Reviews of Hawley Crescent Catering & Events (Catering)

Yvonne Campbell

Planning any event comes with a lot of anxiety and stress before and leading up to the day of. I contacted Sue and Roger at Hawley Crescent and provided them with some ideas of what I wanted to serve the guests at my Travel Trade Show, "Taste of the Caribbean". That was all the information they needed, as the end result met and exceeded my expectations! The event was a success and the meal which was prepared definitely accomplished the goal I envisioned for my guests. I will not hesitate to recommend Hawley Crescent Catering for any Corporate or family events in the future. Thanks Sue, Roger and the staff

Roger, Sue and the rest of the team cater each and every event to make sure that you receive exactly what you are after for your special occasion. They go above and beyond, and no task is too much for them! They put their heart and soul into their food and looking after you and your guests, and it shows!! Keep up the amazing work!!

Thank you Hawley Crescent for catering our end of summer event for 40 people. The charcuterie board was not only beautiful but delicious!! We loved every bite from the roast beef to the roasted potato and veg to the butter chicken and rice. WOW ten out of ten!!! We will be seeing you again!

Hawley Crescent Catering continues to be incredibly friendly, warm and accommodating. They cater delicious food and can deliver on creativity by customizing your order to fit any specific meal requirements while keeping the essence of the meal incredibly tasty!

I highly recommend them for any function, small or large. Keep up the great work everyone!

Janna James Realtor

I love the variety of foods and special needs/requests they are able to cater to (pun intended) I've attended my weddings and private events they have catered for and every one leaves with a full belly and great things to say about the staff and food alike. Their presentation is always beautiful. You can tell they put a lot of love into their work. Looking forward to our next event with Hawley Cresent! Thank you for going above and beyond!

STEVE C.

Sue treated us like we were their only clients. Fantastic idea at a reasonable price. Covid friendly with personal pizzas and individual charcuterie boxes and salad. Lynda and I thank you so much for helping make our son's and new daughter's day a success. Absolutely professional all the way. Well done.

Karen Gallagher

Hawley Crescent just catered to my Father's 84 th Birthday - we were beyond impressed with the incredible presentation, service and quality of the food! Thank you for helping to make Dad's day extra special!

Geoff Lalonde

This is a fantastic local company run by an amazing family. The food they prepare is second to none and has amazing portions. Sue and Roger are fantastic to work with and their service and kitchen staff make themselves available before, during, and after the event to make sure it goes off without a hitch!

Mel Langstaff

The best service, food and people. Roger and Sue catered our wedding this summer. They were amazing!!! Not only was the food great, they care and help make your day extraordinary. Thank you Team Hayley Crescent!!!!!!!!

Kelsey Douglas

Sue, Roger, Scott and their entire team made our wedding dreams come true. They personalised every aspect of our menu and coordinated everything with us while we were overseas. They were accommodating, professional and emotionally invested in the success of our big day. From the menu, cocktails, furniture, decor, flowers and every little detail, Sue was on it. She helped us out together a beautiful event and proactively did things we hadn't even thought of. They really made us feel loved and the food was absolutely sensational. Their staff were professional, fun and personable. One of the servers fixed my hair and brought me specific drinks and snacks during our photo session. There was a level of attention that sets Hawley Crescent apart from their competitors. Any caterer can provide you with food, but nobody will give you the personal touch that Sue and Roger bring to the table.

Mike McLeod

First time trying this place and it was well worth it. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. We will be ordering a second one very soon. Thank You! ( I drove from there to Vaughan with it so it may have looked slightly different then the picture when I first got it :) )

Jennifer Adamson

I love how they take my allergies seriously and have very creative and tasty solutions!

Stephanie Bell

Sue and Roger are the cream of the crop when it comes to catering professionals! We worked with them on our wedding this summer and were amazed by their service. The Hawley crescent team delivered amazing food and service but were also an invaluable asset when it came to the wedding day of schedule, rentals coordination, signage and table scape. I can’t express how patient and kind they were with us over several years from our engagement in 2018 to our wedding in 2021 as we had to postpone due to the pandemic. Under extremely challenging circumstances and with very unclear rules and regulations, Sue and her team made our wedding dreams come true and gave us the best outcome possible. Beautiful table, thoughtful schedule and the food was to die for! I would highly recommend Hawley Crescent for any catering services and especially for weddings!

Gabriel Dubé

They seem like a good company but we gave up eventually since we never got a quote after a month and a half of trying to get one. Went with another caterer in the end.

Bob Nemec

We’ve ordered several crush crates and they have always been the highlight of the meal. Excellent food and great service.

Chris Knight

Roger and his team at Hawley Crescent Catering have catered our event two years in a row and both times the food and service have been great. Roger and Sue are very hands on in the planning of the menu and meeting the needs and budget of our event and gave us amazing value for dollar. All of our guests were very pleased by the quality of food. We will definitely be using them again. Chris

Krista Arnold

We had our wedding catered by the team at Hawley Crescent in September 2021 and everything was absolutely fabulous! They were able to accommodate all meal requests, including a fully vegetarian wedding, among several other allergies and restrictions as well. The food was spectacular and everything was served on time and the staff was all amazing. We also booked an all-inclusive package which came with planning assistance, signage, and rentals, and everything was very customizable so that every detail was able to be changed to exactly what we envisioned. We are so grateful for the team at Hawley Crescent and all of their work that went into the most perfect day for us, and we would absolutely recommend them. :) Cheers and thanks again to the team for being a part of our big day! With love, Krista & Dave

Jeremy Barr

As a family with three small children, Hawley Crescent makes meal preparation easy, so that we can focus on doing all the other things we enjoy. Roger and his team combine the best of homemade cooking with the best of "fast food". We used to go out for supper once or twice a week to save time, but we found that it was expensive, and didn't really end up saving that much time. With Hawley Crescent, however, we get home, bathe the kids while the food reheats, and we sit down for supper twenty minutes later.

Lyndsey Thomas

Great food and great people! We got an amazing spread for Father's Day, all of it was delicious!

Joshua Davis

My wife and I used Hawley Cres catering for our wedding. They were above and beyond to make our wedding meal spectacular. It has been two months and we still hear from people how much they loved the meal that was provided. The portions were spectacular and they were willing to host us for a food tasting prior to the wedding that was amazing. We were absolutely shrilled with the services provided and would recommend them to anyone

illcavi2000

Ordered the appy hour crush crate for Christmas eve, and Christmas dinner for 2. Very impressed and everything tastes great. While most places had a minimum amount of servings required, we were very happy to find somewhere that would cater to any group size. Having gluten free was another added bonus.

Rielle Moore

Ordered a crush crate for a neighbour who had just welcomed their newest addition! They were able to come home, relax and pick at it throughout the day. The presentation was incredible and the value was amazing! Thank you for putting it together for us last minute Roger! Was nice to catch up

Peggy Bragg

Very helpful. Fantastic food.

Jacqueline Peacock

We ordered for our Company Christmas luncheon, and the food and service was amazing, Thank you so much!

Silvana Chiodi

Upon entering Hawley Crescent for our first meeting with Sue and Roger we were greeted with such hospitality and warmth , we felt right at home. Myself , my daughter and my daughters soon to be mother in-law went for our first meeting to talk about catering for my daughters wedding shower being held at The Parkwood Estate. (Sue and Roger have worked with Parkwood for many years and come highly recommended) Sue and Roger went out of their way to tell us how they could help us from start to finish. They basically are going to take care of everything for us, I mean everything including the set up the decor etc. We are looking forward to working with Hawley Crescent! Silvana

Pamela Heikamp

We had Hawley Crescent cater our wedding this summer and they were great. They prepared an amazing grazing table for our cocktail hour with many cured meats and cheeses. The main courses were all excellent and perfectly cooked. Service was quick and polite. Sue and Roger worked with us during our initial tastings and prepared many high quality dishes for us to try. Hawley Crescent brought their own unique culinary ideas, and were accommodating to our ideas as well. Would definitely recommend!

Nicole Kauling

Delicious, fresh, healthy food prepared with flavour.

Debbi Beiko

We are so very excited to have Hawley Crescent do our Christmas meal again this year. It has fast become tradition in our household to celebrate all of life's occasions with these delightful people. From birthdays, anniversary parties, work events, and backyard BBQs, their food and cheerful happy service has always impressed our family, guests and clients. And we definitely love the addition of the Crush Crates to their lineup. Way to roll with the times and bring out a winner. Our friends and neighbours were thrilled to enjoy one and now it is a go to item in our neighbourhood. My favourite is a quick handwritten note or special touch from Sue during these trying times. You can feel the love and devotion in every bite!

Patty Piliouras

I have been a huge fan since day 1 of Roger opening Hawley Crescent doors.. the take away meals are phenomenal.. especially the butter chicken.. hands down the best catering company in Durham Region. Beautiful family that work together to create memorable events #Supportlocalfamilybusiness

Catherine Philogene

Roger prepared a great spread for our son’s confirmation and our guests really enjoyed the food, especially the noodle boxes - those were a hit! Thank you for helping us make this day special.

Jordan Wotten

The family and team at Hawley Crescent are wonderful. Roger and Sue are fantastic to work with on a professional level, and I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking for catering services. All the best, Jordan Wotten

Tasted delicious desserts and pastry.

Laurie P

What a memorable weekend thanks to Hawley Crescent! Our family all gathered in Prince Edward County to celebrate our mother's 80th birthday. As we had rented a beautiful home on the water, we hired Hawley Crescent Culinary to cater the event. They were an absolute delight to work with and very accommodating as we have a number of dietary restrictions in our family. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and the service was outstanding. We cannot thank Hawley Crescent enough for going above and beyond to make sure this was a celebration we would never forget! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Laurie, Mary Ellen, and Chris

Amanda Roder

Hawley Crescent did the catering for our wedding this past weekend. The food was so delicious. We got sooo many compliments on how tasty everything was. They are amazing at what they do. Thanks so much guys!

Helen Gibson

Just enjoyed a fabulous dinner catered by Roger and his team. I was able to enjoy visiting all afternoon with my family and a bountiful and flavourful dinner that accommodated to our dietary restrictions.

Danielle Gabourie

Roger, Sue,Mandy and all the wonderful people at Hawley Crescent Culinary Services made our wedding the wedding we dreamed of! From our first meeting at a cute coffee shop, we knew we were in great hands! We had several important people attending our wedding with dietary needs, and there was no issue with accommodating their needs, and definitely many options for them to enjoy! Keith's main concern regarding the wedding was that the food had to be good, and Hawley Crescent definitely delivered! We have had many family members and friends comment about not only the taste but the presentation of the food. Additionally, Sue and Mandy were crucial parts of helping me with all the details leading up to our big day! They went above and beyond and by far exceeded my expectations! Hawley Crescent is a family orientated business that left us feeling like a part of their family! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Love, Keith and Danielle Weidmark August 10 2019 Newcastle Townhall

Shannon McMahon

Wow! I can’t say enough about my experience with Sue and Roger for our wedding. They were truly amazing to work with; they were so attentive to all my needs and definitely calmed my nerves more than once, both leading up to and during the big day. They helped us develop our vision and then made it happen! Their creativity and passion for what they do is obvious in their food. Friends and family are still raving about it days later. I would highly recommend them for ANY event you have. An overall excellent experience. :)

Leana k

I cannot say enough about this company. They were absolutely amazing in ever aspect. I had a catering company cancel on me and Hawley Crescent culinary services came to the rescue. Their food and service was outstanding. I know my review is a little late but you made my baby shower memorable and I will be booking you for future occasions!

Jess Nicholson

Had our Corporate Holiday lunch catered by Hawley, the menu provided was customized based on our needs and budget, and food was excellent!! Very fresh, a wide variety, and excellent vegetarian options. Pricing was extremely reasonable, and they provided us with everything. Roger & Sue were wonderful to deal with, very responsive and extremely helpful. I highly recommend this company, keep an eye out for them at events in Durham to try out if you don’t have a catering need!

Anjelica Kierans

First things first, the food was phenomenal. We are a very critical family when it comes to our food, but Roger and his gang knocked it out of the park, our guests only had good things to say. They seamlessly accommodated all dietary restrictions and created a wonderful "custom" salad for us. The team provides an incredible bunch of value added services like signage, décor rental and setup, table scape design and day of coordination, which will make any bride's day easier. They are attentive and no detail is too small. Through the uncertainties with the pandemic, they were compassionate and flexible, though we did not have to reschedule (thankfully) they allowed us more time to sort out our final numbers which was so appreciated. We cannot recommend them highly enough for a wedding or big event.

Barbara Switzer

Being new to the area, I asked friends to recommend a caterer and luckily was introduced to Roger and Sue. They were wonderful to deal with, both personally and professionally, from the first telephone conversation to the final wrap-up of our event. I appreciated so much how easy they made everything for me, and how much my family and friends raved about their delicious food and excellent service. Thanks so much, Roger and Sue (and Scott)

Stefan B

I have been going to Roger for a while and the food is impeccable. Service is always on point. Quality is what makes this service stand out from others.

Jessica Shah

Planning a wedding can be stressful especially when ensuring guests are happy and fed good food. Roger and Sue made it so fun and stress free. The tastings were amazing, felt like we were sitting at the family dinner table with them. They can do any kind of dish you want and will even suggest items that you didnt even think of. For our wedding we decided to go with a non traditional dinner. Servers were passing around heavier appetizer type dishes while a couple of stations were set up for guests to help themselves. Guests are still raving about our food and how amazing the staff at Hawley Crescent was. Everyone left stuffed and happy which was the goal. The food was so so delicious and everything we wanted. A couple of comments made by guests included "best butter chicken I have ever had!" and "a buttertart bar!? best wedding ever". Sue's attention to detail made it even more special. The set up was perfect and she and team were so helpful in setting up the day. They set up our guestbook and favours table. I had no worries or concerns the day of thanks to them. The warming and welcoming presence they bring made it that much more personal. They are more than a catering company. I feel like my new husband and myself will always be apart of the Hawley Crescent family and will continue to urge everyone to use them for any event. Words cant describe how thankful we are to you guys.

Hawley Crescent did a fantastic job planning our wedding! In just 2 months, they planned and executed the most PERFECT day for us. We had a 44 person outdoor wedding in Aug 2020 (during COVID) and all our guests felt so safe with all the safety protocols taken by the team. The food was UNREAL - I still dream of that late night pizza! The decor and set up was everything I had envisioned. It was truly the best day and Mandy, Sue and Roger deserve a lot of credit for making it happen! You will not regret your decision to work with this lovely family!

Jennifer McCall

I can not thank roger sue Mandy and the entire team at Hawley crescent. They are the most amazing people, professional, friendly and perfect ! They made our wedding day absolutely amazing. All of our guests were raving about the food. So delicious ! From start to finish they helped organize our day and it was incredible! I highly recommend and will be using Hawley for future events. Absolutely fantastic service ! Thank you Hawley crescent !

Jodie Zhu

Hawley Crescent did an amazing job planning our Elopement. We had a 16 person outdoor Elopement in Aug 2020. The food was awesome!! Especially the brisket beef and salmon! Set up was beautiful too. The team stayed late to make sure everyone enjoy the full set of meal. We really appreciate Roger, Sue and Mandy to help us make dream come true.

M Dav

Hawley Crescent meals are wholesome, healthy and full of taste. "Quality" My whole family have absolutely loved everything I've ordered so far. Delicious!

Chelsea Bragg

There aren't enough words to describe how incredible Hawley Crescent catering is! Choosing them to cater my wedding in October was the best idea! They were quick to respond, helpful in everyway from picking the perfect menu, to making sure our guests were safe with the way they follow and keep up with the Covid rules. Though having a wedding during a pandemic isnt someones first choice, everything happeneds for a reason and I wouldnt have had the oppurtunity to eat the most delish food on the happiest day of our lives. I will recommend them forever!
