Booked for Birthday party

Ed was able to deliver a special dinner at relatively quick notice. He was responsive, modified the menu for our dietary requirements and even baked a delicious birthday cake. He was incredibly polite, on time, super organized and zero drama, and left the kitchen spotless. He was so helpful throughout even during the planning… and he was great company to boot! He very clearly enjoys his job. Next time we have a private dinner I know exactly whom to call again!

Booked for Celebration

Amazing food! Absolutely perfect and Ed made adjustments to cater for everyone. I can’t recommend Fed by Ed highly enough. Not only was the food superb but Ed was extremely helpful in the planning, adaptable and able to fit around us as so that we could have a wonderful celebration meal, at home (after kids have gone to bed). Ed was professional, warm, polite and friendly and helped to make the evening as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. Would definitely hire again!

Booked for Private party

Hi, Mike from Gingernut catering was extremely efficient and his food was incredible. He was very reliable, friendly and got on with the job in hand. We had a very small kitchen and he was fantastic and professional. I would highly recommend.

Booked for Anniversary

Alistaire and the Simpli team provided a 3 course meal for 2 for an anniversary dinner during Coronavirus lockdown! From first contact Alistaire was approachable and helpful, and made some excellent menu suggestions. The booking and delivery process was straightforward. The meal itself was fantastic. The ingredients were high quality, beautifully presented and tasted amazing. I would be happy to receive a meal like that in a fine dining restaurant! Alistaire provided all the needed re-heating and plating instructions - and even I (with fairly poor cooking skills!) managed to serve a restaurant quality meal. We were also provided with some extras like a card and petit fours which made the meal extra special. I would highly recommend the Simpli team and would definitely use them again for our future catering needs!

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
