Testimonials

Really made our event with their catering!! Glad I had extra because everyone wanted seconds. And don’t get me started on that balsamic vinaigrette, what do y’all put in that cause boy it’s addictive!! Loved the little gift of bamboo straws with the order too. Absolutely adorable. Amazing packaging, delicious food, and sustainable practices. Definitely will have to place another order soon!!

Basil Tree has been catering for me for years. Love the quality of the product, presentation, and the taste. From boxed lunches to major events, the staff is creative in suggesting ways to serve our guests and make it memorable. They have their own delivery person which I tend to lean towards because they always deliver on time. Thank you Basil Tree!

LOVED this food so much!!  I couldn’t get enough – best catering I’ve ever had. I am dairy free so I sometimes struggle with catered meals – they were super inclusive writing “dairy free” or “gluten free” on labels which allowed me to relax and enjoy my meal. I even took some extra for leftovers – it was that good!

Your food was delicious and wonderful and portioned just right. Ordering and working with you was so easy. Delivery was prompt, professional and everything was fresh or chilled or however exactly it needed to be. You were a pleasure to work with.  Thank you so much.

We have a monthly lunch for 300 people. When plans with another caterer fell through about two weeks before the event, I got in touch with Basil Tree and they were fantastic. (They) provided me with three different quotes so I could compare serving sizes, prices, etc. in order to pick the best option for our group.  Leading up to the event, they were very responsive about any additional questions and modifications to the order.

Once again, we had an amazing experience with Basil Tree.  I would like to share with you the reason for ordering – Foundation Medicine is officially participating in the Boston Pride Parade. (The) team was so grateful for the reach out (about supporting the LGBT community) and for the exceptional food.  We killed it. The bin for returning serving ware is just the icing on the cake. You have truly set Basil Tree apart from the many catering organizations that we engage.

First time using Basil Tree Catering and they were top notch! With my multiple food orders over a three day conference, their staff was helpful in recommending the type of food, quantity, suggesting where to reduce or add perfectly. Their menu lists ingredients as well as indicates V / VG / GF / DF which was beyond helpful feeding such a large group. Delivery is by their own vehicles and staff so that you are not dependent on a separate delivery service. Can’t thank them enough for their expertise, fresh quality food and would highly recommend Basil Tree Catering.

We love that it is possible to support a local business and get fresh/healthy food served in a sustainable manner all at the same time.

As an event planner, I am constantly working with different catering companies in the area and around Boston. Basil Tree is definitely up in the top 5 of my absolute favorites. I usually get their boxed lunches. Their food is delicious, packaged clearly with a label in a paper, green-friendly but sturdy box, with paper goods. They arrive on time, and will call if they expect a traffic delay. The office staff is very reachable and helpful. Their prices are reasonable given the quality of their food, set-up, and service.

Basil Tree is the most accommodating, convenient, and tasty catering service our company has worked with. Some highlights of their services are their options for various dietary restrictions, and their willingness to deliver straight to our Boston office. Most importantly, their house-made granola is to die for!

I really appreciate this find, because I can order the business day before, the menu has so much to choose from, so I can order it often (as we can afford it) and no one is sick of it.
