Customer feedback
Trusted by local businesses
Real feedback from commercial kitchens and catering businesses we support.
"We only recently came across Black Knight Catering, which is a pity as their service is fantastic, efficient and professional. Craig and Vinnie are thoroughly nice people and although I may be leaving the Black Horse, I'll certainly be using them again in another venture."
"I manage a pizza shop and our extraction fan failed. I called Black Knight at 8:00am and they were on site within two hours. They diagnosed the fault quickly, ordered parts for next-day delivery and had us back up and running at less than half the cost of our usual engineers. Ten out of ten service."
"I called Black Knight Catering when my fryer range wouldn't start. They arrived within the hour, explained everything clearly and even cleaned up afterwards. Hard-working, polite guys who get the job done."
"Our usual engineers couldn't attend for two days, but Black Knight arrived within two hours. They found a gas leak, made the kitchen safe so we could stay open, and completed the repair quickly once parts arrived. I highly recommend them."
