Nancy was flexible at the last minute when our schedule changed a bit. But most importantly - the food was AMAZING! Appetizers, 3 dinner items and an amazing chocolate cake and raspberry sorbet.

Our company planned a last-minute retreat and we needed to consider meals while there. We contacted Arrowhead Farms Catering, amongst others, and Nancy came back with phenomenal menu suggestions at a reasonable price. Upon arrival, she was at the ready with homemade breads, granola, breakfast casserole, fresh juices, perfectly crisped bacon, and various treats to nosh on between meals. And, that evening for dinner, she prepared coq au vin, followed by salad, and closed it out with an amazing apple tart with apple butter ice cream--all prepared by Nancy herself. The following three meals were just as fantastic. All of this in concert with Nancy's natural charm and warmth. Even with several food allergies to consider, she was able to prepare mouthwatering meals for all. I highly recommend Nancy and Arrowhead Farms for your catering needs. She will impress and delight you and your guests, without a doubt. Five stars, all the way!

They look like they're straight out of a Pinterest board. We wanted someone local who would accommodate food allergies. We were also looking for someone who could not only make the dishes we were hoping for, but also create a gluten-free, plant-based grazing table for about 70 people. And it was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Let's talk about the dinner first. Camille set up an intimate tasting at the church where the catering company is based. Before the tasting, we had a phone call about our allergy needs, and she accommodated beautifully by making everything gluten-free and minimizing dairy where we could. My husband and I compromised slightly on dairy for dinner, but we kept the grazing board fully plant-based. After the tasting, we chose three entrées and trust me, it was hard to choose because everything was so delicious. We went with two chicken dishes. The herb-crusted chicken was originally for the kids, but once the adults tasted it, they loved it so much we ordered extra portions. The Tuscan chicken was my husband's favorite. We also chose the cod, and it was the best fish I've ever tasted in my entire life. I still dream about it. We had leftovers and since we provided containers, that's what we brought on our honeymoon. We were in heaven reliving our wedding dinner the whole time. For the sides, we couldn't choose between the herb-roasted potatoes and the mashed potatoes, so we got both. And mixed vegetables! They were delicious. Everyone raved about them afterward, especially my family. We still talk about this food. We also chose two salads. The Caesar was my favorite, and she accommodated us by making it plant-based with our favorite vegan feta. I can't express how grateful we are for how thoughtful and flexible Camille was. Now let's talk about the grazing board. I knew it was a big ask to create such a large gluten-free, plant-based grazing table for 70 people, but Camille and her team made it happen in the most beautiful way. We gave her an extensive list of the foods we wanted, and she coordinated with Rebel Cheese to get a wholesale deal for our favorite cheese wheels. She sourced all the gluten-free baguettes and crackers we sent her, brought in colorful olives, fresh fruit, nuts, and seeds, and even made homemade jams! (Are you kidding me!?) Everything was absolutely delicious and strategically and beautifully placed. She truly went above and beyond. I still cry when I look at these photos. She even had one of her servers make us our own plates from the grazing board so we didn't miss out on our favorites! How sweet is that? We also gave her our cake and cupcakes, and her team placed everything on the dessert table so beautifully. We even had polaroid photos that needed to be placed inside the cake with specific instructions, and everything was done exactly how we asked. We also gave her all the charcuterie accessories, plates, napkins, cupcakes and cake, and extra decor to go on the grazing table the day before and she did such a wonderful job implementing it all. If you're looking for a caterer in Lake Arrowhead for your wedding, I truly could not recommend Camille at The Lady by the Lake Catering more. She has the most fresh, delicious food, and she just has that special touch I feel weddings deserve. From the tasting to our wedding day, she made the entire experience unforgettable. Thank you, Camille and The Lady by the Lake staff. We will be dreaming about this food and this day for the rest of our lives.

She arrived right on time, fully prepared, and brought such a warm, friendly, and pleasant energy into the space. Not only was the food incredible, but she went above and beyond in ways we didn't even expect. She helped us set the dining room table and even showed us the proper way to arrange everything, from the forks and water glasses to the champagne glasses. It felt like we were getting a full fine dining experience right in our cabin! I honestly can't give enough compliments about Chef Tami. She created an unforgettable experience for our couples. And to top it off, she left the kitchen spotless! You would have never known a full gourmet meal had just been prepared in there. If you're looking to hire a private chef in the Lake Arrowhead or Big Bear area, I highly recommend her. We will absolutely be hiring her again!

Tami took the time to visit our gardens in advance to get a lay of the land, and was full of great ideas of how to best position the food tables. When the date of the gala arrived, Tami's crew arrived hours early to set up and were dressed professionally, which was very impressive. The chef and her crew worked tirelessly for 4 hours to keep hot and cold charcuterie delights fresh on the tables, including serving them to guests as they enjoyed the gardens. The food was absolutely out of this world, truly world class - with a large variety of both savory and dessert choices. My favorite was the bacon wrapped dates, which were absolute heaven. We host charity events throughout the year and we will definitely be hiring Tami Pounds to cater our events. She brings such a love to her work and the beauty of her food and gourmet deliciousness will be appreciated by all our guests.

I trusted her completely. For the day of wedding she arrived on time and braved the cold in the outdoors to cook us a coursed meal. Our picky parents could not stop raving about it, and I still think about the lobster mushroom dish she made. I'm salivating as i write this. Do not hesitate to book her. She's professional, friendly, funny, and made our day so special. Excuse the bad quality of pics as I inhaled the food so fast and the pics don't do its justice. Look at how beautiful her plates are too!

I met Chef Tea through a volunteering opportunity, and she was gracious enough to make the team some of her delicious Bahn Mi Sandwiches. Talk about love at first bite! If my mouth had a soul mate, I am pretty sure it would be the Bahn Mi. For reference, I was able to try the pork and vegetarian Bahn Mi. The umami flavors hit you immediately and is welcomed with the combination of fresh veggies and held together with a crispy yet soft baguette. It was Heaven by way of every bite! Another small but important point was how each sandwich was thoughtfully wrapped and had a list of ingredients as well. Days later, I was thinking about her sandwich, and I decided to try a Bahn Mi from a popular Vietnamese restaurant in my area. I was let down because it tasted so different from what I experienced in Chef Tea's sandwich. I repeated this with another restaurant weeks later, only to be let down once more. It is safe to say that she has ruined me for all other Bahn Mi's. If you find yourself in need of a personal Chef who will deliver the "wow" factor, please consider Tra An Cuisine.

"They" specifically Mar, originally verbally agreed to cater our family event, then after we had a couple of follow up conversations on the phone, she literally ignored me. She said multiple times she would send me an invoice and never did. She asked me for an email to verify our food requests and never followed through nor responded. Her husband Pat said he received the food order via email, so he also clearly lacks in follow up with potential clients. When I was able to get ahold of her, she kept stating she was busy and would "get around to it". Then she straight up ignored my calls and texts thereafter. DO NOT give this "so-called" catering business any of YOUR BUSINESS!! You will be VERY DISSAPOINTED. One star was too generous to give to them.
