The guys were wonderful and we all enjoyed it. They fed over 100 people in a couple of hours providing a great range of delicious pizzas served in boxes which worked perfectly. All they needed was one plug socket. They were so nice and friendly too. Worth mentioning the gluten free pizzas must be ordered in advance and are an additional £5 each x

Stacey was very friendly and helpful in the run-up to the event. She kept in touch, and was flexible in terms of our specific requirements. Everyone loved the food on the night - it contributed very positively to a great evening. Lots of compliments!

Delicious, flavorsome food, Banana Leaf were very accommodating and flexible with their menu choices. I was hosting a family event and had a considerable number of children attending. Furthermore, I had a number of vegetarian guests and one very seriously dairy intolerant guest despite these hurdles Shahid was able to accommodate all these dietary requirements. Communication was excellent and all my queries were answered promptly. My guests and I found the food to be absolutely delicious and I recommend Shahid and his team whole heartedly. The only reason I haven’t awarded the full 5 stars is because set up was a little less smooth than I’d hoped for, but this was only a minor glitch and didn’t affect my or my guest’s enjoyment.

Rob and the team were fantastic! We set them the challenge of serving a 3 course sit-down dinner (including tea and coffees) for just under 100 people at a venue with no kitchen! Between us we came up with a menu that was a bit more exotic to your average wedding breakfast but also meant they didn’t have to hire too much equipment; having the converted horse box really helped with that too. We got all the orders in advance and made sure everyone knew what they had ordered on their place-name cards, and Rob knew the seating plan, ready for them to do their thing. With 10-seater tables having 5 serving staff worked really well; they were so quick at getting the food out, better than some of the poshest hotel-based weddings I’ve been too! And obviously the food was amazing! The home made mini mint-chocolate with the teas and coffees was an extra special touch as well. All our guests were raving about the food and how tasty it was, and impressed that it all came out of the little box parked out at the front! It looked and tasted amazing, I just wish I hadn’t chosen a corset-backed dress so I could squeeze more food in! In the end we really felt we had managed to get the best of both worlds: the traditional sit-down wedding breakfast but with some really interesting and tasty food, and we couldn’t have done it without The Pallet Box’s willingness to take on such a challenge! Thank you Rob and the team!

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.
