Caterers near Reading

“Very professional and reliable caterer. Phil was proactive in planning for major charitable event and demonstrated great follow through to ensure things were in order on the event day. Food was delicious and presented in a stylish and unique way. Very easy and flexible to deal with. Recommend without reservation.“

“This is the only Caribbean stall in the Fairgrounds Farmer's Market. I (obviously) ordered their ox tail entree with a side of rice and mac & cheese. The ox tail were the most tender I've had in this city so far. The rice was decent but I was slightly disappointed by their mac & cheese. It wasn't the elbow pasta that I'm used to (I believe it was penne) nor was it as yellow and gooey as I like it but it wasn't bad overall. Also, they give you a side of beans to go with your meal and they were delicious. I'll definitely give this spot another try when I go back to the market.“

“The 6th Street Deli is new and they are just starting so there are a few limited things, such as a larger variety of items in the buffet and a menu, but there is so much potential and its location is extremely convenient.I Love the fact that they have this split of a Cafe area/bakery up front and center and a Cafeteria further inside the store. The cafe Area feels cozy, i really enjoy the lighting in this area. Personally if they would stay with this type of lighting throughout the store, I'd think it would give into that cozy esthetic. The two different lightings that separate the Cafe area and the Cafeteria area just seems a bit odd, but thats a minor detail and with time im sure they'll adjust however they may see fit. Cuban Espresso is delicious. Regular coffee and decaf are put in self serve containers, your common coffee press to serve kegs. The staff makes iced coffee and other items. In the Cafe, you can also ask for food items like a Cuban sandwich or other sandwich items, toasted with your choice of protein and cheese. I had the Honey turkey and Provolone toasted with Lettuce and Mayo-ketchup (I believe it had garlic mixed in it). I think that item was 6 and some change. Not bad, i felt satiated. The variety of desserts in the front is pleasant to the eye, and gives of this kinda bakery-esque feel to the cafe, i think it looks great and appetizing. I ended trying a sugar cookie, and bought a baggie of Tates Chocolate chip thin Cookies, clever haha.Further into the Store is a Buffet, and while the items are a bit limited, they seem to switch up the dishes, so there won't be a continuous stream of the same dishes all the time. It's not bad either, i feel it being made with care. Again, i also understand that they are just starting, and with time this area will expand. The buffet area is pretty big, so im certain that they have a few more things in mind.They charge by the Pound. About 7 dollars and some change per pound of food in the buffet section. The type of items in your plate/to go container, don't seem to matterThere is also a seated area to enjoy the food if you're dining in that is toward the back of the store. I believe they have a catering service available and they allow renting space for parties and events.While the staff metioned possibilities of certain things, ultimately I'll leave it up to them to disclose any potential directions they may choose to take on their business ventures.I believe the store is open from 7am-5pm Monday - Friday, but im not too sureAll in all, this place is convenient, comy, and has the potential to gain alot of traction due to ots location and its services. Cheers!“

“I can't say enough about Rose. Because of her, we had a great party on very short notice. The food was great, they did EVERYTHING, and they were friendly and professional. Any time I need catering again, I am calling her. Thank you, Rose!“

“Food was delicious, service was A1! To be honest, I always get nervous walking into places like this, especially when I don’t see too many people that look like me. However, everyone was super friendly, very welcoming. I saw things I never saw before and wanted to try everything! I’m big on trying different cultural foods and everything was so so good. I swear the coffee I bought is the best coffee I ever had hands down. I’m going back for this coffee maker one day! It’s on my wish list ??“

“Hire Chef John and his team immediately!!!!! My husband, our guests, and I cannot recommend them enough. We found Catering by John Lowe through a recommended vendors list from our venue; from the start, the communication was quick, informative, and kind. When my husband and I met with them for a sample meal, we were blown away by the professionalism, quality, and genuine enthusiasm from Chef John, his family, and team. The team worked with us on choosing our menu and bartending services and were so flexible with changes made before our deadline. They gave us suggestions and support throughout the entire planning process. On our wedding day, we were amazed at the beautiful displays for cocktail hour and desserts, the delicious meals, and the kindness that each and every employee displayed. We had guests coming up to us to not only compliment the food, but also to tell us how it was so pleasurable to have servers and bartenders who genuinely wanted to ensure the guests were having a good time. Working with Chef John and his whole team was truly a dream come true! My husband and I couldn’t be happier with our decision to hire Catering by John Lowe :)“

“All the food was fantastic. Ordered from here for my Dad's memorial service. Booking was super easy, picking the menu was easy, and it arrived on time on the day. I had several people comment that they loved the food. I found the chicken and ribs to be perfectly seasoned and juicy. The mac and cheese wasn't too cheesy, the pasta wasn't soggy at all. Just wonderful. All the sides were well done and everything was well placed and executed. She made this part of the memorial very easy to plan and I appreciated that during a difficult time. Definitely give her a try if you are in need of a caterer!“

“This is the most amazing catering business! I am not a party planner by nature, but I needed to throw a retirement party for one of my associates. Patrick was very patient as he asked me great questions to plan a lovely spread. In addition, I made a colossal mistake in my order, and Heather and Patrick were so gracious to make it work. This truly is a special business. You should definitely use them!!“
