We have already had overwhelming feedback on the incredible food, service, staff and everything on the night!

Thank you to Dheer, Savannah and Jacqui for the care throughout this whole process – from the pre-planning, thoroughness with the service plan, all the changes, and last minute demands – nothing was ever an issue.

“I just wanted to get in touch to personally thank you and the Collective team for everything at the Gastro Conference Dinner last Thursday evening. Your team did a fantastic job  I was really impressed with the delivery and service of both the beverages and food. The food was very yummy and again the service was on point in terms of timings. I hope we get to work together again and I certainly wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Collective to anyone looking for caterers.”
