Wonderful team. They literally “catered” to our needs of having a vegetarian meal and it was delicious. They did this without hesitation despite it being a last minute request. They were very responsive and communicated with clarity. They fit it all and at a great value. We will definitely do it again.

We were going to use Chef Derek as our catering for our wedding in November. However, my fiance's church group offered to cater for next to nothing. Although I did not hire Chef Derek to cater my event, I feel it's important to let those considering him that he has excellent customer service! He was prompt, professional, and accommodating. I wish we would have had the Chef Derek experience!
