We used Olive and Thyme catering for my wife’s 50th birthday bash. The food was absolutely delicious - our guests are still raving about it - and their service and professionalism was exceptional from start to finish. They are our go to caterers. Thank you once again Renee, Ilia and your team for making our night one to remember. Highly recommend.

I don't have enough words in my vocabulary to describe how grateful I am for Renee and the team at Olive and Thyme Catering. After our caterer cancelled 24 hours before my son's 1st birthday, I was left scrambling to find someone who would and could cater for 60 people at the last minute. I called Renee and without any hesitation on her behalf, she made magic work and managed to help us out. The food was delicious and presentation was immaculate - you would have never of known the order came in at the very last minute. Again, I don't have enough words to thank Renee and the Olive and Thyme team for helping pull off our son's 1st birthday without a hitch. HIGHLY recommend!

Absolutely phenomenal team of beautiful people who go above and beyond. So happy with how everything turned out, food was delicious, presentation was gorgeous and the level of service delivered excellent. It’s rare to meet people who love what they do with such passion, commitment and purpose. The whole exchange, from the planning, ongoing discussions and getting it all out on the day was super easy and Renee is just a joy to work with ☺️

I recently had the pleasure of ordering from Olive and Thyme Catering and I was thoroughly impressed with the entire experience. The customer service was excellent, making the ordering process super simple and stress-free. The spread they provided was absolutely incredible, with a variety of delicious options that pleased everyone's palate. Delivery was right on time, and the presentation was impeccable. It truly was a crowd pleaser, and I received numerous compliments from my guests. I highly recommend Olive and Thyme Catering for any event or gathering ...
