Booked for Christmas party

Thank you so much to Artan for the lovely and delicious dining experience. I reached out less than two weeks before the event about getting a 4 course meal in our building’s private dining room. The facilities require documentation for liability insurance, risk assessment, etc, and Artan was able to get these to me within 1-2 days. He was also able to accommodate our dietary restrictions (I’m pescatarian and wanted everyone else to have duck) and let me just say — I usually like to share but that tasty sea bass was all mine :D. Artan was super friendly and professional. We only had about 1.5-2 hours reserved and he was able to prepare all 4 courses for us. I will definitely consider reaching out again if we have events in the future, and plan to share this great experience with all of my neighbors as well!

Booked for Birthday party

Superb food and professional service. They were so helpful and quietly got on with their service. They helped make the night a complete success. Everybody loved the food. They left no trace that they’d been here. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Booked for Birthday party

Can’t thank Chef Eugen enough for his professional service and helpful assistant. He arrived on time which was a good distance from home and was fully prepared for his arrival. All of my friends enjoyed the taste, quality, and presentation of his food and the portions were great. Thanks for making my birthday special.

Booked for Other Event

I would like to let you know that the food delivered on 26th August for my event, by Food by Hope was exceptional, beautifully presented, extremely tasteful, with a lovely choice of dishes. Nick is also a very easy and pleasant person to deal with. We have used many caterers over the years, and he is one of the best.

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.
