We are really pleased with the service from Spitting Image. The food at our wedding reception was brilliant and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. It’s been a few days and the guests are still telling us how good the food was.

Would absolutely recommend Spitting Image Catering. Easy to work with, delicious food, professional and friendly service. The Spitting Image team arrived with plenty of time to set up. They looked great and were really accommodating. And the food was YUM! We had the gourmet bbq with salads option and it was great. Will definitely use them again.
Thanks Mark and the whole team.

A very sincere 'Thank You' to Mark and the team for the fabulous, affordable lunch for MSPC Probus Club at Mission To Seafarers. The lunch was delicious; the meat succulent, salads were fresh with plenty of variety. The lunch set up, service of food and the cleanup was absolutely seamless. Nothing was too much trouble and the team delightful to work with. Well done and we look forward to our next event in February.

I cannot speak highly enough of Spitting Image Catering. Mark and his team catered our entire wedding with less than two weeks’ notice and did a magnificent job. Their professionalism, communication, efficiency… and attention to detail was outstanding. They were easily able to customise a food menu to meet all our dietary requirements.
The team at Spitting Image Catering went above and beyond to make sure our night was truly perfect. The food was absolutely delicious with generous servings size and was beautifully presented. All our wedding guests are still talking about our food and

Mark and Melanie were very responsive and super flexible to our needs. We had our recent community lawn bowls event at City of Melbourne Bowling Club with over 65+ guests and everyone absolutely loved the bbq lunch!! The salad choices were amazing and meat cooked to perfection. Special mention to the chef Kieran and Alex from Mark's team for their excellent service and friendliness plus cooking us delicious food. We will definitely use Splitting Image for our next event.

Having used Spitting Image for a number of events over the past 10 years, most recently for an end-of-year function for 100 people, I have always found them accommodating and helpful. The food is reliably great value - good variety, fresh, quality and generous quantity. Staff have always been punctual, friendly and professional.

Spitting image catered our wedding at Richmond Rowing Club last weekend. They were amazing in every way. They were so easy to deal with throughout the planning process. On the day the service was spot on, the food was ample and wonderful . We can not thank them enough. We will be using them again if we ever have another catered event .
