The meal is carefully discussed with the client beforehand, and the client’s budget, food requirements and tastes are considered and adhered to. One of Jane’s specialties is her “moveable feast” where a large number of guests can circulate as they are served with original small meals presented and prepared in unusual containers with individual prongs or cutlery. By using Jane Green Catering the client is always assured of a good party. Guests mingle and socialize, and they are able to pick and choose what they want to eat.

"Thank you!"
Jane, Your food was fabulous, your staff were great, you were just brilliant and we couldn't have chosen a better caterer for our wedding. Compliments all round. Many thanks." Barbora Tellinger, Wedding Catering, 24 March 2017
"A phenomenal success"
"Thank you very much for the time and effort put in to making sure the catering was such a phenomenal success at the Rolls-Royce Black Badge launch at Kyalami this weekend. As always, we received numerous compliments about the food and I was highly impressed at how immaculate the harvest station was kept at all times. Not once did I see a platter looking empty or the station looking untidy or short of plates etc. As you know, the MD as well as the Marketing Manager for Middle East and Africa were highly impressed with the food quality and standard – in fact I think Julia wants to steal you for Dubai ; )
It is always such a pleasure working with you and takes a huge stress off my shoulders because I know I don’t even have to worry about that element of my event. I hope you get some rest before your next event. Once again thank you! " Colleen Daytona, Rolls-Royce Black Badge Event , 6 February 2017

"You are my champion of chefs."
"Huge accolade to Jane for catering for my birthday in the bush in Swaziland - two dinners (one for 28, the other for 35 people) plus a champagne breakfast for 28. Jane was cool, calm and collected whilst turning out wonderful dish after wonderful dish, despite the gas oven playing up and a very limited electricity supply. Well done Jane and thank you a million times!!! Everyone was blown away. You are my champion of chefs." Lynda van Niekerk, Ninety North Guest House, Johannesburg. 31 August 2016
