customer reviews

I have engaged Alexander Watts on numerous occasions over the past few years to cater a range of events, from large gatherings such as a themed long lunch and a twenty-first birthday celebration, to intimate dinner parties at home for 12 guests. During Covid, he also introduced a home dinner delivery service, which was exceptional.

I have consistently been impressed by the quality of the food and the creativity of the menus he has designed. Alexander is always reliable, discreet, and leaves the kitchen immaculate. His staff are equally courteous, professional, and friendly.
I would highly recommend Alexander Watts for catering of any size, whether for an event of 10 guests or 200.

I have known Alex for many many years, and in that time ive come to know him as an exceptional Chef. Alex has created countless lunches and dinner parties for me At Mulberry Farm, and without fail, guests always rave about the food, presentation and the warmth of the experience he creates. His attention to detail and ability to make every gathering feel both effortless and special is something people always remember long after the event.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Alexander Watts across a number of Olsson’s Salt events at Charleston Pastoral, including our truffle hunts, grazier conferences and food service industry events.

Alexander brings a fantastic energy to every event — he is professional, hardworking, highly organised and an incredibly positive presence to have in the kitchen and around guests.

His attention to cleanliness and detail is exceptional, even during busy service periods, and the quality of his food is consistently delicious and generally outstanding.

Beyond his culinary skills, Alexander is simply great to work with. He collaborates seamlessly with staff and guests alike, helping create an enjoyable and memorable experience for everyone involved. I would highly recommend Alexander for both private and industry events.
