Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: A lot of caterers are just that. Since we grew from a restaurant, our style is different. We come on location and build a kitchen. We make the majority of your food on site with fresh local and seasonal ingredients. It allows us to handle special food requests and allergies in order to accommodate both you and your guests! I truly enjoy building relationships with all of our clients. It helps me to communicate with them in order to provide exactly what they want for their special occasion. At the end of an event when people are blown away and can't believe the quality for the price is a great feeling. We strive to make people happy.

James and his team from the Frog & Turtle Pub catered our evening VIP Grand Opening for our new business in Westbrook. I had heard wonderful things about James's catering, and when arriving in Westbrook, was thrilled to discover that the Frog & Turtle was just across the street! The party was from 6-8 in the evening. James's crew, respectful of the fact they were entering a work environment, arrived no earlier than 4. They had already established a clear idea of where they would be setting up their stations, and most of the food prep had been done ahead of time. James, Matt and Megan were friendly and professional. Once the party got going, they made sure that food and drink were easily accessible. And everything was delicious. I received many compliments on the food and service, both at the party and afterward. I have managed and cooked for many catering jobs in my culinary career, and it is not a job I would wish on anyone that doesn't love it. It's clear that James and his team not only like what they do, but do it well and with quality ingredients. At the end of the night, Megan packed up the leftovers and left them neatly bagged for me and my guests to take home. James and his team left our space clean and organized. I would recommend James and the Frog & Turtle to anyone looking for an excellent catering service that delivers delicious food, and friendly, gracious service, at an extremely reasonable rate.

James and Frog and Turtle provided catering and bar services for my wedding in June. They were wonderful to work with. James was able to work with me to get exactly what I wanted within my budget. My wedding went perfectly, and the guests are still talking about how great the food was. The champagne was also a huge hit I have had numerous guests ask what kind it was. The servers and bartender were personable and professional which was appreciated by myself and the guests! Katelyn was absolutely amazing, and did everything to make sure my day went perfectly. She was in close contact via text/phone with my maid of honor, even after the event to make sure everything went great and to see if there was anything else we needed!

We held our wedding reception at The Frog and Turtle, and we couldn't be more happy with the result! James and Sasha were beyond receptive to our needs, wants, and whims, crafting a downright DELICIOUS menu --within our budget -- that perfectly reflected our vintage-meets-Maine theme. The food was fantastic, the staff and service were warm and welcoming, and the Frog and Turtle as a venue was perfectly "us". I wouldn't change a thing.

We chose the Frog & Turtle for our afternoon wedding reception, and we were thrilled with the planning, food, and service - and really, the bang for the buck was in our favor. I'm honestly just looking for an excuse to have them cater another event... maybe my housewarming party this fall? We'll see!

James catered both of my daughters's weddings. The feedback from my guests, after each event, was that they had never experienced such exceptional food or creative menu at any wedding or corporate function...when people call me just to comment on the meal... that says it all! Kudos to Chef Tranchemontagne and his crew!!

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    When working with a new customer we like to create a menu that fits their personal style and preferences. Instead of giving you set packages to choose from we work with you and your budget in order to build what you envision. We provide examples of things we've done in the past which helps to spark new ideas in order to create a special menu for each individual customer. We love to create new dishes and are always able to accommodate dietary needs/restrictions. We differ by setting up a kitchen on location in order to cook everything from scratch on site. We strive on creating food that will be memorable for a lifetime!
