Great food and service …

Dookie’s catered our daughter’s 18th and the food was a big hit with all the guests, particularly the sea bass wrap! Fast, smooth, timely and professional service I would definitely recommend 😊

Brilliant food & Service. Would definitely recommend!!

Dookies catered for my daughter’s birthday party. We had 75 guests in a venue with no kitchen facilities whatsoever. Dookies provided a full, hot deliciously tasty Caribbean buffet, perfectly cooked, and ready bang on time for our guests.
The food was exquisite! Everything went smoothly despite the venue’s limited resources.
Everything ran to time, and the presentation/ aesthetic was superb
So many people (including cooks and other professional chefs who were there, commented on how great the food was. There was more than enough, and all the details were carefully thought of and organised.
All staff were pleasant and welcoming to my guests which was impotent because I wanted the party to feel like home from home and it really did.
Special shout out to Maz herself for just being so calm and supportive to me personally all day.
The incredible high standard your company is known for was totally upheld and made my daughter’s party a HUGE success
Thank you so much again for everything

Dookies made our Winter Ball event an unforgettable experience for all our young people and carers! From the first conversation, Sean, the owner and lead contact, went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. His exceptional customer care and genuine passion for his craft set this service apart.
Sean’s flexibility was remarkable—he listened carefully to our needs, offered thoughtful suggestions, and tailored the menu to suit our preferences. No request felt too big or small, and he delivered with such ease and professionalism that it made the entire process stress-free.

The food? Phenomenal! Every dish was a burst of authenticity. Every bite was a testament to their commitment to quality and taste, from the perfectly seasoned fried chicken to the mouthwatering plantains.
If you’re looking for a catering service that combines incredible food with outstanding customer care, Dookies Caribbean Grill is it. Sean and his team are a true gem; we can’t wait to work with them again. I highly, highly recommend it!

Bit of a late response to this

Bit of a late response to this. But these guys recently catered for my wedding party in Harlow. Having married my wife a month prior in Jamaica we were looking for a Caribbean taste here at home. And I am genuinely so grateful we had the chance to secure Dookie. The curry goat literally came so tender and fell from the bone. Rice and pea was unbelievable and fluffy. The jerk chicken was next level. The Caribbean spices were amazing, when it’s absolutely fire and delicious is a skill in itself. Real authentic, real nice people too. Straight up big in the game. I just hope the Jamaicans don’t taste it because they will be vex for the uk doing it better than them. Thanks 🇯🇲💙🔥

Highly recommend

Dookies did the buffet for our wedding. The food was delicious and excellent in every way. All our guests commented on how good it was. I was particularly impressed with attention to vegan and vegetarian needs. The service on the day ran smoothly and efficiently feeding 90 people in a short time. Including seconds! Sean and the team were friendly and professional throughout.
We really enjoyed the tasting we had before the event which gave us a lot of confidence. Some details about the requirements of our venue were missed and this caused some stress. However things were resolved professionally and amicably which helped a lot. We would highly recommend.

Dookies Caribbean Grill absolutely brilliant

Dookies Caribbean grill did the food for our wedding party recently. Every single guest commented on how delicious the food was. The van looks amazing and the staff were brilliant right from suppling a quote to after the event. Couldn’t recommend them enough.

It’s making me want to have another party just to be able to use them again for catering.

The catering offered an affordable but a variety of tasty Caribbean cuisine.

Having organised our baby shower, it was our first time using a catering company and I must say I’ve had the best experience with Dookies Grill from the beginning to the end. The catering offered an affordable but a variety of tasty Caribbean cuisine. Great communication, amazing food everyone loved it. The team was amazing on the day felt they were apart of our event. I look forward to using your services in the near future. Thank you Sean and Team for making our evening unforgettable and memories last a life time.

Exceptional Service and Food!

We hired Dookies Grill to cater for WCC's Black History Month Celebration and were left awestruck by their professionalism, kindness and amazing food. They were attentive to any special requests made and went above & beyond to ensure that residents enjoyed their evening. All of the staff were helpful, especially in supporting our council staff in cleaning up after the event. Special shout-out to Sean for his co-operation from the planning stage of the event and following the event. 100/10 recommend for any of your future events!

I found Dookies Grill via instagram last year. Their food looked great and had great options I required for my wedding evening food.

Throughout the communication leading up to the wedding Sean was very attentive and took on board all our issues and requests.

We was blown away by the taster meeting which was absolutely perfect we both said yes straight away as they met our needs for quality and quantity.

We got married on the 21 September during the day I saw the spread from dookies grill which was laid out beautifully as an addition they provided a fruit section and added rice which was not initially on our request, this was a pleasant surprise and accompanied our menu perfectly and we was so appreciative of this gesture.

After the wedding we was provided with a bride and groom take away package which was greatly appreciated the next day.

We also have had a lot of positive feedback from our guest who loved the food especially the jerk chicken. They were also so happy there was take away boxes provided by dookies grill at no extra charge.

All in all this was a perfect match and made our day even more special. I will be using them again for my daughters birthday or graduation can’t wait!

Thank you Dookies Grill for making our day memorable and putting a smile on our guest faces x

Experienced Dookies at a recent wedding…

Experienced Dookies at a recent wedding and will definitely use them in the future. The staff were well trained and customer focused. The food was delicious. I am a vegetarian and veg food is often an after thought. This was not the case with Dookies. Everything was delicious, plentiful and served with a smile and can do attitude. They catered for a large event with professionalism and an attention to detail that is often missing else where.

Excellent catering service.

Dookies provided the outside catering for my son and his bride's wedding in Hitchen. The service was excellent and prompt. The vegetarian curry, rice and peas, coleslaw and plaintain was great and plentiful. My friends who eat meat were complimenting the chef about the Jerk Chicken and Fish dishes. The desert table, cakes and pastries were excellent also. To be recommended.

Dookies…authentic and professional

I attended a wedding catered by Dookies a few days ago.
The food was served family style. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable.
Everyone I spoke to commented about how much they enjoyed the food.
I would recommend Dookies to anyone wanting authentic caribbean food served in a professional manner. I will certainly be using them for any future family celebration events.

Delicious

Experienced Dookie’s at a recent wedding and it was fantastic. The canapés were delicious and so was the main meal. The jerk chicken was really well seasoned and not dry at all. The service was also wonderful, all the wait staff were friendly and helpful.

I’m looking forward to eating here again.
