Booked for Hen party

Thank you sooo much Chef Pat for catering my best friends hen party on Friday! Not only did you step in and help us out last minute, you did so at such a reasonable price. You created exactly what we requested, and every single course tasted delicious! All 17 of us loved the food, and you and your partner were a pleasure to work with. Thank you once again!

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
