South Catering Reviews 

Super friendly staff. Extremely fair prices for high quality food. Best food I've had all year. Highly recommend you check them out!

Awesome catering company. I have used them for multiple occasions and they always provide top notch food and service!

I just love South Catering, amazing food with great pricing. Staffs are very helpful and understand my requirements. Had ordered from them many times and definitely recommended!!

The well boxes are brilliant and a superb idea, Greatly Received!

I like hamper! Wide range of branded products. I ordered as a new year & Xmas present and it arrived just in time.

Easy to use service and great range of hampers

Great hamper, lots of premium branded products and well packaged. Arrived with plenty of time for Christmas

The company I work for sent all of it's employees a "White Christmas Festive Hamper" Wellbox, this year, to compensate for the lack of Christmas party, due to Covid. We were invited via email to click on a link to arrange delivery, and make dietary choices e.g. Gluten Free, Non-Alcoholic, etc. This part of the process was pretty straight forward but I was surprised there was no indication of when the parcel would be sent. With people working part of the time from home, and part of the time in the office, as well as people taking annual leave, this posed a bit of a problem for some, when choosing the delivery address to use.

An email was received by some people, but not others, when the parcels were dispatched, but it wasn't immediately obvious the email was in relation to the hampers as it came from a company called Caribou. This left a lot of people wondering when their hampers would arrive.

When the hampers did arrive they were extremely disappointing, and everyone seemed to get different items. The box the items were packed in, was far too big, and could have easily been half the size, reducing the impact on the environment and the postal service. Some people had lots of protective foam pellets in their boxes and some just had a handful, which made the package look rather pathetic.

My hamper contained;

1 bottle of Elderflower Presse,
1 Mince Pie,
1 jar of Houmous
1 tiny bag of Olives,
1 jar of Jam
1 tiny bag of dried Mango,
2 Tea Bags
1 Christmas Cracker
1 very cheap, not at all like the photo on the website, Christmas Hat

I only hope that the meal being donated to a local person in need, is not as lousy as the contents of the box.

I certainly would not recommend my company use this service again, as I imagine it is not a very good reflection of the intended sentiment.

Update following the response from SC:

Having found the list of items I should have received (on the South Catering website) it appears 90% of the items I received are as listed. However I did not receive the "I Love Snacks 70% Dark Belgian Chocolate", instead I got 40g of dehydrated Mango (very festive). I still believe my company has been grossly overcharged for what has been delivered.

Having spoken to others, to see what their experience is, they are of the same opinion, despite some of them receiving more food items than I did, in place of the rubbish hat and cracker.

As for the quote from SC about this being a "Free Gift"... it wasn't free, our company paid good money for it to replace the Christmas party which couldn't take place. A very poor and sarcastic response in my opinion.

Not convinced about the cardboard shortage excuse either. Other companies don't appear to be suffering from this shortage. Maybe plan better next year!

I ordered a box for a colleague as a surprise. Thre contents were wrong and the message too. He had no idea what was going on. Contacted the support team. Said they can't help. Wouldn't recommend

We were late to order these items for a staff gift so the choice was limited. Having said that, ordering was easy and the procedure to then upload the individual delivery details was simple.
The fact this company offers very competitive Products, is good but to then have the "Giving Back" commitment is amazing.
Thank you

Wonderful service, and great food, delivered on time.

The product was so great and we have had so much positive feedback from our employees! They loved the Wellboxes. Fantastic professional service from the team. I am a very happy customer who will continue to use this company for a long time to come!

Very happy with the service they provide! Lovely food!

As a first time user of South Catering, I can honestly say that I'm hooked - I've discovered something pretty special. Their Wellbeing Boxes are exactly what I would expect from a quality service: excellent food, excellent delivery process, excellent customer service. And, there's more...their underpinning values of giving something back to communities in need is exemplary. As is ensuring that all their products are ethically sourced. All this means that I can have peace of mind when I place an order with South Catering; knowing that it will be actioned with the utmost professionalism...and that someone in need will also be benefitting.

Brilliant idea with the Well Boxes and greatly received and appreciated by all recipients so far. Great service from South as always.

Ease of ordering, great service from bespoke menu choice set up, ordering options, delivery, food, collection of bags. Very professional, helpful and lots of variety and choice.

Lovely Friendly Team,
Everything is on time and delivered when they say.
Food and presentation is very good.

We have used South on several occasions now and have been really pleased with the quality and the variety of the food!

Good quality, helpful, very good to work with

Very happy with the range of food that South Catering offers us. The staff are fantastic and always deliver top quality ingredients. Would recommend to anyone looking for something a bit special for their meetings.
