Booked for Birthday party

Chef Jon Gillham is an excellent communicator who helped with menu choice guidance for adults and suitable adjustments/adaptation for children in planning annd preparing our special lunch party celebrating my husband’s 80th birthday. This took place over the Easter weekend and I booked him early. His communication by email, and later by phone, was prompt, friendly, and reassuring. He cooked a delicious three course meal for 11 adults and 5 children that was serve served by his wife. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, each course complementing the next. All aspects of the meal went according to plan, as did his thorough clean up afterwards. Jon is prepared for any eventuality and he has a calm, professional, friendly presence. I recommend Jon Gillham whole heartedly.

Booked for Hen party

Chef Eugen made our event for my sisters hen do so special. He was ever so professional and the food was superb. Everything was excellently presented, tasted absolutely delicious and the portion sizes were fabulous! He left our property clean and tidy as if he was never there. Would highly recommend Chef Eugen to any event. Will most certainly call on his expertise in the kitchen again!

Booked for Hen party

Greg arrived promptly, set up smoothly without impacting the party and brought everything himself. The food was gorgeous and he even managed to cater for two pregnant women and one gluten free. He was so friendly and when we had finished, he cleaned up - it was like no one had been there! Thanks for making my friends hen so special.

Booked for Anniversary

Kris and Harry were fantastic! Our special anniversary dinner was made extra special by adding the cocktails and canapes. We were so impressed by the service and the great value for money that we will ensure to continue to use this company in the future for small and big events. Keep up the hard work!

Booked for Birthday party

Nick was brilliant. Friendly, flexible and great food. The whole process from booking to deciding the menu to the evening itself was smooth, enjoyable and stress free. My mum was thrilled with her surprise for her 70th birthday meal and I hope to use Nick’s services for more events in future. Why pay for restaurant overheads and babysitters when you can spend this money on having restaurant quality food served in your home, personalised to your event, tastes and any individual preferences? And the washing up is done for you too!

Booked for Birthday party

Thank you Riad, we had an excellent evening. The food was amazing, I’d recommend the cod & crab fishcake starter, actually I’d recommend everything. 2 weeks before our evening I had a good chat with our chef, Riad, he very quickly understood exactly what I was after & had perfect suggestions, so my menu was perfect for me & my guests, giving us a choice of 2 starters, 2 mains & 2 puds. I would definitely use Zach Jaxon events again, worth every penny.

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.

Exotic Christmas - Let us Serve you Turkey or Beef Cooked the Asian Way

5.0(4 reviews)

• 7 bookings

This four-course menu is designed to make your Christmas more special and deliciously different from your typical Christmas dinner. We will incorporate turkey instead of other meat and beansprouts cooked with more Asian flavours. We will set up the table with Christmas crackers and decorations. The dishes I created are made using the finest ingredients and I try to use Kentish meat and vegetables locally sourced.
