Royal Children's Hospital | Catering Feedback

We had a work place function for 40 people that required catering and we could not be happier with Gary and his team. Communication was so easy and laid back - Gary was responsive and followed everything up. We were able to customise a menu together in advance that met a range of dietary requirements. On the day, it could not have run more smoothly. Most importantly, the food is out of this world. Could not recommend Ostrich and the Egg more.
