Yay Kitchen Chicks! I loved working with Peggy, she was so straightforward, helpful, and easy to get in touch with. Beyond that, Kitchen Chicks was the talk of our reception. We offered lobster in addition to other buffet items and the Kitchen Chicks team really delivered on food that was beautifully presented and delicious. Everything was so elegant and the food got rave reviews.
I also appreciated that Peggy worked with us to customize our menu and make it perfect for our event. We even got to select our favorite types of pies! Thank you Kitchen Chicks, it was wonderful.

Hired them for a special night while on vacation in Kennebunk. They helped create a great menu! They showed up on time, and prepared a beautiful dinner. The family thought everything was delicious! They served and cleaned up. An incredibly special treat! We also went into their shoppe in Cape Porpoise - and picked up the prepared foods for other nights! Delicious Delicious! Highly recommend!

I was given the name name of kitchen chicks through a local and I explained I was having a dinner party for 25 in about a months time and needed food, chairs, linens, etc. Peggy explained they were a full service event company and could take care of it. Response times were slow with Peggy and Catie and I had to prompt them to see the menu, then the proposal and then getting info on tents, etc.
I was told due to Covid, all of the events from 2020 were now pushed to 2021 and they were busy and tents weren't available. That was a common answer I received from them. They are busy with other events and they will get back to me. Considering I was also using them for my event, why wasn't I getting the same respect? Long story short, this went on for 3 weeks (me pushing to get anything confirmed, them being sooo busy) until the Friday before the dinner party (less than 1 week away) Peggy emails me and says it's too hard to find the tent and they won't be able to help us.
I called her extremely upset and tried to ask about another solution and she shouted "NO, I'M DONE. I'M OUT." We had a not so nice exchange of words after that until I hung up on her and had to find another caterer for the dinner that was 6 days away. I did find someone who was lovely, professional and welcomed my business. I have thrown many parties in Los Angeles and I have never had such an unpleasant experience.
This could have been handled by Peggy saying that they did not have the availability to handle a 25 person dinner party in one months time. PERIOD. Why say yes and then waste my time? So fair warning to anyone who is looking for a professional caterer for their event.

Kitchen Chicks catered our wedding at The Big House in Kennebunk, and the food was absolutely amazing. Our entire evening was delish from start to finish, and we heard myriad comments from our guests saying the same. Furthermore they were really easy to work with and the communication leading up to the event was great. We were very happy our wedding planner recommended them. They really captured the essence of what we wanted our wedding to be, and we are forever grateful!

If it were just the food, this would be 4-5 stars. Kitchen Chicks catered a wedding we just attended. The service was decent, though a couple workers were a little surly with us. The big issue was the quantity. In 2 of the 3 meals they catered (and the third is yet to happen), they ran out of food. For dinner at the reception, they served the portions at the buffet and they were paltry.
When my wife, 36 weeks pregnant, went and asked for more food, the response was "we've already fed you." Everyone I spoke with left at least one of the meal hungry. For what I imagine the cost per head was, this was not nearly enough food. I remember living on the leftovers from my wedding for a good two weeks Update on the breakfast the morning after.
They ran out of coffee in 15 minutes, and took 30 minutes to make more. One staff member was overheard saying she couldn't believe how much people were eating, that their country club clients never eat this much. So I guess if you want a real meal, go somewhere else. If you want the illusion of a meal, they're probably okay. So, good food, but not nearly enough of it.

Spot on! Hard to get as they are so in demand. They catered a rehearsal dinner at BPYC for our family. Lobster Bake menu was perfect. Service was impeccable and personable. Peggy and Sarah kept the whole event in order and rolling. They are calm and collected. Thanks for helping us for this memorable family event.

Kitchen Chicks owner, Peggy Liversidge came highly recommend, however, this company proved to be a huge disappointment and waste of our time. After at least 3 phone conversations and follow up emails, I had still not received the proposal from Peggy. I did, however, get a lot of excuses from her like, "I'll get back to you tomorrow", "I'm still working on it", "Thank you for patience, you'll receive the proposal shortly" and after 2 weeks had passed since my first inquiry, I finally received it.
The proposal estimate was ridiculous; the number of food stations-to-person attending ratio was so over the top excessive and expensive. It included so many additional fees that made it was hard to see what we were actually being quoted for. Alarmed, I spoke with our event coordinator who advised we scale some things back and promptly sent the modifications to Peggy the following business day.
We were never acknowledged again. Myself and the coordinator tried contacting her again, sending at least 3 more emails and again, we were completely ignored. Thinking perhaps there was a problem with the email, we followed up with phone calls, asking for Peggy directly and were told to continue leaving voicemail messages for her. Clearly, Peggy does not consider it a priority to respond to those looking to hire them.
Upon voicing my concerns and frustration with others, I learned this was not an isolated incident, as they too had attempted to hire KC and were not responded to. Obviously there are not enough "chicks in the kitchen" to run this business well.

Located one flight up from street level and on the first floor of the Grand Hotel is the latest location of Kitchen Chicks. Great spot to grab to go items as well as your daily coffee fix. They have breakfast sandwiches ready to go. There are cookies as well that looked delicious. The breakfast sandwich I had one morning was excellent! Simply egg and cheese on an english muffin.
No complaints. I also grabbed a yogurt from the dairy case that contains portions of cheese as well. In the case are prepared items such as meatballs, grilled salmon, salads, other proteins and sides. Super friendly staff is glad to help you out.

Kitchen Chicks Catering catered my wedding and guests are still raving about the food! One guest said it was the best wedding food she had ever had (and she it a bit of a foodie). My husband and I both had the beef tenderloin and it was incredible. The staff is extremely accommodating, my friends love my mashed potato recipe and it is a staple at our gatherings, and Kitchen Chicks agreed to make my recipe for the wedding.
It was a little touch at my friends noticed. I can't say enough good things about the staff. The waitstaff was unbelievable. One of the guys was South American and fluent in Spanish which was extremely helpful since my mother in law's family is from Spain. At the rehearsal he was able to explain how to crack a lobster in Spanish for them. Everything exceeded my expectations. My family and I were very pleased and I would highly recommend using Kitchen Chicks.
