Booked for Birthday party

Matei prepared and served with Maria the 6 Course Italian menu for my 60th Birthday party at the Castle, Castle Eden. Everybody thoroughly enjoyed the food and remarked on how good it was, particularly the pasta dish... Well done Matei and Maria.

Booked for Hen party

I booked Liam for an 11 person hen do, and it was fantastic! He brought a bar, glasses, all the alcohol, and provided a really great service- he was happy to take the evening at whatever pace we wanted, so we didn’t feel rushed or like he wanted to be done by a specific time. Liam was very chatty and outgoing, and made the whole evening a massive success. I would definitely book Liam again, and have already recommended him to some friends. Thanks Liam!

Booked for Other Event

We had very high expectations for Jason & “Shirley” but were delighted by how much they exceeded them. Super friendly and accommodating service. And excellent coffee and snacks! We cannot recommend Oslar Coffee enough. Will definitely use them again.

Booked for Corporate Function

Sebi and the Street Dough team were amazing and professional, their pizza was well received by everyone at the event and they made allowances for vegan and gluten free options, which was really cool.

Booked for Hen party

"Jonathan was really entertaining and knew his stuff. He coped with us rowdy ladies brilliantly and helped to make my friend’s hen do memorable. Only slight downside was that Jonathan arrived a little later than planned which meant we started a little late. Having said that, the house is a little tricky to find so that could have something to do with it!!! Would definitely recommend Pop Up Bars got your event!"

Booked for Birthday party

"A few weeks before my event, I changed the date and something on the menu - at no fuss from the Mccallas. From the very beginning contact was easy and regular, payments were straight forward and on the day - I was able to relax and know that guests were in for a treat - not only with the taste of the food, but the service, from the Mccallas, kitchen staff and the waiting staff. I have had many people ask about the caterers since the event and I will be sure to use them again! Thank you!"
