Booked for Birthday party

Delicious food and loads of it for the money paid. Simon was very amenable and worked with me on various tweaks to the standard dishes being offered. The only minor complaint I have is trying to get hold of Simon sometimes proved difficult.

The Afternoon tea was delicious 😊 it was just disappointing that it arrived late in the day when I had paid for it to be delivered in the morning.

Booked for Birthday party

"If 5 is the highest, then I am definitely giving a 5 - plus more! R&G Banquets were the absolute best. They turned up bang on time, they looked the part and were truly professional and friendly at the same time. The canapés we ordered were fantastic. Everyone commented on how tasty they were and there seemed to be trays and trays of them circulating. Russell and his team really went to a lot of trouble and worked in a very small kitchen but produced top notch food which looked and tasted superb. I can honestly say that they made the party and I will definitely be using them again and recommending them to everyone I know! They were absolutely fantastic and I can't recommend them enough! Jude and Andy Brittain"

How about a cold buffet? Freshly carved meats, with a delicious variety of salads, including my very own "red salad"! This is a mixture of watermelon, sundried tomatoes, red peppers, baby vine tomatoes with a secret ingredient! Only the freshest ingredients are used. This menu is fairly adaptable so if there is something special you wish to add, just ask!
