tried 3 times: I tried Christine about 3 years ago and was extremely happy. She did a delicious stuffed turkey breast, exquisite green salad and mouthwatering vegetarian lasagna. So the next time I had an occasion I called and ordered another vegetarian lasagna however, this experience was much different. I was still able to easily order by email with her but when I went to pick up I noticed that she had renovated (a good thing) and had a gentleman 'managing' the front. This lasagna was with a tomato based sauce unlike the first one which was a white sauce. Which was my choice. However, the lasagna itself was a bit gummy. And her prices had escalated. But based on my first experience I decided to try her again when my daughter was having her sweet 16 party at home with a bunch of her friends. So I ordered a huge spaghetti and meatballs dish because I thought it would be an easy dish. She charges based on how many people will be eating the dish. She asked if I would like to pick it up hot or heat up at home. I chose to heat up at home. It was very expensive and she gave it to me ice cold, almost frozen and told me to put it in the oven for half an hour. Of course, after that time it was not ready. It took more than 2 hours and it tasted awful. To prove it, none of the girls finished their plates and definitely no one had the leftovers. We threw the remainder out. So in summary she raised her prices and did not keep her original standards.

Terrible Food - just plain aweful!: I hired Christine Catering for my wedding and we were terribly dissapointed.
<br/><br/>I first contacted Christine Catering a year and a 1/2 ago for information and she was less than friendly and quite abrupt at times. However, when we tasted her food at an event we were quite impressed. So, we decided to hire her despite her lack of good customer service.
<br/><br/>When our wedding day arrived I was so excited about the food and told a lot of our guests how good the food was going to be. However, when I finally tasted the food, the chicken was dry and rubbery - not to mention it had no flavour. The salad was wilted and had obviously been made much too far in advance and left to sit with the vinaigrette on it. The seasoning was completely lacking on the chicken, but the pasta dish we had was completely over salted to the point I had to spit it out into my napkin.
<br/><br/>The worst part of the whole fiasco is that many of our guests came up to me later in the evening and expressed how bad the meal was and that we should request some of our money back from Christine Catering.
<br/><br/>When I approached the owner, Christine herself, about how bad the food was. She was totally dismissive and refused to listen to anything my husband and I said. She totally would not admit than anything could have been wrong and totally refused to listed to us.
<br/><br/>Do yourself and huge favour and stay far far away from Christine Catering!!!

Do not use this caterer: I visited Christine catering at their cafe in Port Moody to inquire about hiring her to cater a retirement party. I was immediately a little put off by the overall lack of ambiance, how old everything looked and how unorganized and messy the cafe was. However, I dedided that I shouldn't judge a book by it's cover and inquired further.
<br/><br/>I was helped by a friendly gentleman, but when I started asking more specific questions he said he would need to consult the owner, Christine. He dissapeard into the back, and then I started to hear some bickering and arguing coming from the back, then Christine appeared. Before I could ask her any questions, she abruptly tells me that she "doesn't have time to deal with me" and to email her for information.
<br/><br/>I left the cafe quite dissapointed with the service I recieved, but decided to email Christine to see what her rates were like anyhow. When she emailed me back, I was shocked at how inflated her prices were and how many "can't do's" and conditions her email consisted of.
<br/><br/>Needless to say I would never recommend this caterer to anyone.
