Booked for Birthday party

Chef Harry catered for our family gathering. He was amazing and his knowledge and personality were superb. He pays attention to tiny details to ensure that his dishes are cooked to perfection and meticulously presented. He was friendly and calm and the food was excellent and enjoyed by everyone. A true professional and a pleasure to talk to!

Booked for Anniversary

Tatjana and her assistant treated me and my family to a wonderful meal for our 50th Wedding Anniversary.Arrived on time, delicious food served on time and kitchen left spotless all with no fuss. I'd recommend Tatjana if you are having a celebratory meal and don't fancy the stress of cooking for yourself.

Booked for Hen party

Nina did a fantastic job catering for a hen weekend. We had a delicious afternoon tea on the Friday and an amazing BBQ on the Saturday. The food and service were absolutely fantastic and everyone said it really made the weekend extra special! I can wholly recommend Devon Cooks!

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.
