Chef Roland's Catering

ered other good ideas. Next, I met with Roland at his kitchen where we discussed food and beverages. He offered me tastes of food that he was making for current clients for that week. These bites absolutely won me over. I confidently decided to go forward with their team. Throughout the year, I kept an email chain going with Pat to work on details. She responded in a timely fashion to all my mail. She is very easy to communicate with throughout the process. I will warn you, there is no official contract. They are a little loose in this area. This might worry you. However, I had enough people telling me that they pull off each and every wedding, so I let that worry go. Now for the big day. They delivered. As promised, their hors d'oeuvres are absolutely THE best. They serve an endless array of delights that are each visually exciting and a sumptuous treasure. Surprisingly, I did not really have a say in what would be served as appetizers. Do NOT let this worry you. This is their signature catering element and it is a giant, memorable wow for your guests. I also suggest not hurrying time-wise through the cocktail party. This is often the best part of a wedding. We had a one and half hour time allotted for the cocktail portion and guests enjoyed every minute. They also handled all our bar needs. They worked with me selecting special signature drinks. Having trays of these drinks immediately available to guests following the ceremony prevents a long line or crush at the bar. Never skimp on number of bartenders. We had three bartenders for 125 guests and it proved to be the right number for excellent service. We headed off to the dinner and the dancing tent following the cocktail reception. The dinner service was also spot on. Again, we upped the number of servers, as suggested, and it was a good decision. As a result, water glasses were filled, wine was poured and refilled often, and courses were delivered in a timely fashion. All servers presented themselves in a pleasant manner. Once again, the food was a star. We chose a salad course followed by a choice of beef, fish, or vegan. Each plate was beautiful and delicious. The salad was cold and the entrees were hot. This is not easy to do from a cook tent, but Roland has his system down. They also pass yummy mini-desserts and offer a gelato bar to accompany the cake. Again, this is a wow for guests. Overall, the entire catering effort was better than I even hoped. Most importantly, the bride and groom were ecstatic, the guests were impressed and well taken care of, and I happily wrote the checks that were definitely worth the price, which is quite fair.

enting everything! The whole reception went off without a hitch and everything was seamless and delicious. You will regret not working with Matt & his team! Thank you Matt!!

d BBQ feel and ended up with the most delicious food for dinner (burgundy-braised short ribs, piri piri mango chicken, cilantro lime roasted corn salad, homestyle cornbread, and more). Also, the passed hors d'oeuvres were INCREDIBLE. I don't even know where to start with describing them– lots of seafood with phenomenal presentation. Our guests are still talking about them and several took photos because they were so beautiful. Lastly, the desserts were to die for: mini crème brûlées, fruit push-pops, ice cream sandwiches, fresh summer fruit and more. Matt and the bartenders went out of their way to make our signature cocktails extra special - mine had a floral theme, and they even went so far as to find us edible flowers for the drinks. The staff was incredibly professional and, once they'd identified the bride and groom, went out of their way to bring us hors d'oeuvres so that we could try everything. All of the food and labor was at a very reasonable price. One thing that we weren't aware of when we signed on was that we had to rent a caterers tent, bussing tables, and chefs tables for them, and we had to arrange for trash/recycling disposal/pickup, so those were unexpected costs. Also, don't be fooled by Chef Roland's relaxed style of communication. Initially, I was taken aback by their laid-back attitude – I sort of had to hound them for a contract – but I think that's just the Cape Cod vibe. All of our questions were addressed at our tasting, which was so much fun and equally delicious. Do yourself a favor and hire Chef Roland's. Best decision ever!!

thout a single issue. They had over 10 appetizers of all different variety and were so creative with their ideas. It got to the point where our guests would seek out the servers to see what was coming out next, it was so good. Linda was incredible on the day of making sure we were always eating first and had a drink in our hands. Their staff is incredible and they are so organized! Worth every penny!

he cocktail hour, Linda made sure my husband I had drinks and food in hand - I heard horror stories that the couple don't get to eat on their wedding day but we ATE. The food was spectacular - absolutely everyone at the wedding commented on how good the food and drinks were, and that makes us so happy. Chef Roland's team made sure we were taken care of and that our guests had everything they wanted. Thank you!!

king about it 5 months later! And we 100% agree.) We had so many questions during the planning process and Chef Matt was extremely patient and helpful in answering them, even taking a call when he was on vacation (sorry Matt!). He crafted an entirely gluten free menu for us which was incredible! The selection of appetizers was fabulous and we chose to do micro-desserts as well which were a huge hit. Also in terms of planning, Linda was super helpful both in asking us all the questions we needed to solve in advance, and making sure everything on the day went off without a hitch. If you don't hire Chef Roland's Catering, you are missing out!

mazing the apps were...and how many! We completely trusted Matt and his team to pick the apps - we gave some overall guidance but we're so glad we let them run with it. For day of, Linda was super attentive and things went extremely smooth. They handled both our food and bar. For the bar portion, they were incredibly accommodating to our requests and for that, we're so thankful. Awesome experience through and through!

the dessert selection…. We were blown away! I highly recommend this team! You will not be disappointed! Such hard working people who do such a fabulous job to make the day perfect!

ir portions are massive too!), the right choices, but also making sure that you are set up to have the best event possible. Overall, can tell these people care about the customer. Would 10 out of 10 recommend Chef Roland to anyone doing small gatherings of 6-20 as well as large venues like a wedding. Great people and great food.

ng for them met so many amazing people over the years of catering with him and his team. His hors d’oeuvres and food are still talked about till this day at my wedding he did for me ❤️ I Moved to Florida 6 years ago and Miss Him & His Wife Patty and Daughter Jaclyn and staff Many great years of fun in the service industry !!! Tammy MacDonald 😀 You won’t be disappointed

ONAL! I would recommend them to anyone! If you want a guaranteed amazing catering service, choose Chef Roland!

l it meant a great deal to them to make this turn out better than we could dream up. And it did! His beautiful wife Pat and their staff were super professional, accommodating, friendly, and I knew from the start we were in great hands. Now let’s get to the food! AMAZING!!! Tons of appetizers...scallops and bacon, lobster mac and cheese, tuna tartare, crab cakes to name a few. Everyone raved about them and then came our dinner of tenderloin and roast potatoes and delicious shrimp. It was over the top, cooked to perfection. The entire crew worked to make it all seamless and we could not have asked for anything more. Do not hesitate to hire Chef Roland, as a matter of fact, anyone would be crazy not to RUN to see if he’s available to make your party the talk of the town!

! Our tasting was wonderful! The filet! Delicious! Our guest called Roland’s team the ‘appetizer King’. They just kept coming and each one was better than the last! The micro desserts were delicious too! We wanted a wedding cake to keep some tradition to this ‘day’ and their team still cut the cake, served and passed so many desserts without a complaint. They were right, it was A LOT of desserts! :) The chip witch and push pops were huge favorites! I can’t say enough. This team is 5 diamonds! If I could go back, I would have only booked with Roland and his team! Thank you for all you’ve done for us! I will never forget you and your team!

days about the quality -- and amount - of food. The delicious passed appetizers just kept coming and the staff made sure my daughter and I ate and had a glass of wine in our hands as we ran around for photos, etc. The lobster rolls and steak were amazing, and the passed desserts were truly to die for. Bar service and food staff were professional, friendly and accommodating -- and we got the left overs! You can't go wrong with this caterer. I highly recommend them.

heir anniversary date nonetheless, so decided to have a small ceremony and a reception in our backyard on Cape Cod. I had never had a catered event at our Cape house so went in search of a caterer. Several people referred us to Chef Roland's Catering. In addition to the referrals, they were also priced well compared to a few others we were considering so we decided to move forward with them. It was the best decision we could have made. Initially we were just going to do the immediate family (10 guests) and have a small, buffet style cook-out, but as time went on we ended up deciding on a plated dinner for 25 guests. Chef Roland's could not have been more flexible and accommodating. Every week we were changing something, adding something, doing away with something else. Pat, Linda and the entire team graciously went along with each change, including a full menu change twice. They came out to the house prior to the event to familiarize themselves with the space so there'd be no surprises that evening. The night of the reception could not have been better. Not only were Linda and her staff professional and courteous, they were extremely attentive to each and every guest. The bride was amazed at how they took care of her every need without her even having to ask. Most importantly, the food was PHENOMENAL! I think typically you are offered a choice of maybe 6-8 appetizers, but with Chef Roland's we had a choice of 12! Each one was more delicious than the last. The entrees (we chose the tenderloin with a spring herb sauce and chicken piccata) were DELICIOUS..both so tender and full of flavor. Pretty much every guest asked us for the name of the caterer by the end of the night. We can't thank Pat, Linda and the entire staff enough for helping to make these very strange and difficult times we are living in so special. If you are in need of a caterer, do not hesitate to contact Chef Roland's Catering..you will not be disappointed!

a very stressful time. The appetizers were amazing everything was hot and delicious. the waiters were incredibly friendly and accommodating treating everyone like they were the only person in the room. We loved the dinner (chicken piccata and tenderloin with a salsa verde) Chef Roland was very accommodating in offering different sauce options for people that did not like mushrooms. Overall the experience was fabulous we appreciate all their patience and hard work making our wedding day a delicious event!!

to last minute arrive 2 hours early as we moved our event up to beat the rain, and make a last minute switch indoors after the weather ruined our outdoor plan! Everyone was so impressed with the food at the wedding. The team was extremely professional and really made it feel like a formal affair. It was also such a plus all the food could be prepared in their truck parked in the driveway. We had over 10 different passes appetizers, followed by an amazing seated meal and desserts. The service throughout the night was incredible. We would highly recommend them for any event!

and believe me it was a blessing! There was no way they could be presented the spread of food half as nice as Roland and his professional crew did. Everything was beautifully presented and my gust were and still are talking about all the different choices that were offered. I also know we saved money using them and used them as our bar service as well.

king in to insure everything was going as expected and if we needed anything. Perfection - I wouldn't think of having anyone else do a function going forward!

at for me. Everyone raved about how good the food was and service was amazing as well. Their staff was super friendly going above and beyond for me.

re- at 9am on a Saturday morning! From that point on, we were hooked! Roland is an incredibly talented chef, with many unique ideas and creations. Our guests raved about the 12+ passed appetizers, as well as the tenderloin, scallops, risotto and sides. Roland’s staff is very professional and made sure everything was presented and taken care of seamlessly. I was so impressed with our whole experience and will not hesitate to call them for other catering events in the future!

r side throughout the planning process and our magical wedding weekend. I was prepared by other reviews to know that Roland operates much more casually than a standard caterer, and that was very helpful to know going into our conversations. He doesn't have a set menu, packages, or contract, but his work truly does speak for itself and I’m more than happy to add to their collection of outstanding testimonies. We were working within a tight budget and Pat was nothing short of amazing in her accommodations with us. From helping us run through our rental order with an outside rental company, to tweaking menus, to organizing workload between her staff and ourselves, we were able to create a menu and timeline that worked for everyone at a price that we could afford. And the FOOD! I knew it was delicious from our tasting, but I was not prepared for the number of people who told us during and after the wedding (and months later) that it was the best wedding food they’d ever had, some of them saying it was the best XYZ they’d ever had period! From our rehearsal dinner meal, to the variety and quantity of the hors d'oeuvres on our wedding day, the delicious salad and entrees, and the passed desserts were just hit after hit after hit. They also wrapped up our small wedding cake for us after cutting (after storing it at their home that morning- talk about above and beyond). I absolutely cannot recommend Chef Roland and his team more highly. Thank you all!

ption,from the appetizers ,dinner and dessert. And the BEST part was the food. Everyone,and I mean everyone, raved about the outstanding food . "The food at your wedding was the best I have ever had,including at a five star restaurant." "I have never seen such a great selection of appetizers, and they were all awesome." " The food was awesome." These are just a small sample of the effusive comments we heard . Roland is the best. He is my number 1 when considering a caterer for any event.

e ourselves as "foodies" - we like simple, classic foods, but Roland and his team did an incredible job of ensuring that the appetizers had enough "safe" options, as well as a few that really dazzled the crowd (octopus, oysters, etc). I can't even count how many guests came up to us and commented on how delicious the appetizers and main courses were. The food was served quickly, and hot. On top of that, we had a gelato bar and ice cream sandwiches for dessert - both were delicious! Roland and his staff are true professionals - they truly care about what they are serving, and are really invested in their guests to have an amazing time. They would check in on us every so often to ensure we had everything we needed. We also did our bar through Roland and his staff and that was incredible as well. I wouldn't have changed anything about the food and impeccable service that Roland and his team provided - I would recommend them to anyone - you won't be disappointed!
