    Timothy S Hopkins is amazing! We hired Tim to cater our daughter’s wedding. The food was exceptional. Their hors d’oeuvres are second to none. In fact, they were so good, we had trouble getting our guests seated for dinner. They also enjoyed a wonderful salad and entree, and then a delightful dessert buffet. Our guests commented on the catering – the food and presentation. I hope I get to choose the caterer for our son’s wedding. I wouldn’t think of going anywhere else.

    Timothy S. Hopkins catering is the “best”. They catered our son’s rehearsal dinner and everything was superb. They are a delight to work with, professional, friendly and the food was to die for. Could not have been happier with their service.

    We had a surprise 50th birthday party for one of our employees. Timothy S. Hopkins Catering were awesome. They gave us a wonderful menu and assisted with setting up at a different location. Their staff were fun, pleasant and ensure everyone were trying a little bit of everything on the menu. Best part, the staff remembered that one of our guest was severely allergic to shell fish and ensure that they didn’t cross contaminate any food. :)

    Timothy S. Hopkins is quite simply, the best! We have used him for several parties, we have been to many events catered by him, hard to find a comparison. Staff is very professional, attentive and fun to be around.
    I hear he’s up for an Emmy….

    Tim Hopkins Catering is excellent. There is no pretense. There are all best efforts to work with the client so that the event is unique and not cookie cutter. The staff is attentive but not overbearing.

    Highly recommended

    Periwinkles Food Shoppe in Salem is my choice!!!
    When teacher appreciation comes around each year, the teachers who I’m ordering lunch for always ask the same question~ Are you ordering that broccoli salad from Periwinkles??
    Great high quality food at reasonable prices. Try it out. You won’t be disappointed!!!

    Tim Hopkins Catering is by far the most creative caterer on the North Shore with an incredible attention to detail. He knows what you want for your party before you do. He kicks butt at the grill and makes you swoon with his orgasmic, inventive hors d’oeuvres. His thick, smoked, crispy bacon with chunks of cheddar cheese makes you feel like you have died and gone to heaven. Cholesterol drugs mandatory for that appetizer.

    He is also one of the nicest guys around. Gets along with everyone and has a fun and professional staff!

    Sandrino’s Best of Thymes Catering in North Andover is by the FAR our number one choice!

    Rita did an outstanding job at our milestone birthday party.
    Rita and her staff worked very well together and allowed us to really enjoy our guests. Rita truly enjoys what she does and it shows in the quality of her food and service.
    I had many compliments from my guests about how delicious the food was! I would highly recommend Sandrino’s Best of Thymes Catering….LOOK NO FURTHER!

    Tim Hopkins Catering is an absolutely outstanding catering company. Their food is world class–and I have eaten in many restaurants in New York, London and all over France and Italy. It is delicious and beautifully presented and their menu very imaginative. Their staff is courteous and efficient.

    When my daughter and my niece got married on back to back weekends in Manchester recently, Tim Hopkins catered 7 events for our family in 12 days for up to 140 people. There was not one hitch in all these events and the food was universally praised. Bravo!

    I had first experienced Tim Hopkins’ food at a graduation party and then hired Tim and his crew to provide the catering services for a brunch at our home the morning after our daughter’s wedding in Andover. The food was sophisticated and superb and the staff efficient and incredibly pleasant. In fact the entire event was a wonderful culinary experience and a fitting closure to a fabulous and happy week-end.

    Duckworth Beach Gourmet is all about the food. Their food is way above the quality of other caterers. Why else would the restaurant get a 29 in Zagat? They are all about service as well. Matt and John are some of the nicest people you will ever meet.

    Sandrino’s Catering Best of Thymes in North Andover. The food is absolutely phenomenal and their excellent customer service is tough to beat. This is one catering company that definitely has it figured out.

    Probably one of the best on the North Shore of Boston.
    They catered an engagement party December ’08 for us. Everyone
    raved and that includes a chef from Atlanta, GA who has her own
    catering company. They helped us create an hors d’oeurve menu that was creative and fresh. No one left hungry….exactly the right amount!
    Professional staff, efficient, pleasant and unobtrusive,
    Many friends have had them cater for their affair since then.
