Recent Reviews
Went to a function recently that Salt of the Earth catered, and there are no words for how outstanding the food was. I put on many functions and run a large number of events. This company is head and shoulders above the rest. You will not find better a better caterer around anywhere! they are a MUST use for your next event!!!!
Salt of the Earth did a bbq for our 8th grade field day at PCIS. Burgers, dogs, watermelon, Mac salad, etc. for about 350 people without a single hiccup or issue. They set up and broke down so quickly and fed those 13 and 14-year-olds within a small time frame of an hour. Everyone was incredible to work with and I would love to use them for something else in the future.
Sarah and the Salt of the Earth team were fantastic to deal with. We recently had a surprise 60th birthday party for my wife and had over a 100 folks join us at the Plymouth Yacht Club, everyone of our guests raved about the food and the service. Sarah helped us with every step related to food choices, planning to ensure we had enough food for all of our guests.
We used Salt of the Earth for the second time this year - for a client harbor cruise. Once again, the food was fabulous, and the service top notch! I definitely recommend them!
Amazing Experience with Salt of the earth catering. When it comes to large quantity dishes, you're not expecting anything to be exceptional but I can honestly say each one of the dishes greatly exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend the Roasted potatoes and baked Mac and cheese, some of the best I have ever had.
We ordered food for a family reunion of 20~ people. They were responsive to our needs. Convenient pickup with friendly and courteous staff. Some of the best pulled pork I’ve ever had!
Salt of the Earth Catering was such a great choice for our event! They are incredibly easy to communicate with and were flexible with changes to accommodate our event. The food was excellent and the staff were incredibly professional!!
I cannot say enough about Salt of the Earth catering. They came to my rescue two weeks before my daughter’s bridal shower after two other catering companies fell through. They delivered and set up efficiently and were very professional. The food was delicious. I will definitely use them again!
Sarah and the folks from Salt of the Earth who helped make our special day go off without a hitch. The food was spectacular 😋! All our guests raved about each and everything they tried. My husband said that the Oyster Rockefeller was the best he's ever eaten! The two folks who came to set up, serve and break down were just as amazing.
I had an excellent experience with a buffet that had to be pulled together quickly. The food was great, Chowder was superb, and the wait staff was very attentive and pleasant. I will definitely use Salt of the Earth catering again when the moment arises.
