Great variety and quality of food

Gilmore was absolutely professional and a pleasure to work with. We did tastings before the wedding and were advised on which foods would be best based on seasonal items for our wedding. Everything worked out perfectly, and with a plated wedding we barely noticed being served as it was all done quickly and professionally without getting in anyone's way. The food quality was excellent and tasty and we would highly recommend Gilmore for your catering needs - especially the salmon!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
