We used Piquant catering for our wedding reception and were very happy with the service. They were upfront with costs and allowed us to make additions and substitutions to the menu based on our guests dietary preferences. The food and wait staff were excellent and many guests commented on the quality of the service and the food. The staff went above and beyond to set up the lighting, tables and food stations to make our night run smoothly. We would highly recommend using Piquant catering for your next event.

The BEST caterers you will find. They don't just make high quality food, they provide the best service - both in the lead up to the event, and on the day. They were so easy to work with and accommodating to all our needs. I hired Piquant for my 2020 wedding, which had to be pushed back a year. They were so happy to adapt and work with us to create a new event. Their staff at my event were professional and diligent. No one's glass was ever empty and all requests were quickly accommodated. They catered for 120 and every single piece of food was of exceptional quality. I thought I might have just

0 respect for the area that there business resides in. Continues to operate out of legal hours after multiple requests to stop (waking up residents at 3am, 4am, 5am etc), think they own the street and just block everyones driveways for pick ups/deliveries when they have there own designated driveway. I would give 0 stars if it was possible. No respect. Selfish. Lets leave it at that.

Wow! Our night was just perfect!! We were so happy with Piquant Catering (and so were all our guests!). The food was incredible and the staff were extremely professional! They were very friendly, respectful and took care of every detail. Thank you so much for your patience in working with us to help make the night what it was! After some research and a number of rough quotes and discussions with several catering companies my husband and I decided to run with Piquant Catering for his 60th birthday celebration at home for around 70 people. There was something about the approach and professionalism
