"Antonia, 10 days have passed since Rebecca & Eric’s wedding and I must thank you so much for the splendid part you and your staff played in it all. The care you took to present the tables was just splendid, all those fancy ideas we had took you a long time to set up but the result was a complete delight - and as for the food, we were so right to choose you to cater for us. Everything about the meal was of superb quality – many guests are still telling me how much they enjoyed it! Thank you too for coping with all the vegetarian variations so well."

"Many thanks for a fantastic evening last Wednesday. It made a memorable event for J and I plus our overwhelmed guests.
All aspects of the meal and service met our expectations and the flavour of the beef still lingers in my mind. Just as well my wines matched up to the quality of the food"

"If you are considering outside catering for your wedding, look no further than Antonia’s kitchen.Exmouth, August 09We were very stubborn and adamant about how WE wanted OUR day and how WE wanted OUR food for such a special occasion. We shopped around with some of the well known and respected caterers, but felt they gave us no flexibility. With Antonia, all our questions and requests, however bizarre, were answered with a YES. We liked Antonia’s attitude and we found Antonia to be straight talking-no waffle, which is what we wanted.
When it finally came down to the big day, the food and presentation was top drawer. We specifically requested a shellfish platter and wow…that is what we got. It was great to see our guests tucking in and enjoying their feast.
Refreshingly, we found Antonia’s staff to be absolutely fantastic, plenty of smiles, courteous and observant.
If we were to sum Antonia up in three words…simple…“attention to detail"
"Once again, many thanks to you and the team for the fabulous food at C’s wedding!! We had lots of comments about how tasty it was!"
