The food and service is fantastic. I highly recommend Peninsula to all my friends and family. Dave is so accommodating with the needs of guests and the way he prepares and the displays the food means that everyone thoroughly enjoys the whole experience. I will certainly be using them again! Thanks again Dave and team.

We had a great experience with Dave and the Peninsula Catering team. Professional and courteous from first contact with great menu options to suit our wedding's style and budget. Not to mention the food was absolutely delicious! Their flexibility with choice of dishes helped us to tailor everything to have the event we'd imagined. The staff on the day were first rate and our venue found them great to work with. Guests of ours who've attended a few weddings said they were "The best wedding catering we've ever had." and we're still getting compliments on the food. Would thoroughly recommend.

I had a garden party for my mums birthday and decided to use a local caterer instead of the hassle and hard work of doing a buffet myself. David was great and allowed me to mix up the menus. The price was brilliant and v competitive. The buffet was set up lovely and the food was brilliant. Everyone commented how good the food was. And best bit was David came the next day and took everything away. Leaving me with just the champers glasses to clean! I would definitely use penninsula catering for my next party!

Top quality food and service, would highly recommend! Dave and his team catered for 97 in my garden for my Wedding in July. The food was fabulous, such a high standard, lots commented about the quality and taste. The communication was perfect, key for a wedding. Bar staff, waiting on staff were also supplied.

From the get go, Dave and his team were an absolute breeze to deal with. They were attentive, malleable to our ever changing minds about what we wanted and provided outstanding service throughout. We had to change our booking due to pushing our wedding back by a year because of covid and Dave just made everything so stress free. The food was absolutely outstanding and we honestly could not have asked for more. Dave and his team truly made our day extra special and I could not recommend them any higher. Dave is incredible, and any time we need something catering in the future, he will he our first choice.

Dave was absolutely fantastic for our wedding which we had to reschedule due to lockdown. We absolutely loved the food and people are still talking about how amazing it was now! He did everything we could have dreamed of, it felt welcoming, enjoyable, relaxing, fun, comforting, full of Mediterranean and British summers, and just beautifully cooked and served.
He offered a fab range of canapes as guests arrived. The best bit was that our guests loved the sharing platters, but most of all the tastes - it was just beautiful. In fact, one meat-loving friend actually shed a tear about how delicious the broccoli was - unforgettable! And the desserts were scrumptious twists on the classics - really yummy and something for everyone. (that panna cotta!) Dave was brilliant throughout - the choice of menus, the incredible tasting menu, his passion for the food and the whole event in general, giving us pointers, checking out the change of venues, adapting and working his socks off on the day - nothing was too much for him and the team.
We really liked his flexibility and reliability, Peninsula Catering was superb value and quality. We are dreaming up occasions where we could taste it all again! The food was one of the most important parts of the day for us and I can't recommend him highly enough! Thank you Dave for making our reception so special.

Dave and his team catered for our wedding - 2 wedding parties, in fact, both outdoors and on consecutive days in different locations. In spite of the logistical challenges, they pulled it off without seeming at all ruffled! We had asked for a vegan menu and it was delicious - went down well with our non-vegetarian guests, too! They also catered for a couple of our guests who required gluten-free meals, starters, mains and dessert. We would definitely use Peninsula Catering again for future events.

My company used to order from them all the time and when they took our order for a special event we had, we were happy because we liked their food. they followed the next day to cancel our order because they could not fulfill it due to short staffing on their part. That is horrible business practice and we will never order from them again. sadly but they lost a large corporate account.

My company just recently celebrated the opening of our new office location in SSF. I used peninsula catering for our event which hosted 250 employees, alumni, and clients. Stephanie and Wendy were a pleasure to work with. Very friendly, punctual, listened to what I wanted and organized. Previous to our event I had asked Stephanie to come out to our office to go on a walk through.
She and Wendy worked with me to create a beautiful spread of food for the event that lasted from 4-7. They even created food tags with our company logo on it. Very nice attention to detail. On top of the food I used them for flowers. Very pretty! I have attached photos from event. Will definitely be using them again. Thank you to everyone at the catering company for making our event a success.

I'm a Conference Room Attendant at a Corporate Law Firm in the Peninsula, and I must say that Peninsula Catering by far is the best in this area! They are efficient, and accommodating. I've had nothing but outstanding service by them. Frederick, Sylvia, and Stephanie, are a pleasure to work with, and they always try they're hardest to help us in anyway they can when it comes to our catering orders. The food is always delicious, fresh, well prepared, and here on time. I highly recommend anyone to use Peninsula Catering for there Corporate Catering, and Events.

We placed and order with Stephanie and she made the ordering process very easy! The order was delivered on time and the food was amazing. We ordered for 14 people chicken with asparagus, mashed potatoes, Caesar salad, fruit salad and drinks. They delivered compostable forks, knives and plates. It was a great feeling knowing that I just made one phone call and didn't have to worry about following up with the order. Would definitely recommend peninsula catering!

A coworker suggested I look at Peninsula Catering to provide catering for the office lunches I host in San Francisco and the Peninsula area. I am so glad that I did! I have worked with them for a couple months now and have been repeatedly impressed by their menu and service. I do not have a huge buget to work with for my weekly lunches and the staff always provide a creative and tasty option for each event/office lunch. Diana has been a total saint!

They cater at my office. My biggest complaint is that they consistently fuck up requests for vegan food. Just today there was bacon in both vegan dishes. Last week they mixed ricotta into a vegan salad. Why, guys? Why do you mix bacon and cheese into all the vegan dishes? On the other hand, when there are substantive vegan options, the food can be pretty good. All in all, it's hit or miss.

I absolutely LOVE them! They catered my 110 person wedding last year when they were just starting out to do big events like weddings and they were above and beyond awesome! I had them do simple appetizers and had the chicken and pasta with scalloped potatoes which were heaven! Everyone was raving about how great the food was and they were also very reasonably priced.
They beat out 4 other catering companies that I researched by a lot! They also provided beautiful flower centerpieces for the buffet and appetizer tables in my colors along with really nice linens that I got to pick out as well! I will definately use them again!

DO NOT ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH THESE PEOPLE. Absolutely terrible. I've endured my workplace sourcing these guys for the past two+ weeks by going out to eat. Today's dinner did not make any kind of sense whatsoever - orange chicken, really bad ravioli, mashed potatoes and salad. Now, let me note that there was NO rice at all. Do you think as an asian, I'm going to have some orange chicken with some mashed potatoes? WHERE IS THE RICE?
I gave up on the orange chicken and tasteless ravioli and tried the salad. I was the only person in our workplace to really touch it only to find out that the unmarked salad dressing, which I thought was caesar (sp?), was some kind of watered down version where I felt in place of any kind of water or cream, they used BUTTER; and I know caesar should not be tasting like this.
We have a theory that they're reusing what they didn't get to use up during their lunch catering. A prime example was yesterday's lunch - there was this meat that you would apply some kind of balsamic vinegar mess that contained tomatoes, and I later found for dinner, that we had chicken that seemed to have that balsamic vinegar crap mixed in.
I have NO clue how other people is giving this caterer 5 ranks. Like Mariko F.'s review, they were pretty awesome in the first week, but I guess now that they have the contract with my workplace, they can just do whatever they want and get away with it. If the point of a workplace is to provide free food so employees don't go out to eat for two hours (thereby losing 4 hours of the workday), then any employer should never consider having these guys as a caterer.

I get Peninsula Catering 3 days a week, at work. And because it's free for me, I eat it. I'm not saying that they are bad, because they are not. In fact, when they were first trying to get our contract, they served us amazing food. It was fantastically set up. I think that for an event, they are a good choice. They do spend 2 hours setting up though.
For for something that happens often, something that is not all out, they are ok. They use a lot of greasy in their food, and their idea of vegetarian options is usually salad. I think that they do "fancy" well. But the normal stuff is "ok".

Their food is really good. Their brownies not so much, they are spongy & chalky like low fat or something. Every once in a while they are great but if you have to order lunch for your company every other wednesday then don't bother. There was often something wrong with our order. &&&&& if you only want the main dish to something and not the whole meal be sure to say " A LA CARTE" because for some strange reason they don't understand, "Please just give me the main coarse, no salad, no rolls, no deserts, i just want the main dish." Even if they say, "Ok, so you just want the meat & nothing else?" Yup, even after that they still had it wrong and the Partner I ordered for had to pay an extra $100.

I hired Peninsula Catering for my daughter's First Birthday/Christening celebration. I was impressed with the variety of food choices on their menu and that their prices were very reasonable. Patricia was our contact person and she was very helpful. Our guests loved the food! They raved about the spring salad, lemon chicken, tri-tip and especially the scalloped potatoes! Also, the presentation of the food was beautiful! My guests were rushing to take pictures before we started serving dinner. I totally recommend Peninsula Catering.
