We love eating out, cooking, planning menus, feeding ourselves, and most of all, preparing food for others. You could say we picked the right job!
A celebration of life, great food is an experience that we would love to share with you. Welcome to Hamish Stewart Catering!
Oh my goodness. I cannot thank you, Hamish and the amazing team enough for the amazing service we received on our wedding day. First of all, the food was amazing, which I already knew. Everyone was raving about it – the presentation, the flavours, the theme, everything. The mother of the baby with food allergies was especially impressed with the extra care given in providing her daughter with tomatoes and strawberries etc. Secondly, the service. Our day could have been a complete disaster if it wasn't for your team, who helped us set up and arrange our event, and then set it all up again indoors when Auckland decided to do what it does best: change from bright sunshine to rainy showers, and back and forth again. And they always did so with a smile. It made us feel so at ease because the group took control of the situation and made the day absolutely amazing. Honestly, we were so impressed that we had to toast to them during the wedding toasts! Dylan was incredible – myself, my husband and my family were so impressed and thankful.
There are not enough words for me to say how amazingly brilliant, talented, and professional your team are. If I were wearing a hat, I would take it off to you! The whole process was fun and easy. Thank you so so much. :)

Hi Hamish, Jenny and team,
Well – what can we say- thank you so much for the great day on Saturday. The food and service was great, so many people commented about the great staff, variety of food and of course beverages and atmosphere! The New Orleans theme went down very well. Sorry Hamish that we didn’t really catch up on the day – it seemed very busy trying to get around 100 guests! Your staff were courteous and fun, and always a step ahead of what we needed – in fact we didn’t have to worry about anything, so thanks for that.
I would imagine you could add all these new Orleans items to your regular menus without any trouble – in fact we had people wanting the jambalaya and beignet recipes. Our only complaint was that there wasn’t any left on Sunday morning. Bummer for us! I hope all went well from your perspective too, we would have no problems providing recommendations if needed,
Kind regards, Rachel and J, Wedding, March 2012

Hi Hamish, I just wanted to say a huge thank-you for so generously catering our event for World Child Cancer on Friday 5th August. It was a fantastic event and made a good amount of money for the charity. There were many many comments about the delicious food and the lovely persentation. Thank you so much to you and your team for donating your time, services and of course the food. The organised and calm way you run the kitchen definitely rubs off on everyone else and makes for a stress free experience. It was a pleasure to work with you, Kind Regards,

Hi Hamish, Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for all your hard work in getting the food together for last night. I had so many comments from guests about how fantastic the food was. I couldn’t have done it all without your support. It was very much appreciated and didn't go unnoticed, especially since you are a very busy man. I was very happy with the way things went and the night worked out to be a great success! Thanks so much again. You’re an absolute star!

Hi,
Thank you for the wonderful catering and event management you provided for Amnon & Deb's wedding. Everybody I spoke to commented on the delicious, fresh dishes you created and some people even asked me for your phone number! My personal favourite was the salmon main on potato salad - such lovely delicate flavours and just the right amount of mint and herbs.
I really appreciated how calmly and professionally you handled the various logistical challenges. ( I know there were a few . . . . !)
