We hired gourmet gorillas for our wedding reception and we couldn’t have wished for a better meal. The burgers were amazing, and many guests who ate the vegan burger said this was the best vegan burger they have ever eaten. The staff were friendly, punctual and organised. Thank you :)

Absolutely sensational!

Customer service provided by Karen was exceptional from the get go. She provided fast response and gave honest opinions which helped to shape our wedding day. I loved that her advice wasn't to make financial gain but to maintain the best possible outcomes for what we wanted as a couple.

On the wedding day, Karen arrive early to guarantee that she was set up and ready to provide for us. Her set up was professional and her team were exceptionally organised.

Again, Karen greeted us with a smile throughout and made us all feel very much at ease.

The food provided was outstanding. Portions large and the variation allowed for everyone to feel nicely filled up.
We had burgers which were cooked to perfection. Sausage with wonderful flavour. Lamb Kofta which went down a treat with our guests. Potato salad which was one of the bride's favourites and pasta salad which the children enjoyed.
The biggest hit though was the chicken tikka. Large skewers with multiple pieces of large chicken tikka. The flavour was exquisite and stole the show with our guests.
For Dessert, our guests enjoyed profiteroles and Eton mess which was of fantastic quality.

Throughout the day, multiple guests complimented the food. The quality, the portion size, the variety and the friendliness of the staff.

Food is so important at a wedding and we could not have been anymore happier with Gourmet Gorilla.

Thank you so much for making our special day even more perfect!

Karen and the team were brilliant! So friendly and helpful, they truly went above and beyond for us on our wedding day! They served a 4 piece BBQ for 90, including their ice cream truck, and bacon sandwiches later in the evening. Everything was delicious my guests were very happy and many made a point of telling me how good the food was! The service was efficient and on time and all were so friendly! I definitely recommend them and will be calling them again if I ever need catering.

Simply amazing! We used Gourmet Gorillas recently for a wake. We can honestly say the whole experience was first class. The food was excellent quality and cooked to perfection, the whole set up was brilliant and the overall service from original enquiry to final set up was impeccable. Five stars is not enough!
Thank you for making it a sad day a special day.

Karen and Ian were friendly, helpful and professional throughout the whole process. The food was amazing, plenty of it, and lovely serving staff. We received lots of compliments about the food. We really just turned up at the venue to enjoy, which was wonderful.
They took the trouble to visit the venue beforehand to make sure everything was in place. They communicated with us throughout making sure we were getting everything we wanted.

I would highly recommend Gormet Gorrillas!

Karen and Ian catered for our 30th wedding anniversary and we were so impressed with everything, from the communication from Karen to their professionalism, setting everything up and then clearing away afterwards. The food was fabulous and we wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them and using them again.
