Uliana Leshchenko7 Sep 2025

Booked for Birthday party

The catering was absolutely incredible. It wasn’t your typical boring buffet with sandwiches and sausage rolls – everything looked elegant and luxurious. The presentation was stunning, the way the food was arranged on the table was so tasteful and refined, and every single dish was beautifully prepared. And most importantly - it was delicious! All of our guests kept saying how amazing the food was. Honestly, we’re over the moon. I didn’t expect it to be this good, but it truly exceeded all expectations. Highly recommended!

Booked for Wedding

We booked the cluster kitchen to cater for our wedding near Peterborough on 29th June 2024 and it was an amazing service. On the day, Viraj and Pratiksha did a fantastic job of setting up the food and arrived exactly on time. All communications were very polite and helpful. The food itself was amazing with all of our guests saying how good it was, and there was plenty of food for everybody. We had three different options, all of which were vegan, and the quality of the food was exellent. I would recommend the cluster kitchen to anybody

Booked for Hen party

Paul was brilliant from start to finish. He was in touch a few times before the event to check in and ensure he had all the info required. Sadly, the weather didn’t hold out for us on the day but Paul worked through the rain and created some amazing food and provided a wonderful, friendly and professional service. I would highly recommend him! Thank you for doing such a fantastic job, you really helped to make the day special, you were brilliant, thank you!

Booked for Birthday party

I can’t rate them highly enough. Paul was very professional both in the lead up to. and the evening itself. We opted for a meal with the lava stones. The food was fabulous and exceeded our expectations. I can definitely recommend Paul and the lava stones to others. Paul cleaned everything up after the meal. It was a truly great evening for us all and an experience to remember.

Booked for Hen party

Absolutely fantastic afternoon tea delivery for my sister in-law’s hen party. The food was extremely fresh and really delicious! Also catered for all our dietary requirements. Everyone was extremely impressed with it and wouldn’t hesitate to order again. Thank you!

Kurt Max11 Jul 2020

Booked for Birthday party

Fantastic. Very very nice. We got to use our own afternoon tea cake stand. IT was very memorable and unique. We loved it. The only thing that could have been better is that the prosecco was delivered room temperature. Pre-chilled and brought in a cool bag would be preferable. But we really enjoyed it and recommend the experience. A perfect, memorable birthday treat.

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.
