RED OLIVE CATERING-A SNIPPET OF WHO WE ARE
Charlie Thellusson set up ‘The Red Olive Catering Company’ in 2001 and within that time the company has gained an exceptional reputation for innovative cuisine and first class service.
We take great pride in hand picking all of our staff and training each and every one to a high standard of excellence. We pride ourselves on the fact that we do not use recruitment companies for any of our staff requirements.
“Charlie and his team at Red Olive exceeded our expectations and more. Not only did they supply the most fantastic meal that our guests haven't stopped talking about, they also set our entire Venue up before hand ensuring every single detail was perfect (we were unable to set up our own tables, favours, name places, centerpieces etc) We met with Charlie before hand to plan our settings, we were a little unconventional in that we had photographs as place settings so it wasn't an easy process ensuring every ones was in the correct place but sure enough everyone of our 106 guests were in the correct seat. The service throughout the day was out of this world, the professionalism and polite attitude of all of the red olive team was outstanding, as the evening was drawing to a close and Charlie and his team were about to leave, i asked for our wedding cake to be distributed- without a fuss his team all returnrd in uniform to ensure our every need was met. Nothing was too much trouble. We cannot recommend Red Olive enough, choosing them to cater our wedding was definately one of the best decisions we have ever made.”
