We ordered one of Cleese Catering’s holiday turkey packages and it was absolutely amazing. The turkey was incredibly flavourful, perfectly cooked, and such a hit at our dinner party. Everyone was raving about how delicious everything was and kept asking where it was from. It made hosting so much easier and truly elevated our holiday meal. Highly recommend Cleese Catering!! We’ll definitely be ordering again!

Cleese Catering did an outstanding job for the birthday BBQ we hosted at home. From the initial planning to the day of the event, everything was handled seamlessly. Shen, the owner, was fantastic—he guided us through the process, provided great options, and made thoughtful recommendations that really elevated the experience. The food and service exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend!”

We had Cleese cater for a family event late December 2024. Cleese did an excellent and professional job from start to finish. Communicating , setting the menu, timing of service to storing the leftovers were all executed in a professional manner. Appetizers and dinner were beautifully presented and all dishes were very tasty. We had lots of compliments from our guests. It was a hazel free experience and I have no hesitation in recommending Cleese to anyone looking for a great caterer. Thank you very much Cleese! Look forward to working with you again. Thank you again and best wishes to Chef Shen and his wonderful team! Cheers!!

For Thanksgiving I ordered a turkey dinner from Cleese Catering for a family party of 50 people, and it was an absolute hit! From start to finish, the experience was seamless, and the food was beyond exceptional. Everything was perfectly packaged, making it easy to serve and ensuring the food stayed fresh and hot. The turkey was seasoned with a delicious southern-style blend that had everyone going back for seconds (and thirds!). The sides were just as impressive – creamy mashed potatoes, roasted root vegetables, perfectly cooked green beans, flavorful stuffing, more then enough delicious gravy and the best cranberry sauce we’ve ever had. Each dish was packed with flavor and prepared with care. The portions were generous, and the quality was top-notch. Cleese Catering made hosting such a large gathering stress-free, and the compliments from my guests have been endless. If you're looking for catering that delivers delicious food and impeccable service, I can't recommend Cleese Catering enough. They truly made our event unforgettable.
