TESTIMONIALS

“Peter is a gem. He is filled with joy and is truly an expert at his craft. Our wedding day would not have been the same without him. The food was absolutely fantastic. He was able to take vegetables grown on the property and turn them into a feast worthy of any table, anywhere. His presentation was superb. He heard what we wanted and took it far beyond anything that we could have even imagined. He was also an expert in navigating family drama, which seems to be standard in weddings :). In the end, we could not have asked for a better caterer, nor person to help bring our dream into reality. We recommend Peter without any hesitation.

“Peter catered our son’s wedding for three hundred guests. It was held on our farm which proved to be a little unusual. He did not have a commercial kitchen to prepare the food but was very creative in the space we provided. He was extremely organized and efficient in the preparation and provided an extraordinary spread of food. He used only the vegetables, herbs, and flowers that were grown on the farm. His presentation was spectacular. We had people from all over the world and they were extremely impressed. His wait staff was very professional and pleasant. His timing was perfect. I would recommend his service without hesitation. He is a wonderful person who is very creative and has a wonderful flair for presentation.”

“Peter has catered three family events for us. I have found him to be professional, clean, friendly, and easy to work with. His food is flavorful and a treat for your tastebuds. His chipotle shrimp is a delight and his beet appetizer had even me, a beet hater, liking them. His presentation is a feast for your eyes and when he and his crew leave the venue everything is cleared and cleaned. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a caterer for an event.”

“My wife and I have used Peter Hadley to cater three events over the last seven years and have been extremely satisfied each time. Peter is easy to deal with, listening to what we thought we wanted, making excellent suggestions, and following through with delicious appetizers, entrees, and desserts. The staff he brings with him has always acted professionally in preparing and serving the food and completely cleaning up the venue afterward. Needless to say, I would recommend him without any reservations.”

“Peter is an artist AND a magician AND an activist with food and event planning. The menu he created for our event was so unique, and paired local seasonal flavors in surprising and delightful ways. He seamlessly pulled it all together, gathering the best, organically and ethically-grown ingredients from our local area as if like magic.

"Because our event took place in an open kitchen, I observed the interactions with his crew of cooks and servers. It was heartwarming to see such a gifted chef treat everyone around him with such kindness and respect. That’s what you will get if you work with Peter. “

"Peter Hadley and Bash Catering provided the catering for my retirement party, featuring vegetarian fare. Six weeks later my meat eating guests are still exclaiming and asking me how to get in touch with this caterer because they were so impressed, and loved it so much they want to hire Bash catering for their own events!"

"Bash Catering provided a phenomenal spread for Maja and my 10 year Wedding Anniversary Reception. Peter Hadley was keen to make the event full of memory and flavor. He was able to find areas of flexibility around pallets and price point. Bash Staff was there early in the day to prepare, was professional polite and made a welcome addition to the family focused event. Peter is a force to be reckoned with, pouring his heart and soul into the culinary specialities he presents. With the exquisite flavors of everything else, we had to try the tofu dish (prepared with certain friends and family in mind). Mind you, we don't eat tofu, But we did that day. Our 20 year anniversary is a long way off, but we will be calling on Peter (out of retirement) to concoct the feast. Hopefully he has the date available!"
