Where do we start? Michael was above and beyond helpful with questions we had that had nothing to do with food. He gave us his insight with bar, planners and even our end-of-night gifts for our guests. His food was nothing you would expect at a wedding. The flavors, colors and the tastes were unbelievable. I understand he had a few restaurants and I regret never trying them before he sold them, but the wedding food was in the top three of my favorite foods I ever ate. Every person I talked to after dinner had mentioned how fabulous the food was. Ed still wants you to fly to NY to cook that amazing short rib. Anyways, Michael and the staff of Chef & Company - Portsmouth Catering, you guys rock! Thank you for an amzing evening and we are going to be calling you when we do our reunion in 26'. If yoiu are thinking about booking Michael and his team, do it, you will thank me later. read more

Michael and the team at Portsmouth Catering Co were wonderful to work with and we loved the food at our wedding! From initial outreach, to menu planning, and the big day, Michael and the team made the process, fun, stress free, and left us feeling thankful for everything! We loved the food but were also very appreciative of all Michael's guidance and patience with our venue. His help and responsiveness made a big difference! Thanks for making the process fun, and of course, for the late night spudsters that all our guests loved! We still have people talking about the crab Rangoon and phat Thai! read more

We had fun working with Michael and crafting our own menu that reflected our favorite foods. Michael was flexible in giving suggestions and allowing us to make changes along the way. Everything is reflected in Honeybook and we encourage you to check that for updates. Michael is fun to work with and his food is delicious! We still have people raving about our food weeks after the wedding. read more

Catered our wedding of about 90 people. The service was wonderful and the food was even better! Highly recommend Michael and his staff

We used these guys for my daughters wedding. It took place at the Moffatt Ladd house in Portsmouth. The bride wanted vegetarian food which can be challenging. Every guest commented on how great the food was. Michael and team were great to work with. They were professional but fun. Michael made recommendations that ended up creating a very fun atmosphere. We used the food truck for one of our stations and it was all the rage. Pricing was fair and quality was outstanding. I would use them again for future events! read more

Out of all of the awesomeness that came from our wedding day, working with Portsmouth Catering was the best decision we made. Mike and his crew have it all: insight, dedication, passion, and -- oh yeah -- AMAZING taste. We wanted to make sure our friends and family would be taken care of with good food, drink, and atmosphere. Mike exceed our wildest expectations. From a small conversation he drew up the perfect menu for our wedding and worked with us in organizing a perfect open house at his Kitchen restaurant the night before. The team's flexibility and ingenuity allowed us to fit two awesome parties into our budget. Their flawless execution left us worry-free, and their warm hospitality and delicious food delighted our guests (who continue to compliment us on the food and drink.) We cannot thank Mike and his team enough for their service! read more

I hired Michael/Portsmouth Catering to provide appetizers for a Welcome Event for my wedding weekend. We had hired the Gundalow boat for a sunset sail, for 45 members of our family. I wanted food that would be best served cold and easy to eat on a boat. We settled on a large charcuterie platter for $10/pp. On the day of the event, the weather wasn't looking good and we thought we had to cancel the boat and move the event to a different space. Michael had originally asked if I wanted black plastic platters that we would throw away after or nicer butcher block and bowls that we would return after. I had opted for the plastic platers, since we were on the boat. I emailed Michael day of and asked to switch to the butcher block and bowls. We ended up on the boat after all and I figured the butch block would be fine. My uncle picked up the food for us and brought it to the boat. When I arrived, on time for my event I found ALL the food to be in about 15/20 clear plastic containers in shopping bags. It looked like my uncle went shopping at whole foods. Nothing was arranged on the butch block. I thought I would get a put together platter with some tin foil or plastic wrap on top. There were multiple dips and nothing to eat them out of. I spent the first 20 minutes of my event arranging cheeses, pickles and crackers on a small butch block instead of greeting my guests. About 1/4 of the food fit and people had to eat dips out of plastic contains. No bowls were provided. I was very disappointed and embarrassed. When I returned from my wedding I emailed him to express my dissatisfaction with the platter presentation and told him it was a horrible experience. He wrote me back saying my email was "ridiculous," and that "Im insulted I even got this email and had to waste my time reading and replying to it. I am not going to have someone incorrectly scold me about a miscommunication. Because you couldn't set up the charcuterie board so it looked nice is not a reason for compensation or to tell me it was a horrible experience. Insults! Plain and simple. Perhaps next time pay for delivery and set up! I'm SURE one of us with the same resources would have made it looked amazing and you would have been extremely happy. " Regardless of the food, his response was unprofessional and why risk getting treated this way if something goes wrong. Stay away! I highly recommend Dandelion Catering. They were absolutely amazing at our wedding! read more

My husband and I could not have been more pleased with the way our wedding day unfolded with Portsmouth Catering Co.! From the beginning, the staff were attentive and available for any questions we had along the way in planning, and truly made our special day exactly what we wanted it to be. Receiving immediate responses to concerns was great and no matter what issues came up, they remained positive and helpful. Professional and friendly attitudes of the staff during our event, flooded us with compliments from our guests, and everyone was so impressed with the food. Not only the gorgeous displays of our food but the quality of everything on the menu was just perfect! It was awesome to be able to pick and choose whatever we wanted for the menu and then have Chef Michael Prete work his magic to create a delicious version for us. They were easy going and inventive in helping us with the venue room layout and decorating as well. We would absolutely recommend them for anyone looking into catering for their wedding or any event and will use them again in the future for other personal parties! Huge thank you to Mike, Bridget, Eli, Taylor, Sue... and all the staff who made our day so amazing!! read more
