OUR STORY
Crafting Unforgettable Occasions
G&T Catering is a locally owned and operated family business, providing excellent food and seamless service to Canterbury homes and venues since 2014. We don't just serve food, we craft experiences. Our approach blends high-quality, seasonal ingredients with innovative presentation and thoughtful planning.
Whether it's a wedding, corporate event, or private celebration, we tailor every detail to match the client's style, tastes, and needs. Our goal is to create celebrations that truly feels one-of-a-kind.
Experience, quality, & care in every detail
In 2014, Gabi and Tom recognised a gap in the market - the need for home styled food done well with a straightforward and simple service philosophy of providing an all-inclusive quoted price. From here, G&T Catering was established.
At the heart of G&T Catering is the dedication to our clients. We pride ourselves on clear communication, flexibility, and a hands-on approach that ensures every event and celebration runs smoothly. We treat all clients like family, guiding you through each step of the planning process so that by the day of your event, you can relax, enjoy, and celebrate, knowing every detail has been taken care of.
