Booked for Private party

Superb value, Lucas is a great chef with lovely character. He's very friendly and fitted in with our group seamlessly - both in terms of the catering and his personality. Would absolutely love to use his services again and would highly recommend him 🙏🏻

Booked for Birthday party

The chef provided good quality food and a friendly service. We had a five course meal and the mains were much larger portions than expected. Chef arrived on time and the five courses were served on time and in good sequence. It should be noted that you are hiring a chef and not a catering company so once the final course is brought to the table the chef will leave. You will therefore be left with quite a lot of clearing up to do. Final course plates and cutlery, wine glasses, coffee and all the table ware. The quotation process did not work well. The initial quotation failed to mention that a variation in the main menu choice would result in extra costs and the requirement for a chef if more than eight persons were attending the experience. The chef did not know anything about the discount applied on the initial quotation. The communication between supplier and Poptop definitely needs improvement to avoid ‘surprises’ between original and final quotations!
