Not only is Joe a fantastic cook, he’s got a great passion for elevating others. It’s an honour to enjoy his excellence in cuisine, passion for teaching, and his punchy brand of head-chef humour!

“Be different catering provided the delicious food for my sons First Communion. What a fantastic choice of hot and cold fresh food with a professional friendly service from Joe and his team. The pavlova and meringues were exceptional. Something that we won’t forget and will most definitely order from again. Thanks to you both”

“Ordered for a kids birthday party to cater to everyone, was nervous this was maybe too small an event but . Joe was amazing with me explaining all my options, the amazing selections and genuine recommendations for the occasion. Delivery was perfect and easy, on time, beautifully prepared and packed, easy heating instructions and Joe was lovely and sorted everything while I was busy dealing with everything else. The food itself was delicious, everyone mentioned the fact it was obviously hand made from scratch and tasty and definitely worth its cost, not only for the ease of the day but also for the amazing food and choice we had. Will 100% use again and so glad we had a bit left to take home and heat up later! Thanks so much!”

“Joe Fagan, Head Chef and owner at Be Different Catering. We recently had a small family get together and I asked Joe to provide burgers etc for out barbeque. Joe went out of his way to provide even though we only able to give short notice. He even put up with delivering on a Saturday morning despite having to deal with a heavy traffic jam on the motorway. Joe's burgers already have a great reputation for being the best. This time they were the best ever and everybody loved them so much that they ate too much and asked to take the rest waway in a doggy bag! You might think "its just a burger". But it is more than that when it makes everybody happy! Brilliant Joe, Well done! Be Different Catering are THE BEST Catering Service”
