down to when the steaks were to be cut.

The timing of everything was spot on too.

I’ll be recommending them to everyone.

We had Aussie Ripper Roasts cater out backyard wedding for 105 guests. Roaming canapes and buffet style spit roasts. Fantastic! Everyone raved about the food. Heaps of food, no one went hungry.
Really easy to communicate with with very friendly and helpful staff. They happily customised our menu and were flexible around set-up. Beautiful service on the day. Thank you so much for making our day perfect!

Aussie Ripper Roasts were incredible! We hired them to cater for our wedding on 02/09/19. Their staff were friendly and accommodating and the food was sensational. Our guests were very happy with the service and quality of food and it made our day so very special. They catered to all of our needs and were helpful in every way.

Highly recommend this company.

We had the privilege to have Indrani Di’s food a few times now. Being a bengali we always crave bengali food and indrani di’s food never disappoints.
We orders sukto, daal, few fish curries and it’s was absolutely spot on. We always feel nostalgic after having her food. Just feels we are little closer to kolkata.
Thank you so much for all the delicious food you cook.

I had a wonderful experience with Eat as you like. Their owner Indrani was kind enough to accept customised food orders for me. I ordered 5 Bengali dishes in total which included, Kolkata style Chilli Chicken, Loochi, Mutton Kosha, Payesh and Baked Roshogolla..

All the dishes tasted amazingly good. The Chilli Chicken was my personal favourite (Do try this once if you’re ordering from them ). I’m fully satisfied with their service and I’ll highly recommend it to everyone. <3

I stumbled upon Indrani’s page by accident on google. We ordered for 2 parties, 30 pax each day, home-delivered.

Must say this is the most amazing find in terms of home catering for large gatherings. Pricing was also quite economical as compared to other two commercial quotes I sourced.

Most importantly, food was amazingly tasty. Gajar (carrot) Halwa was just a treat. Chicken Kosha (never heard before) was my personal favourite. I also ordered Amritsari chole, dum aloo, mutton chops, veg chops, Kalakand and dhaba style chicken curry. Can’t pick which was better and the presentation was immaculate. I was apprehensive about mutton chops being smelly but it just wasn’t. Only effort from our side was heating the food prior to serving.

Lastly, special thanks to Indrani for following a suggestive process with me, advising me to change dishes which didn’t go with the mix and also making last minute changes based on my crowd and cost constraints while ensuring quality wasn’t compromised. Look forward to engaging this service again.

**Pity I didn’t click good pics of the food**

We had the pleasure of a family cooking class with Indrani at Eat As You like. the class was fun, engaging and we learned a lot. The food was amazing. Indrani really shows her passion for food and the whole experience was a a great experience. Highly recommended.

We had so much fun cooking and learning lots about how to make delicious Indians food. Indrani was fantastic and we couldn’t recommend it highly enough. We took home a lot of tasty food. Highly suggest the Payesh!

Thankyou Eat as you like catering. Highly Recommend. Our experience with Indrani has been flawless. Communication ++, quality ++ presentation ++, delivery ++. Our event was highly successful thanks to the high quality food and service provided. Highly recommend and will most certainly engage with Indrani again for future catering.

Used Eat As You Like caterers for the first time in December 2024,to cater for my wife’s 90th Birthday Party, in Adelaide. Their service & food (Indian/Fusion/Veg/non-veg) was excellent in taste & quality and all guests made very favourable comments. I must thank Indrani their CEO for the outstanding service she provided, from start to finish, in making my wife’s party a memorable one for our family and invited guests. We shall certainly use her services when next required and can recommend her business without any reservations to others.

Quite simply, some of the best Greek food I’ve tasted. The souvlaki had a real “homecooked” flavour without being greasy or dry. The owners, John and Harri, are very friendly and will make you feel at home. The dining room is quite small since this business focuses on takeaway and catering, but there’s sufficient room for dining in if your group is under 10 people. I will definitely be using Ikonic for any upcoming family functions. Cheers

This is where you can have home cooked food, every single ingredient is picked carefully. We’re very happy to try it and definitely recommend it.

The Ikonic Kitchen recently just catered at our wedding and it was absolutely fantastic!

The service was highly professional, pricing is affordable & the food is delicious (bonus- they cater for all dietary requirements).

We couldn’t fault Ikonic Kitchen at all. Thank-you Harri & John for everything you did.

We used Ikonic for our son’s 21st. The personal and friendly customer service provided by John and Hari was excellent. They catered for our needs perfectly and the food was amazing. You made it so easy for us and everyone LOVED the food. Would highly recommend you to anyone.

I had an exceptional experience with Ikonic Kitchen’s catering services for my 30th birthday. Despite the short notice, they were more than happy to help. The customer service was outstanding; the team was incredibly accommodating and made the entire process seamless. The food was fresh, flavorful, and served in generous portions. I highly recommend Ikonic Kitchen to my friends and family, and I look forward to using their services again in the future.

Best Greek food you can ever eat, especially those potatoes just to die forr

The Ikonic team did an excellent job catering to our needs. We had a diverse menu with several dietary requirements and everything tasted amazing. The friendly team provided an abundance of fresh, tasty food with a huge variety, leaving everyone satisfied. Very friendly and timely service that can be trusted.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Orlando’s Catering for our son’s 1st birthday and christening, and we could not be happier with how everything turned out! From start to finish, the service was exceptional. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, beautifully presented, and enjoyed by every single guest. The staff were so professional, friendly, and attentive, making sure everything ran smoothly without us having to worry about a thing.

Thank you to the entire team at Orlando’s for helping make such a special day even more memorable. We are truly grateful and highly recommend them to anyone looking for amazing food and outstanding service!

Foundation21 has been engaging Orlando Catering for many years now and it is a pleasure to work with James and the team. From start to finish, they went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Not only were they incredibly generous, accommodating our every need with professionalism and a no questions asked attitude, but the food they prepared was absolutely outstanding.

Every item was a crowd-pleaser and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the spread of food – and the never ending hot chips are always a hit with kids (and adults)!

It’s clear that Orlando Catering takes pride in what they do, and their dedication to providing high quality food and service truly stands out. I highly recommend them for any event. You won’t be disappointed!

As a small volunteer led charity, Foundation21 can’t thank Orlando Catering enough for their ongoing support and generosity.

We’ve just celebrated our daughter’s 21st birthday at Orlando‘s. Catering. James and Thomas did an amazing job. Everything was on point. The food was amazing and the staff were fabulous. Everything was taken care of so I didn’t have to oversee anything. If you really want to impress your friends and family check out their prosciutto bar and gelati cart. Our guests are still raving about it.

We had Orlando’s mobile Pizza van cater for out daughters 16th Birthday. It was so well organised, staff were fantastic and so friendly, food was amazing. Rveryone went home full and raving about their amazing wood fired pizzas. Would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to organise a stress free home party. Thanks Orlando Catering!!!

Great venue, helpful dedicated staff and everything you need for a great party is there!! Had our daughter’s 18th birthday at Orlando and we were very happy and delighted with the food, staff and they went above and beyond to make the evening a success! James, Vanna and all the staff are very experienced and the attention and commitment to detail is at a high standard. Michael cooks the best wood oven pizza and the staff including security guards were extremely helpful and friendly. Let these guys take the stress out of your next function! You won’t be disappointed. Many thanks to the Orlando Catering team and we look forward to having parties again with Orlando Catering!!

We only just celebrated our daughters first birthday yesterday (22/10/23), but I had to come and write a review asap! First of all, the venue itself is just amazing. The warehouse relaxed vibe is what I wanted and they certainly provided a great space for that. There was loads of room for what we wanted plus so much more space for our guests to comfortably walk around. James, Vanna, Thomas and the rest of the staff are fantastic! I feel like I didn’t really need to worry about a thing and knew everything was taken care of and I could just enjoy the day. Everyone was so friendly and helpful and nothing seemed to be too much trouble.
The food was amazing, we opted for the buffet menu and we certainly were not disappointed! All of our guests commented on how delicious everythiny was and had no one leave hungry (plus we now have enough to last us the week )
I just want to say thank you for an unforgettable event, it truly exceeded our expectations! I can’t wait to come back again

Son’s 21st Birthday was so gd that we came back for our Daughter’s 21st Birthday!! The venue creates an awesome atmosphere ,relaxing for some and ready to party for others. Food is delicious, fresh and generous portions made with passion and pride. James, Vanna and staff were outstanding both times..stress free organisation and service!! Highly recommend Orlando Catering for any occasion

The paella was a massive hit at our wedding party — flavour-packed and beautifully cooked. Lalouani was friendly, on time, and made everything feel easy. Couldn’t recommend them more!

We had ‘Oranaise’ cater for my parents 50th Wedding anniversary for 45 people. We ordered the seafood and vegetarian paella. Abderazek and his team was highly professional from start to finish. Very friendly, professional and the food was amazing. The guests loved watching the paella be cooked right there in front of us. I highly recommend.

Absolutely superb. So easy to work with. Catered delicious paella for 45 at my party. Many of my guests commented on how delicious the food was. Won’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommended! Thanks Lalouni

Thanks so much Lalouani! As the event organiser, I booked Oranaise because of your prompt and helpful responses to my enquiries. Your friendly and hospitable nature made the process on the day really easy. And all our volunteers thoroughly enjoyed your food at our Volunteers’ Week celebration. Ali, Worn Again Op Shop (Anchor Church Port Adelaide).

We hosted a fund raising lunch for 30 pax and the overwhelming response to the food was amazing. The paella was superb and our guests enjoyed watching the paella being cooked. Tapas and dessert were great. Chef Lalouani was superb and happy to interact with guests. Nothing was too much trouble and his customer service prior to and on the day was second to none, very highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing!!! Hired them to cater for a party and everything was fabulous. Best priced! Huge servings! Amazing flavours! Highly recommend!

We had Oranaise Catering at our party at home last weekend and it was amazing. Not only is it a fun and different way to cater for a party, the paella was also extremely tasty. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how much they loved it. Thank you so much for making the night special.

Fantastic place on Pultney street, incredibly happy that they are now open for takeaway. Went there today for their opening day and was very happy with the service. Hot food, tasty, very well priced and brilliant staff. Definitely will return and 100% recommend

This was great for our party at home with 50 people. No mess to clean up and everyone loved the food. Good size servings with plenty left for those that wanted seconds. Highly recommend!

Amazing food and service – Highly recommend!
We had the pleasure of having The Paella Man cater our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. From the very beginning, they were fantastic to communicate with, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. On the day, they were incredibly efficient in setting up, cooking, and serving, ensuring everything ran like clockwork.
The tapas, paella, and desserts were absolutely delicious and a huge hit with our guests – we’ve had so many compliments on how tasty the food was! What impressed us even more was how they respected food allergies and dietary requirements for a handful of guests, making sure everyone was well taken care of.
We’re so glad we chose The Paella Man to be part of our big day. The food was not only outstanding but also added a unique touch to the celebration. If you’re looking for amazing food and exceptional service, we can’t recommend them enough!

Beyond amazing service. Food was great and there was plenty of it. Staff were great on the day or our wedding as well.

Would definitely recommend

Highly recommend The paella man, for your function. They are very professional, and easy to deal with, nothing was too much trouble .I wanted no stress catering for my 60th ,and that is what I got! Great food and service. ( even for those fussy eaters) Thankyou for helping make my party a night to remember!.

So good, friendly, accommodating, professional & to top it off great food. Definitely recommend this team for your event.

The team from Paella Man catered for my birthday recently (Oct 23) & the choice of seafood, chicken & chorizo & vegetarian were all beautiful. The food was plentiful. Even after guests having seconds, there was still some to take home.
The team leading up to the night were very communicative, arrived & served on time & guests also enjoyed watching the cooking process.
Great value for money!

We hired Are You Being Served to handle the alcohol and bartending for our wedding, and I couldn’t be happier with our decision! Stu was an incredible help in the lead-up to the day, offering fantastic advice on the quantities of alcohol we would need and providing great suggestions to make the day run smoothly. His expertise made the planning so much easier, and I felt completely confident in their service.

On the day of the wedding, the team they provided was amazing. All of the staff were not only professional but also so kind, fun, and full of energy. They really helped create a great vibe and were a hit with our guests. The whole experience felt seamless, and it was clear that they genuinely enjoy what they do.

I highly recommend Are You Being Served for anyone looking for top-notch bartending and event service. They were a key part of making our wedding day a memorable one!

Incredible team to have on our side in the lead up and on the day of our wedding. Service was 10/10 and many guests said so. Thanks Stu + team!

AYBS were our bar service for our wedding, and they were exceptional. They were fast and efficient, and ensured that the wedding went very smoothly, including in serving multiple types of cocktails, spirits, wine and beer. Our venue coordinator said no other bar company could have done what they did on the night – and I understand why. Thankyou!

They can be a bit unresponsive at times, but they do provide genuinely great advice about what alcohol you need/quantities etc. which made the day so much easier. Highly recommend.

Nothing is too hard for Stu and his team. The best in the business hands down.

Our daughter’s engagement party began in chaos due to a storm upending the marquee we had set up 2 hours before guests were due, so that by the time Are You Being Served staff arrived we were unprepared and mentally shaken. Ali and her team took over the situation, used their initiative and saved the night. They were very calming and many guests commented on their professionalism. It turned out to be a great party largely due to AYBS. Thank you, especially to Ali and Andrea.

We had Stuart and his amazing staff serve drink and food for our event on the weekend and can not fault a thing. They were attentative and made sure everyone was served and even remembered what everyone were drinking and their dietary requirements. They made us feel very relaxed as we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Our guests have mot stopped talking about it. If you want exceptional & friendly service then book AYBS for your next event. They are truely amazing ☺

Stu and his team we’re amazing, not only did go above and beyond to assist us with our event but he also provided incredible service with staff and constant updates. I would highly recommend Stu and his team and will definitely be using them again.

Excellent service and communication from the time of initial Enquiry through to the day of my party. Impeccable. The Paella was incredible and so many of my guests commented on how delicious the paella was. Even after the event I had guests message me to say thank you for the delicious food! The churros were also excellent ! And everyone loved them. The sizes of servings were generous. The whole set up was professional and Oranaise catering were so easy to deal with and accommodating. Even through to the pack up and assistance with excess food. Very helpful, professional, and high standard, great quality food. Highly recommend Oranaise catering. Thanks so much for helping make my 50th a success much appreciated.

We had chef Abderazek Lalouani making Paella at our engagement party and it was delicious!! Super friendly service, very giving serves and amazing flavour!! Highly recommend getting Oranaise Paella Catering at your event!

What a fantastic experience! Lalouani was quick to respond to all my queries (which is more than I can say for any other catering company I’ve dealt with), is incredibly well priced and makes some of the best Paella I’ve tasted. He catered for our sons first birthday and everyone of our 100+ guests said they really enjoyed the meal and the generous servings. Thank you so much for giving us such wonderful food and service. Highly recommend!

We had Paella for our a wedding reception las month and it was perfect. The food was incredible and every guest enjoyed it, commenting on how delicious is was throughout the night and day after!

Very easy to work with, no hassle at all. Would highly recommend!

Oranaise provided the catering for our wedding and it was an absolute delight. Everyone loved the Paella and the serves were generous. We had a few last minute changes due to Covid but the team at Oranaise were so helpful and went above and beyond to meet the new restrictions. Not only that but Lalouani was so lovely to work with, always happy and professional. I recommend highly.

We used these guys as we had a party on the beach. The girls who cooked were sooooo lovely to work with & the food was delish. Hot and prepared right next to us…. The aroma brought about anticipation and the food DID NOT disappoint. ❤️ I would highly recommmend the chicken and chorizo paella!

Absolutely perfect. Professional from the very first contact. All was delivered as promised. Spectacular looking food and excellent tasting food. Congratulations on delivering an outstanding product. I would highly recommend this paella for anyone and any event. Well done
