"I just wanted to personally thank you and your team for the wonderful food and service you provided for Anthony & Ellandra’s wedding on Friday at Acacia Ridge Winery. Everyone commented how delicious the food was and also how generous the servings were. I only wish we could be doing it all again this coming Friday and I would have another bao bun and a 2nd helping of the lamb & potatoes! We were so lucky with the weather and beautiful venue and your catering was absolutely superb to top off a happy and fun day. Once again thank you so much (and also please pass on my thanks to the gorgeous waitress with the blonde hair who was fantastic)."

"Hi Paul – It’s Julie here from Cobalt Design (Friday nights function at Mitcham). I am most apologetic as this is a VERY OVERDUE THANK YOU- we REALLY REALLY enjoyed the delicious food Friday night- cooked beautifully by yourself- as well as all the delicious healthy salads and fruit platters…. We just wanted to pass on our utmost gratitude for your professional but fun approach to setting up and running a terrific work/Christmas function for all our staff…. The food was a great hit, your amazing Chef skills, and your organisational skills in helping to set up then cook then get all the leftovers out into take-home containers was VERY MUCH APPRECIATED….We all had a fantastic night and that was because of your amazing contributions on MANY levels. You made my night so much easier as you had everything sorted out before we even had to think about anything!!! We look forward to coming to some Friday night paella gatherings after work next year FOR SURE!!! MANY MANY Thanks again."

"Paul and his team from Yum Catering are fantastic! They provided catering and event services at our wedding last week and the experience was superb. Paul met with my husband and I prior to the event and his enthusiasm and initiative made us feel very reassured. Paul was able to manoeuvre the challenges with planning a COVID-safe event and provided a high quality experience for our guests and ourselves. The canapes and paella were delicious and received many compliments from our guests. The friendliness of the staff and added touches were also much appreciated. Thank you Paul and the team!"

"Dear Paul and Jacqui, RE: Last minute catering on Saturday 14 March at St Paul’s Cathedral. From the bottom of all of our hearts: thank you. I’m sorry I wasn’t able to see you in person, Jacqui, on the day of the wedding (we were so busy mingling and taking pictures!). But I trust that my family thanked you immensely on everyone’s behalf. Paul, you are a massive lifesaver for reaching out to Jacqui and having the food ready for Saturday. People, including myself, were in awe on how quick, easy, and perfect your communication was and how you delivered your promises so smoothly and effortlessly. Thank you, thank you, thank you! In addition to everyone telling me that they found the food absolutely delicious, everyone was also raving about how amazing the staff were throughout the evening. It was just all high compliments for you both from everyone who attended. I will definitely be spreading amazing reviews and high recommendations to everyone I know about Yum Catering and Starbank! I believe St Paul’s also mentioned to my mom on the night that they were extremely impressed with both of your services and that they’ll be considering using Yum Catering and Starbank for future events. Which would be the first, because they’ve always used their in-house caterer. You both are amazing. We give a million and more thank yous."

"Hi Paul I just wanted to say thanks for helping us out with the catering on Saturday night at our place in Kew. Our speeches went a little longer than expected and I didn’t get to personally say good-bye to Josh and Greg. Could you please pass on my sincere thanks to them. They were amazing! The food was spectacular, and everything was impeccably prepared and served. Somehow Josh created all of the dishes without the kitchen ever looking messy. He made it all look easy, but I know that it’s certainly no easy task …full marks from us and all of our guests. Thank you again!"

The finger food to start was great & everyone (myself included) raved about the paella, it was not just great to watch but great to eat!! Carols service was excellent with all glasses topped up & guests not left waiting for anything. Plus having a tidy kitchen after a group of 30 guests was lovely. It was a totally enjoyable & professional gig with you guys from start to finish. I will of course recommend & let people know about your new function room at The Rose. Cheers & thanks again!"

Again thank you and rest assured there were many there last night who wanted your details so you may get a few calls in coming months."
