Your website says that you will cater for large & small events and you are true to your word. I had a handful of people coming over and I had last minute conflict. I called J&L for assistance. You prepared trays that were the hit of my party. People had abundant servings and I was delighted by the quality, appearance & taste of your food.

J&L catered my Christmas party this year and the food was excellent!! My guests raved about the steak tips and the butternut lasagna. We highly recommend John's catering and his services were impeccable and on-time. We hope to use them again for our next party!!

We cannot recommend J&L Catering highly enough! John truly went above and beyond to provide exceptional food, excellent advice, and positive energy for our wedding. He answered all of our questions promptly (even the email I sent in a panic at 5am the morning of our wedding), and he was so thoughtful during our wedding (including sending over a plate of the hors d'oeuvres for us during cocktail hour to make sure we ate). The entire staff was so friendly and helpful during our event - they made sure everything ran seamlessly. Absolutely recommend J&L Catering for any event!

John and Laurel catered my wife's 40th birthday party this weekend. They couldn't have been kinder or more accommodating to me over the past couple months as I changed head count numbers and told them the party might be cancelled due to COVID spikes. John even talked me into getting less food than I ordered which was great because we had many trays left over

Food was amazing. Guests were raving about the Chicken Parm and stuffed mushrooms. Everything was great. We also got Eggplant Parm, Baked Ziti and Veggie Lasagna. All delicious.

AMAZING SERVICE!!! John from J&L was very professional, prompt and clear. No secrets here, just great food and honest service. I used J&L for the first time recently to serve 25 people for a luncheon at my work. It was easy, fast and they take your credit card right over the phone. He even delivered. I will be using J&L in the future!

Like many brides, I began the tedious process of searching for a caterer for our upcoming wedding. I spoke to several catering companies that resided in the Boston area but their pricing for one night was far too expensive considering our wedding was going to span three full days for all guests. I continued to search for caterers and came across J&L Catering, which also happened to be local to me. Our first phone conversation went amazingly. John really understood my vision and was able to provide all the elements we needed for our three days (raw bar, carving station, and lobster bake). The pricing

We got married in Holliston on 08/18/18. It was such a pleasure to work with John throughout our wedding planning process and ESPECIALLY on the day of our wedding. We would recommend him as one of our top vendors. It is a very close tie in praise between how amazingly good the food was and how professional and prepared his team was. All of the guests enjoyed the meal, which given our last minute changes due to weather, was an amazing improvisation by John to get all of the food out timely and everything was delicious.
Picking our menu and doing our tasting was one of the best parts of the planning

I've never had to hire a caterer for anything before and John was super friendly, helpful, and understanding from the beginning. The food was delicious and I honestly wish I had some more to eat right now. I will definitely recommend John to others and would use him again myself.

John prepared a wonderful meal for my husband and I and another couple in our home. From the beginning, John was very easy to communicate with and sensitive to some of our dietary needs. Our meals were BEAUTIFULLY presented and tasted amazing. What a treat!!!! We will definitely be using him again!!!

Ohn catered an in-home 80th birthday party for 25 people this past weekend. All the food was excellent and well-presented - beautiful stationary displays and the passed appetizers won raves. John was very easy to work with, very professional and very helpful in crafting the menu. I knew what I wanted for the most part, but he helped me hone in on the perfect amount of food. We had enough food that the anyone could come back for seconds or thirds, but not an insane amount of leftovers that would go to waste.

J & L Catering recently provided food for our corporate open house event. John the owner covers all the bases from start to finish... making sure you have the best type of food choices for your party up through the final touches on the event. The hors d'oeuvres and hot appetizers were amazing, a contemporary variety was available and they were made from scratch. John goes above and beyond for his clients. Definitely give J & L a try to cater your event or wedding.
