Really awesome full-service catering company. Katrina and Shen were both awesome, highly organized and proactive. Food was terrific and went with the theme I asked for. Staff was professional, willing to help, assertive and took initiative which was very nice. Will be using them again for future catering needs.

Cleese Catering did an excellent job catering our baby shower. The food was a mix of English and Indian inspired and the chef did a great job of presenting a beautiful tasty menu. The service was excellent including the organizing ahead of time. We have used Cleese in the past for corporate events but this was the first family event. I would highly recommend them for either!
Katherine
Always reliable. I am in the states so having to send catering to clients so far away is stressful with a side of panic. With Cleese I set it and forget it. They have always been so kind and accommodating. They are probably popular as they seem to be familiar with most buildings I send them to. Try them out, surely you’ll be as satisfied as I have. Go Cleese!

Was at a Xmas event last night that was catered by Cleese. AMAZING FOOD!! The hummus & babaganoush was the best I've ever had! I heard a lot of people talk about how good the food was and that it was! The mini sliders and the potatoe skins...everything! Cleese...Im telling my family and friends about you and anyone I hear that's looking for GOOD food! Thx much! I'll be placing an order soon! Good to know we can get individual orders!

If anyone wants to have a hassle free party, just call Cleese Catering. This is run by Shen and Shafra, amazing and all accommodating couple. I entertained 40 guests a few weeks ago and everyone commented on the delicious food. The chef makes it all the more worthwhile with his smile and proficiency. He makes sure the food is warm and all the guests eat and will it forget to fill up the dishes when running low. After he cleans and leaves, one couldn’t believe that he served that many guests Thank you Shen, Shafra and the chef for making my event a memorable one.

The menu was a creative and sophisticated mix that impressed our guests. Each course was beautifully presented and flavorful. The service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff who kept everything running smoothly. Shen’s passion for culinary excellence shines through every detail. If you want an unforgettable catering experience, look no further. I’ll definitely use Shen's Cleese Catering services again!
