Terrible delivery experience. Don’t want to help just take more of your money!

Customer service is awful. On delivery the drivers then refused to take the stairs as they said it was a 4 man job even after we stated there was stairs the day before. We said to the driver no problem leave it downstairs they insisted no it’s not a problem someone will come back next day and bring up the stairs so we agreed next day was fine. We then get a call from the company saying it’s a fee or £300 to bring 4 man out or even if we want it re delivered downstairs we have to now pay a extra fee of £100. Ridiculous company and customer service was no help just want the money or no help

I emailed Jemma with a list of items for quoting to refurbish a commercial kitchen. Within 1 hour she came back with a competitive quote and we are now waiting on our client to make the choice. I would be happy to recommend Jemma she was very pleasant and did as I asked swiftly. 👏🏼👏🏼

My experience of dealing with Catering…

My experience of dealing with Catering Appliance has been excellent in every aspect of purchasing new appliances and furniture. Jemma was super responsive and kept me fully informed during the whole process I chose to go the leasing route and Jemma connected me with Andy at Oakfield Leasing who made the process simple and straightforward. I would have no hesitation in recommending Catering Appliance.

On another level .....

After having some extremely serious issues with Adexa and ending up in court I was really dubious about ordering more items online. Catering Appliance are on a totally different level. Items arrive super quick. I did have a damaged item which they swiftly attended to. Customer service have been polite and pleasant and very courteous. Thank you Catering Appliance for a totally different and pleasant experience.

Don’t bother, they don’t have the stock and they take your money anyway

Ordered products almost 2 months, money taken but it’s been delayed again and again. I’ve requested a refund since I found it it will be delayed again and was advised they will have to cancel their order before I can get a refund back. Shocking…. They basically taken my money for over 2 months, no stock arrive and now delaying refund again… let’s see if I will get a refund.

Dear Joyce, I am sorry to hear of your situation, unfortunately as some of our products are delivered directly from our manufacturers delays can be out of our control. I have investigated and can see you were refunded on the 25th March. I am hoping the case has been resolved. Please contact us directly if not and accept our apologies again.

Great company

Great company ! Very reliable, good pricing, great payment option with Iwoca - There are so many scam companies in this kitchen supply market, so more than happy to see a great company like Catering appliances. Highly recommended

I ordered a part for my lincat water boiler at a cost of £4. imagine my surprise to be charged £20 for the part including " handling and shipping" due to the fact that they helpfully included an out of date catalogue in the parcel to add to the weight.

Hello and thank you for your review. I am very concerned to hear this. We have a standard fee for Spare Parts and this is clearly stated on the website. No additional fees would be added irrespective of the weight of the parcel. If you could please advise the order reference I will look into this immediately.

Hello and thank you for your review. We are sorry that you feel that we do not care. This is not our intention. I have looked at the details of your order and we did attempt delivery on 3 occasions and proof of the failed deliveries were sent.
