Booked for Celebration

Fantastic service from start to finish. I had been looking for a while for a catering service that would be suitable for the event that we had planned. However due to lockdowns and uncertainty we only had a short amount of notice. Chef Pat was so helpful, understanding and fast with the service provided. On the day of the event he arrived at site and set up the BBQ and prepared all of the food, side orders etc. He brought plates, cutlery and sauces with him. Everyone at the party was super satisfied with the food and the value for money was brilliant. The range of items on the menu was great and everyone was catered for. I would 100% use Chef Pat's services in the future. Chef Pat was very chatty and accommodating. We were made to feel comfortable and as though no request was too much trouble.

We were very happy with the lovely lunch. It all looked so well presented and everyone enjoyed the food especially the coronation chicken. We definitely will remember Little Piggies for our next family get together.

Booked for Wedding

I would have given a 5 rating. As the food was amazing and staff were very helpful. All the guests were commenting on how great the food was. The only reason for the 4 was that the caterers were due to arrive at the Venue at 6pm. They were travelling from Manchester. Food was to be served at 8pm. However by 7pm there was no sign of the caterers nor any communication to say they were running late or as to why. I rang the only number I had and was told they left Manchester at 4pm. The caterers finally rang back and said they were close. They arrived at the Venue at 7.15pm. Food was delayed by 30 minutes so not too bad. My only concern was if I hadn't rang would they have got in touch. I would whole heartedly recommend Zouk as the food and service was astounding. I will definitely use them again for any other functions.

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.
