Amazing food! Booked for canapes + food bowls for a 30th birthday party. It was easy to communicate with the team, great menu and they also happily accommodated for a vegan guest. The food was amazing with great portion sizes! Chefs were really professional and left the kitchen spotless!

Booked for Corporate Function

Couldn’t have asked for more. Dawn was in regular contact from the time I placed the order until it was delivered. She made a few changes to personalise our order and there was more than enough food. On top of all of that….the food was amazing.

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.
