Welcome to Gourmet Gorillas

Ian started Gourmet Gorillas after 30 years in the catering industry and was joined by his wife Karen in 2019 who has 30 years’ experience of customer service and event planning.

Gourmet Gorillas has the team in place to ensure your wedding catering and corporate entertaining goes exactly as you have envisaged. Ian has successfully built a team of people who are experts in the catering and services industry.

We can help plan and cater for all outdoor events in Worcestershire, Warwickshire, West Midlands and Gloucestershire.

Gourmet Gorillas will create an experience to ensure your catering event is bespoke. You can choose from Hog Roasts through to BBQ’s, Pizza’s and Paella. We have created menu suggestions for you to select from, these are all tried and tested. Ian sources from reputable, local suppliers and he has used the same partners for many years.

Karen will help you through your order and quotation process and ensure you have all the information you need to make your celebration a fabulous experience, whether catering for a wedding, providing a BBQ for a birthday or cooking for your corporate event,

We have all the kit necessary for providing successful outdoor catering. We often don’t need electric; we literally bring our kitchen to you and cook on gas. The minimum space we need is 3m x 3m. this is to erect our gazebo.

We cater for 50 to 500 covers

We are delighted to take bookings from smaller parties up to really large events of 500 plus (If you have over 500 guests still please ask!) We have trained chefs and serving staff who are equally adept at coping with all situations.

Meet the team

We have other team members, but these are the driving force behind each event. As the owner of
Gourmet Gorillas, “Silver back” I am involved in the planning and preparation of each and every
event. But this will only work with the help, experience, and customer service skills from the team.

HAPPY TESTIMONIALS

Just to say another huge thank you for doing the christening meal on Sunday. Everyone had a fantastic time and the meal was delicious. It was good of your wife to give up most of her Mother’s Day and was greatly appreciated. Hope to see you again soon

Just wanted to say thank you again for the wonderful food you provided on Saturday.

Many thanks

Thanks again Ian to you and Karen for delivering superb food in the garden yesterday!  All our guests were very complimentary!

Andrew Didlick - Knowle

Thank you for providing such a professional and friendly service which made it a really special and memorable evening for us. The pancakes were delicious and everyone enjoyed the experience. the rear of the garden was definitely the best position. I hope you managed to get to the Blue Boar after?

I will leave a review on your Facebook page and recommend you to any of our friends who are looking for quality event catering.

Wishing you all the best for a busy and successful summer.

Just a quick note to thank you and Karen so much for everything last night. It was really lovely to meet you both and the burgers were absolutely fantastic.

We had loads of really fabulous feedback on the food and it certainly helped to make our evening a great success.

I hope you don’t mind, but I have passed your details on to the cricket club too, as they were singing your praises and might be looking for someone to help with some of their events.

I will definitely be in touch again when we have future events.

Thank you so much once again for everything.

Jan and Derek Stratford upon Avon

COVID had already disrupted our first wedding date, thank you for being so obliging and letting us re book, I know it must have been a pain for you to do the risk assessment to make sure we were all safe and following the guidelines, it was so much appreciated as it took all the pressure off us. The BBQ was amazing despite the circumstances, we will definitely be booking you again as soon as we find an excuse for a party!

Sara and Michael - Bromsgrove

Mike and I just wanted to say a huge thank you for a fantastic BBQ last week. Our friends were all really wowed – we have had so many compliments about the food. You guys were a pleasure to have around.

Thanks so much – we are looking forward to catching up with you talk about Mikes big birthday in a few years time!

Dear Ian and Karen,

Apologies for not doing this sooner, but I would like to thank you both so much for providing the fantastic pork, stuffing and apple rolls on Saturday. The quality of your food and your service was excellent, and everyone has commented on how having you there made the afternoon all the more special.

I will most definitely be in touch again in future to provide hot food at more garden events we have planned, and especially when we open our brand new music ‘hall’ in Spring next year! Watch this space!
