Booked for Birthday party

From start to finish everything was fantastic. The company themselves were very helpful leading up to the event and were always on hand to answer any questions I had, and made sure everything went smoothly. Our Chef Jamie messaged me the day before to confirm arrival time, turned up on time, and ensured the evening was a memorable one. The food was amazing, but Jamie himself was also great and very engaging and added something to the night with his own personal charm and approach. Would definitely recommend

Booked for Birthday party

I liked being able to compare different caterers all in the same website. Selecting the caterer, choosing the menu, and making the deposit were all easily done.

Booked for Birthday party

Overall a lovely experience. Some of the dishes were not what I expected so that was a bit disappointing but overall a lovely experience and the chef was very professional and friendly. I chose too many dishes so would probably have left out the main course and just done starters canapés and desert. A recommendation to the chef would be to state exactly what is in each dish on the menu so the client knows what to expect.

Booked for Hen party

We booked the Flower Bar for a hen party on 2 April 2022 and had a really positive service. All the staff were very friendly and went the extra mile. It was very well organised, good value for money and we all absolutely loved it…I would definitely recommend it to anyone 😊

Booked for Celebration

Amazing. Edward was so responsive and the food was excellent - we had a dinner party for 9 and everyone loved the food and Edward explained all the courses, sourcing the ingredients and gave us a lesson on sous vide! Would highly recommend.

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.
