When guests send... read more you messages the next day saying the food was excellent... you can't ask for a better review. Thanks Glenn, and Renee, a gem of a host. Highly recommend this crew.

I worked with Going Gourmet in the last few months on 2 occasions and it wasn't a great experience. Firstly some of the staff including kitchen chef's are extremely rude.... read more Supervisor on shift was not efficient and the event didn't run smoothly. I felt sorry for the guests. His staff clearly don't want to be there nor show any enthusiasm. Lastly the owner Glenn is very rude and doesn't answer his phone especially on event day's when staff need any assistance. You might get an email or phone call 2 hours after contacting him which by that time is too late. Also I still haven't been paid for 1 shift I completed. He refuses to pay me and I had to take the matter further to resolve. Just ridiculous! Please do not give this person a penny as he does not deserve it. He does not care for his staff and get's them to do all the hard work. Disgusting! Find another better catering company is all I can say.
May 28, 2023The best decision ever, was to get Going Gormet to cater for 40 family and friends gathered to celebrate our daughter's 18th birthday. We had a chef and wait person... read more come, set up and serve the finger food ordered for the occasion. Both staff were lovely people, friendly, and helpful. The best part was they cleaned up afterwards! The food was delicious, plentiful, and of good quality. We are still receiving compliments about the food, and to me, that says it all. Thank you Going Gormet and your wonderful staff for helping make the night a success.
May 7, 2024We had Going Gourmet cater our wedding (14/03/20) just outside of Daylesford and they were absolutely incredible! The property we got married at didn't have any kitchen or catering facilities... read more yet Going Gourmet were able to provide everything needed to produce incredible food. We selected the cheese table, feasting menu and desserts and everything was a hit with our guests. Everyone spoke about how delicious all the options were, servings were very generous and great with dietary requirements. Communication leading up to our big day was fantastic with them being very accommodating with the tasting (as we live interstate). On the day they were wonderful in regularly checking to make sure everything was OK. When we need another event catered or have friends looking for their wedding, we would highly recommend Going Gourmet! Thank you for making our day absolutely perfect.

December 28, 2023Going Gourmet catered our at home wedding. We had 4 hours of Canapes and my guests couldn't stop telling me how amazing the food was and how much there was,... read more nobody was left hungry. The Chef and staff were so fantastic, kind and friendly, the night was flawless and they left everything spotless. I didn't have to do anything which was wonderful. I highly recommend Going Gourmet to anyone.
May 28, 2019Perfect Wedding - Going Gourmet did the catering for our wedding in November. The food was delicious, served on time and there was plenty to eat and drink. Staff were... read more professional on the night but most importantly so helpful in the lead up. The team were willing to help out via email, phone and face to face appointments. Big shout out to Erica and Rochelle. They take the stress out of the event and go above and beyond to make your big day run seamlessly. Additionally, they offer a free tasting and we went back for another which we paid for to make sure we were across all of our options. Would recommend to anyone. Very happy with Going Gourmet and would book them again.

May 28, 2017Thank you to the team at Going Gourmet for such a wonderful party. We live in country Victoria and wanted a top class cocktail lunch. They arrived early, all were... read more dressed well, polite and professional. They brought everything they needed. The preparation in our kitchen was seamless and our guests were very happy with the service and the quality of the food. We had many enquiries about the superb catering. There was plenty to eat, all beautifully presented and generously served. Such a relief to have found this company. I would have no hesitation to use their skills again. The entire experience was made easy by Erica who was polite and professional, and reassured us of the standard of food. Thanks again for a great day.
May 28, 2018This is a direct response to a review from Ms Hannah Fletcher. You've clearly ran into someone that previously worked with your good self at Going Gourmet and are now... read more clearly outraged at what as supposedly occurred to this person at the height of the pandemic? Well instead of wasting my time negating that rubbish, and rubbish of the highest order it was, let me tell you what really happened during the pandemic. The full-timers,(chefs and administrative staff) we were stood down. Not one person was "fired". We received the Government payment through Glenn's company! Glenn didn't makes us work for it, as was his right, he actually gave us the opportunity to come in for a maintenance day or a gardening day at one of our venues, weekly, and he paid us for those 8 hours on top of the covid payment. He didn't have to do that, but he did! Remember when you couldn't buy flour, pasta, salt or dunny paper at the supermarkets??? Glenn used his contacts to get it in for his staff! He didn't have to do that. But he did! During the lockdown when it wasn't clear when we would be open for business again. Glenn called in stood down staff and emptied the freezer and drystores of thousands of dollars worth of stock and gave away to staff and their families. He didn't have to do that. But he did! Is this the example of someone not appreciating his staff? No, I wouldn't think so. I could go on, but having worked at this company for 5 years now and having known Glenn during that time. I can say that Ms Hannahs review is clearly sour grapes and a fabrication of the truth. Do your job and you get rewarded. Im proud as Punch to be Glenn's Chef! Thank you.

We recently had our wedding catered by Going Gourmet and oh my gosh, the food was so so delicious! We had a canape style wedding and there was too much... read more food! All of our guests were so full and satisfied and everyone complimented how amazing the food was on the night. I honestly don't know how going gourmet pulled it off, such delicious food and really well priced. I would highly recommend them to everybody!
April 28, 2024We first used Going Gourmet in September 2018, for a sit down, 3 course meal for 40 people to celebrate my fathers 80th. It was perfect. Great service and great... read more food. On Feb 29th I had the good fortune to use Going Gourmet again for a surprise party at my place for a dear friend. Vincent(Chef) & Ash(wait staff) were wonderful, working so well together - the food was delicious and Ash made sure everyone was well catered for. Thank you so much Glenn and all your team - you stand out from the rest. I definitely recommend and will use you again. Keep up your high standards
March 28, 2024We chose Going Gourmet for our wedding which was held in a private residence. The guys arrived on time, set up and made the amazing food. They were respectful of... read more the kitchen and cleaned it within an inch of it's life afterwards. They were incredible wait staff - with a wedding of only 25 people they could easily have been very intrusive but fitted in like old friends. I have literally nothing bad to say about my experience with Going Gourmet. From the taste test night, to the payment, ongoing contact with Erica throughout the year, to the food on the night - nothing at all went wrong. Thank you so much team!
