From start to finish they were hospitable, fun, attentive and knowledgeable in everything that John has to offer. The food- AMAZING. There was so much flavor for every single item we tried. They answered all of our questions but also walked us through what’s included and all of our options. It was an exciting environment and the staff's personalities flowed perfectly with our family. My fiancé and I ended up booking John’s catering service before even leaving the kitchen. We are SO excited to have Tailgate Gourmet at our wedding. John offers such a unique experience with far beyond reasonable prices. If you’re on the fence, don’t be! Book him! John is so kind and hilarious!”

Serves Ipswich, MA

We take pride in providing exceptional service and incredible cuisine from around the world! Our authentic multicultural offerings set us apart, allowing couples the freedom to fuse different cultural cuisines to create a unique and personalized experience for their guests.

“About 5-6 months before our wedding, our original caterer re-quoted our pricing that I had signed over a year ago and it had increased by almost 15k! I was so distraught and stressed, as you can imagine. Luckily I found Soraya through a Facebook wedding group after I had asked for a second opinion. SHE SAVED MY WEDDING DAY. My husband and I are Cambodian and Chinese and trying to find any upscale asian caterer in the NorthShore was darn near impossible. I had my heart set on an upscale multi-course asian banquet menu. We ended up with 10 courses! Soraya made it happen and all the food was made on site at our venue in Peabody (the Olio). Our guests could not stop raving about how delicious everything was! To think I almost went with drop catering as I thought that was my only option. Thank goodness I found Soraya! As anyone who has ever thrown a big event knows, the food will make or break an event. And Soraya's food MADE our wedding a huge success. Soraya made sure fried foods were crispy, hot foods were HOT, and each table service was flawlessly delivered. Even our foodie families were happy with the food and were so surprised at how authentic everything tasted. We had menu items that were Chinese and Cambodian. I would hire Soraya and her team again, and again, and again. She kept me at ease and made sure everything was flawlessly executed. THANK YOU again for everything Soraya. You have mine and my families deepest appreciation.”

“Jodi catered our wedding reception at the Arlington Town Hall in June 2023. Through all the planning, she made great recommendations for both the food and entire layout. For starters, she created a delicious menu accommodating over a dozen allergies. The dessert pies that she recommended from a local bakery were amazing. Jodi was very easy to work with. She gave good advice on the floor plans and was very patient with us when we made multiple changes to the seating arrangement and table sizes. Her team setup our DIY decorations and made the reception hall beautiful. And the staff were a delight to work with. Among the lovely reception, and our guests enjoying the meals, did we enjoy the food on our wedding day? Of course not! Why? Because you don’t eat on your wedding day. Instead, they packed our leftover meal, our cake, and some drinks for us to enjoy after the wedding. Jodi has our highest recommendation.”
