Lukasz prepared gyros for my 30th birthday party and it was incredible. All of the guests absolutely loved it. The portions were big and the tzatziki was delicious! Lukasz and I spoke a couple of times before the event and he made sure to understand certain guests requirements. He set up on the day with no hassle at all and was ready to serve guests before the scheduled time. I would definitely recommend Lukasz and will be using him again in future!

Everyone was raving about these pizzas, I can't say enough good things about Maestros. They made sure that everyone was fed, (we were 100 people) and was so patient and friendly. They turned up early and were so professional. The pizzas were super delicious. Would recommend for any party you are having.

Easy ordering and good communication with the seller. Fab to see photos of food before delivery, on time, to birthday girl. I'm told the food was scrummy and plentiful. Would definitely recommend and use Rustique again.
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.

The Guide to Christmas Catering in Bristol
As December arrives, Bristol transforms into a festive wonderland. Fairy lights twinkle across Clifton’s grand terraces, the Broadmead Christmas Market buzzes with shoppers, and the scent of mulled cider and cinnamon fills the air. From the cosy pubs of Southville to the creative hubs of Stokes Croft, the city unites communities to celebrate the season.
With calendars filling up, it’s no surprise that more Bristolians are hiring Christmas caterers. Whether it’s an intimate gathering at home, a corporate party, or a community lunch, professional catering removes the pressure and lets everyone — especially the host — enjoy the celebration.
Let a Professional Christmas Caterer Handle the Feast
Planning a festive get-together sounds wonderful — until the reality of preparation sinks in. Juggling shopping lists, dietary needs, cooking times, and the inevitable mountain of washing up can quickly turn excitement into stress.
A Christmas caterer allows you to reclaim your event. They handle the menu planning, food preparation, and timely service, and many also provide staff and equipment. From elegant dinners in Redland to lively student parties in Southville, hiring a caterer ensures the host can relax and mingle with guests.
Professionals are also experts at managing logistics. They seamlessly handle dietary requirements, adapt to kitchen limitations, and ensure everything runs to schedule. You won’t have to wonder if the turkey is cooked or what to serve your vegan cousin — it’s all taken care of.
Catering for Homes, Offices, and Halls
Your choice of venue will influence your catering needs. A good caterer will know how to adapt to different spaces.
At Home
For gatherings in a flat or house, caterers can be incredibly flexible. They might use your kitchen for final preparations or bring food that's ready to serve. Grazing platters and buffets work well where space is limited.
Office Parties
If you're hosting at your workplace, you'll need a caterer who is self-sufficient. Canapés and buffets are popular choices that minimise disruption. For a more casual and memorable event, consider a street food van serving pizzas or burgers — especially if you have access to an outdoor space or car park.
Hired Venues & Community Halls
These spaces often have dedicated kitchen facilities for plated meals or hot buffets. If the venue has suitable outdoor space, a street food van can be a fantastic, informal option for larger parties, offering everything from festive wraps to gourmet burgers. Always confirm with the venue that external caterers and vans are permitted.
