Terroir & Table - Unique Mobile Catering Service

"Dear Janette and Xavier,

We are writing to thank you both for your sensational contribution to our wedding. Our vision for our special day was along the lines of the fabulous lunch scene from 'Like Water for Chocolate', so I was ecstatic when a friend directed me to your website, as your style and philosophy matched this vision perfectly. Your passion and commitment to quality ensured that on the day every dish was beautifully presented and breathtakingly delicious, and the atmosphere created by the sharing of food couldn't have been more perfect. Looking around at the delighted guests, it was hard to tell whether people were weeping over the sentimental speeches or the succulence of the lamb!

Of the countless weddings and large functions we have attended, we have never experienced food anywhere near the quality that you produced for our 80 guests, and now, months later, people are still raving about their favourites among the various dishes that you served. Your catering is absolutely unique and we are delighted to recommend your service to anyone passionate about good food.

With our gratitude and best wishes."

Alex Brown and Catie Gressier

A big thank you to Xavier and Janette, for providing a delicious array of food at our long table lunch for 90 people, at Maitraya Retreat in Albany. Everyone commented on how fantastic the entrée, main and desert was - especially the Blueberry Tarte! We had a very tight schedule to work with and you both did an amazing job catering for so many people in that short space of time. I would not hesitate in recommending Terroir and Table to others requiring catering for a long table lunch – the quality is outstanding and their experience is invaluable.

"A group of 10 ladies shared a wonderful Christmas lunch catered for by Terroir and Table in a private home. Everyone appreciated the thoughtful choice of menu which considered the special dietary concerns of one or two people and made full use of local and in season quality produce. It was a tantelising, tasty treat for all of us.

Saturday 12th February saw the marriage of some of life’s key essential elements - an evening of divine wines, delicious French peasant fare by Xavier & Janette Poupel of Terroir & Table, and great friends, set in the wine production area of the Rickety Gate winery; a huge success judging by the ongoing feedback received by all who attended.

Xavier’s ‘theatre of food’, showcasing his mobile wood-fired oven delivered the best of French regional rustic cuisine. This coupled with his interactive personality & knowledgeable expertise, plus his passion for the “Slow Food” philosophy made the atmosphere of the evening positively infectious.

Janette’s flare for set-up, décor and attention to detail left no stone unturned , along with her efficient yet discrete service ensured the evening went without a hitch.

Rickety Gate Estate is looking forward to many more collaborations with Terroir & Table in show casing and supporting the Great Southern’s regional produce.

"The food you provided was superb – and without doubt allowed the guests to feel they received tremendous value for money. Every part of the day was catered to without a hitch – allowing the guests to taste so many food sensations from Provence and other areas of the world you have lived and worked in.

Your professionalism in handling some difficult situations during the day without losing your sense of humour was terrific.

I would not hesitate in recommending Terroir and Table to others considering a catering job, both large and small......."
