“Island Catering has provided above excellent service. The quality of the meals and preparation at Albert Head has been beyond expectations and surpasses any of the other establishments I have had the opportunity to visit. Island Catering has shown a very strong commitment to the “customers” in spite of numerous challenges. I have been impressed with the consistent, dependable service provided and their level of co-operation with the users of Albert Head.”
Richard S Mudryk

Lieutenant Colonel, CD

“For the past four years, the quality of food services: the variety, the quality, the tastiness, the cleanliness, the friendly outgoing attitude of Azam and her staff and have consistently received positive comments. I personally meet with Azam at the beginning of each camp (and throughout the camp) and find her to be accommodating (diet restrictions-menu). She always remains calm, is soft spoken and easy to deal with. Her staff seems to really appreciate her leadership style as they can often be seen smiling, laughing and delivering a professional service to all of us. I would not hesitate to recommend Island Catering Ltd.”
