  Delicious, Affordable Food!

  Chef Erika's food was phenomenal. Everything was fresh and apart from a few minor details with the presentation on wedding day, we had a great experience. I couldn't believe how she let me fully customize our menu, offering 3 unique foods, while all staying in our budget. She was also very helpful in providing bartenders and alcohol packages for wedding day too. I was also shocked at how cost efficient these services were too! We provided seltzers as one of the alcoholic beverages and she was even detailed enough to get the flavors that I said were my favorite. I highly recommend her services. Her response times might be slower because she is truly a one woman show but the food is amazing!

  Very responsive and fabulous food

  Chef Erica Thomas provided a wonderful and delicious menu. Food not only tasted amazing (blacked shrimp penne especially), but was presented beautifully. She was very quick to respond and was thorough in her communication. I would absolutely use her again.

  Amazing caterer

  Absolutely loved everything Chef Erika made and helped us with. Super flexible and open to creating the menu you want to use for your wedding. Food was outstanding and would definitely order again.

  Chef Erika was the greatest help with our wedding. She was very helpful with decisions and with quick changes up to the last minute of the wedding. The food was amazing, the flavored waters were the best and she helped with everything. Thank you so much Chef Erika.

  Great service and delicious.

  Great food and service! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer. We used them for a wedding and I didn’t have to worry about a thing!

  Delicious Food and Dedicated Staff

  Chef Erika and her team were simply amazing. Her passion for food is so apparent in the quality and taste of the meals she creates. Chef Erika created a custom menu for our special day and traveled all the way to Foley, AL, where she worked in a small room of a barn. She was so innovative and prepared for anything. The server she brought was so friendly and worked hard to make sure our reception was clean and our buffet was always full. I also asked for meals for our vendors, and she was more than prepared with the amount of food. Our guests talked about how great the food was all night. I would recommend them for any party or catering needs.

  Amazing food

  Erika was awesome. The food was so amazing and I received many compliments on how wonderful it all was. I have never had to deal with out of town coordinating so that was a little stressful, but it all turned out perfectly. Id say for future brides to not worry if you dont get a reply right away. They are very busy and will answer all of your questions and you will not regret hiring them to cater your event. Everything was set up nicely and I had even forgotten to set out fruit that I had bought and Erika took that over as well and made sure it all looked great.

  More than I could have wished for!

  Chef Erica is outstanding. She created a menu that please adults and children, with gourmet options, stunning presentation, and seamless service. They were also the most organized and prepared group of people I have had the pleasure of doing business with. I can not say enough great things.

  Great Experience!

  I recently used Portabello Market for my wedding. Chef Erika was so great to work with! I was blown away with the food and service we received. All our guests complimented the food. Erika was always there to answer any questions I had. She also helped me with getting my cake from J's Bakery (also amazing!). I am very happy with how everything turned out. I would definitely recommend Portabello Market to anyone looking for a caterer! You will not be disappointed!

  Perfect beach wedding catering company

  Chef Erika and her team made planning a wedding from afar super easy! She was easy to work with, suggested a great menu that worked for all of our guests, and was able to work with us and our available space. And guests raved about her food! She did a vegetable lasagna for us that a women told me “I don’t even like lasagna and this is great” and don’t even get me started on the short rib! Y’all. Obviously I’m biased because this was my wedding, but I don’t think I’ve had better food anywhere else.

  Chef Erika was wonderful to work with and her food was incredible!! No one could get over how delicious her mashed potatoes and the beef were, guests are still talking about it months after our wedding! She was easy to work with, helped us meet our budget, and was very friendly!

  They made the most beautiful cake I have seen. We just gave her an idea and she ran with it. They did a wonderful job, and at a great price. Would highly recommend.

  We loved the food at our reception. Chef Erika listened and was able to create exactly what we were wanting. From the charcuterie board during the cocktail hour to the lamb served for dinner. It was an incredible meal.

  Chef Erika was incredibly helpful and accommodating. Our menu was exactly what we wanted and within our budget. We had a buffet for our wedding and our guests raved about how great the food was. It was diverse and delicious! They even wrapped up all of our left overs to enjoy again. Thank you Erika and team!!

  In a word, "OUTSTANDING!" When we were interviewing caterers, we had several scheduled, and Portobello was our first appointment. After meeting with Ryan, we cancelled the others. We clicked with him immediately and knew we wanted Portobello to cater our rehearsal dinner and wedding. The food was amazing. We went over with him what we wanted for both dinners, and the menu recommendations he provided were right on target. Our guests were very complementary of every course, and no one went away hungry! The staff was very attentive, and went out of their way to ensure that everyone was satisfied. Not only do we highly recommend them, we look forward to using them again when we have a party.

  We held a small family wedding and the food was delicious. Chef Ryan was very friendly and flexible to serve after sunset pictures. We also loved the fact that it's a family business and everyone made the day that more special. Highly recommended.

  We used Portabello Market for a family dinner serving 18 people, after my daughter's beach wedding. They came and set everything up at our rental house while we were at the beach, which was a real plus. We chose the Italian Menu and it was fantastic. Every item was delightful. Ryan was very laid back and friendly, but also professional and quick with his responses when we were choosing a caterer. I have no doubt that he could handle a large wedding as efficiently as he did ours.

  Erika, Ryan, and their staff, were great. They made helpful suggestions on the menu and were willing to work with us on pricing. All of our expectations were met and beyond. Personable and professional. I can not recommend them more highly. The tomato basil pasta, grit bar, and BLT canapes, were all huge hits.

  We are from Baton Rouge and had a rough summer, floods, but had already planned my daughter's wedding in Seaside. The only thing I hadn't done was find a caterer, Portobello Market was already my first choice, I had contacted them months ago but never followed up. I got in touch with them just 3 weeks before the wedding and they were so helpful and accommodating. Chef Erika and Ryan came through big time. The food was amazing, I had ordered enough and then some and I had ppl asking if it was OK to get 3rds. Thank you

  I was nervous about booking a catering company for our destination wedding without being able to try any of their foods beforehand, but we were so happy with Portabello Market! Erika and I exchanged many emails and even a few phone calls going over the details for our wedding. She helped us design a menu that everyone at our wedding would love and fulfilled my desire to have some really unique items. They took care of all the setup, plates, napkins, etc. and cleanup, so we had zero worries the day of our wedding.
  
  The food itself was delicious and we had some left to keep for the next week for our honeymoon. They did a great job of setting everything up so it looked beautiful and they provided really nice plates, glasses and silverware so that our beach reception felt like a formal affair!
  
  We are so happy we went with Portabello Market and would recommend them to anyone as a great value and excellent service.
