Absolutely fantastic service provided from David at Premier Bites. He made the process of organising catering for a memorial service as easy as possible from booking to setting up on the day. The afternoon tea selection was enjoyed by all and had a brilliant variety of options to cater for all tastes. It was all very well presented and I would recommend to anyone. Will definitely be using Premier Bites again!

Premier Bites have been covering my lunch needs on a regular basis for the last few years and there really isn't anywhere else I would go in Poole. Not only are the options vast in range but they are all delicious and you are always met with a friendly face. Support the independent, not the chain.

Premier Bites catered for my Mum's 90th Birthday. I had to arrange everything from abroad and they surpassed my expectations, the food was beautifully presented, tasted superb and I do not think I could have made it all myself for the price. Everything was eaten and my mum had an amazing party - thank you Premier Bites.

Delicious Lunches. We use Premier Bites to cater for our very formal business lunches. The food they provide is not only delicious but well-presented and very fresh. The selection is immense and David & Emma are never resilient to any of our special requests. Even when they are very last minute. Premier Bites are a joy to work with, a delight to consume and we will continue to request our Business lunches from them
