Me and my husband used this catering service for our wedding day.
What can I say.. the customer service was top notch. The food was amazing full of spice and flavour.
The portions was way more then what we paid for. There was enough for seconds. When I spoke to all our guest they all said how lovely the food was and asked who they were and where I found them. I would highly recommend savannas catering she was so professional with a personal touch.

Amazing! This is the second time I have ordered from Savannas. The first time was for my birthday in November, everyone loved the food so I decided to order again as I was throwing a much bigger party this time. Feedback from guests was super possitive. If I am ever throwing a party in this area again I definitely will order from here. Karen was very responsive too and a pleasure to speak to. More...

We recently used Savannah's Catering for a special double celebration, and they exceeded all expectations. The food was absolutely delicious—every dish was a hit among guests of all ages at our party. What really set them apart, however, was their exceptional staff. They were not only patient and accommodating but also proactive, stepping in to assist with some last-minute challenges we faced during the event. The preparation of materials was splendid, ensuring everything ran smoothly. It's no wonder everyone raved about the food and service! Highly recommend Savannah's Catering for their professionalism and outstanding culinary skills. Thank you for making our celebration memorable! More...

There was clear regular and honest communication. Conversations were friendly and Karen was very accommodating. When I asked for a taste test she was more than willing and met me at a convenient location with very reasonable portions and a variety of dishes to try. Overall a great service. 👍

Illana
We opted to use Savanna catering and we are so happy we did.
Right from the beginning communication regarding what menus were on offer and the flexibility on what Savanna’s could provide depending on our personal choices were amazing!
Nothing was too much trouble.
On the day of our event, savanna’s were on point. They arrived on time set up in a timely manner and had all of our guests eating in no time.
The food was delicious!!!! The quality was 100% everyone loved the food. As a people from a West Indian background we know West Indian food. Our guests asking which caterer we used, that’s how much the food was enjoyed.
All staff were professional, down to earth and kind . We couldn’t have asked for more. We will be using these guys again for any future events we have. You can not go wrong with Savanna’s

WOW!! I would just like to thank Karen and her excellent team at Savannas on providing an amazing food experience for our guests. Even though we only had a few weeks to prepare, Karen and her team went above and beyond to be extremely accommodating with our requests. The team at Savanna's are very professional, our questions were answered promptly and all our requests were met. The food was extremely delicious so much so that we received a lot of praise from our guests with some going up for seconds and thirds. We were extremely happy with Savanna's service and will definitely be using them again in the future. More...

I gave 4 stars because in the end the family decided to go with a local business.
Karen was very friendly & polite, also pleasant to deal with, she went out of her to deliver samples to my door. Food was tasty & flavoursome.

This was my first time hiring a catering company and it was for engagement party for 60 people.
Since the beginning the communication was absolutely amazing.
Very very helpful and always answering my questions. Amazing at recommending to make sure everyone was happy.
Food arrived at the hall and was set up by two lovely ladies. We also hired the chaffing dishes and the foot was hot all night!
Everyone literally had 3 plates of food and the compliments were coming from all angles!
The chicken... just the smell I was drooling 😂 SOO much flavour. Just melts in your mouth. We also got rice & peas, a yummy salad and an amazing mac and cheese which was gone in seconds!
I would absolutely get Savannas to cater for my party again!
Thank you so much Savannas!!

Had a last minute order due to hob breaking down and Savannah’s were truly amazing. Quick contact time and response time was fast and polite. Talked through the menu and provided family favourites. Contact throughout. The fam favourite was the fried chicken and wow. Everything was delicious and my son who lives out of town has already told me to order for his birthday and he will drive to collect. More...

I spoke with Savanna's several times for quoting and planning for our wedding catering. Ultimately, a family member offered to do the catering for us, however I really wanted to leave a review. I found Savanna's incredibly helpful, responsive, flexible and generally a joy to plan with. They gave me lots of ideas I hadn't thought of and were very mindful of helping us manage our budget. They were also very gracious and understanding when ultimately we went with family for catering (after investing significant time with us) The next time I'm looking for a professional caterer, I will definitely come back to them!

The service was exceptional, the staff were on time and ready to serve when asked. The staff were friendly and constantly communicating with us to ensure everything was ok.
They made sure they made my partner and I a plate and gave it to us as we were busy with other things.
And of course the food was amazing as well. We will be using their services in the future.

You couldn't find a better catering Company Savannas. The food is absolutely amazing! lovely so tasty full of flavours perfectly presented! Great prices! The people serving was amazing very lovely people! Karen is very understanding and generally a caring person. she did the catering for my grandads funeral and throughout the whole process Karen was messaging to make sure we are doing as best as we can be during this time and after which i thought was really lovely and kind not a lot of companies are kind and caring. Karen generally cared on how we was feeling not just as a cater and went the extra mile did so much and helped out so much. We really appreciate everything. You are an amazing company and the nicest people. Thank you. Definitely recommend and I'll be using from now for all events and celebrations and memorials 😇😊👍🏾 More...

I engaged the services of Savanna's for a special family and friends celebration to mark my 40th Birthday.
Within a day of me logging my request for help with Bark, Karen from Savanna's had called me.
From the moment Karen got in touch, to the point of clearing up on the night, Savanna's provided a 100% service.
I have since told Karen that I was so nervous using Bark's service. I'm old skool, and I have never engaged a big service from an online intermediary, other than Amazon! And even Amazon haven't provided me a big service - just small purchases.
This was a big commitment to make.
I had tried 3 other taster meals prior to Savanna's. Karen turned up at my door with a FREE tasting menu, enough to feed 4 and tasting delicious.
I agreed a booking and then reflected on what I was going to do about my bar service. Karen was on hand immediately. Savanna's provided EXPERIENCED bar staff, who made sure I had a drink in my hand all night.
Guests...
Feedback: Dad: Two days after the event "please tell Karen that I thought her food was excellent. Excellent."
Sister: A day after the event "please tell Karen thanks from all of us. The food was excellent".
Family friend two days after the event "The food was excellent. We went to a Christening last week and the rice and peas was so dry. This food - you could taste the coconut."
Work colleagues: "The food was delicious." "Mine is perfect. This is perfect for me."
I could go on... but you get the idea.
Portions...
I will just say that your guests will not go hungry.
Communication and organisation:
Top top... Karen is the real deal. So professional. I told the venue that Karen had contacted me whilst abroad, before my party. They told me they'd never heard of that. This was going to be an excellent service.
I wish Karen and the girls at Savanna's all the very best with their catering service. I'm a bit of a worrier and a fuss pot and they reassured me the whole way through the process. We changed the menu on my request, even adapted recipes.
Thank you so much for making my celebration the perfect night that it was. I will be booking again, and you should probably keep an eye on your inbox for more bookings from family and friends!!! Xx

Savannas service was amazing, great value for money, we had 9 dishes for our buffet. They made my life so easy, fune tuning the menu offering a wide choice. Our guests loved the food. It was my mums 80th birthday, and she loved the curried prawns. The mutton melted in your mouth, the jerk & fried chicken was so moist.Also Karen went the extra mile. We brought our own dessert and I asked them to cut them into portions, which they did. We provided our own chafer dishes and washed the all up. They stayed over their time. I would recommend their service you will not be disappointed. More...
Samantha
Amazing service followed by amazing food! Everything was perfect and you can really tell the food is made with love and care
Camron
The food was absolutely amazing, tender succulent and juicy. And may I just say seasoned to perfection
What’s your signature dish?
My signature dish is jerk chicken—done the real way. Slow-marinated in a blend of fresh herbs, scotch bonnet, pimento, and my own family seasoning mix that’s been passed down and perfected. I cook it over flame to get that smoky, charred edge, just like it’s done back home.
But it’s more than just the chicken—it’s the full plate. I serve it with fluffy rice and peas, fried plantain, and a homemade jerk sauce that hits all the right notes: spicy, sweet, and full of flavor.
It’s the dish that gets people lining up at events, messaging me after pop-ups, and asking for seconds before they’ve finished the first plate. It represents everything I love about Jamaican food—bold, soulful, and unforgettable.
How do you go about creating the perfect menu for your clients?
Creating the perfect menu always starts with listening. I take time to understand what my client wants—whether it’s a casual pub vibe, a private event, or something more formal. I ask about their vision, the type of crowd, dietary needs, and the overall feel they’re going for.
From there, I build a menu that balances authentic Jamaican flavors with variety and practicality. I always include staples like jerk chicken, curry goat, and patties, but I also offer twists and seasonal options to keep things fresh and exciting. Every dish has to not only taste great, but also work well in the setting—whether it’s plated, buffet-style, or street-food vibes.
My background in catering and management means I know how to scale, cost, and deliver consistent quality, no matter the size of the event. I focus on flavor, presentation, and that warm, welcoming experience that makes people feel at home.
What do you love most about your job?
What I love most about my job is the joy it brings to people. There’s nothing better than watching someone take that first bite and seeing their face light up. Food has a way of connecting people—it brings out stories, memories, and emotion—and I get to be a part of that every single day.
I also love the creativity. Whether I’m building a new menu, planning an event, or just experimenting with flavors in the kitchen, I get to express myself through food. And being able to share my Jamaican culture with others—through dishes that mean something to me and my family—that’s powerful. It’s more than cooking. It’s storytelling, it’s tradition, and it’s love on a plate.
What inspired you to start your own business?
The name Savanna’s stems from its roots in Savanna La Mar, Westmoreland, Jamaica. Our special recipes have been passed down from Mr Dudley Brown, who grew up in the town. His legendary recipes have been given a modern twist to some of Jamaica’s favourite dishes and specialities like curry goat, saltfish fritters and jerk chicken.
Why should our clients choose you?
Clients should choose me because I bring authenticity, experience, and passion to every plate I serve. I’ve successfully run a Jamaican catering business, and I know how to deliver high-quality food with professionalism and consistency. Whether it’s a casual gathering or a full-scale event, I understand how to manage the details and bring the right energy.
But more than that—I care. I care about the food, the presentation, the service, and most importantly, the people. I take time to understand what each client wants and tailor every menu to suit their needs, while still staying true to the bold, rich flavors of Jamaican cuisine.
