Stuart was fantastic and we can’t stop talking about how great the food was! Would highly recommend, and will try to rebook if we can.

Booked for Private party

Food was absolutely out of this world!!! Bang on time, plenty of gorgeous handmade cakes, scones and the more than plenty of fabulous sandwiches were delivered along with everything else you need for a wonderful afternoon tea. I need to know where you get your bread from Heather - it was so light and allowed the contents of the sandwich to shine without being too fat or heavy!!! Would happily recommend Heather at Treasure Trove again and again and again and Heather and her company will be our first port of call for ANY future occasions.

Booked for Birthday party

It is the first time we have ever had a personal chef come to our home. When we booked the event we had no idea where the chef comes from. I was quite concerned by the distance Chef Paul Williams-Allen had to travel to our home (2.5 hours each way). Having said that he couldn't have been upbeat, positive, cheerful and respectful. He made my wife's birthday a real pleasure. Not only was Paul a pleasure to meet, he is an excellent chef and his steaks were a delight and new experience with the stones. The whole experience was wonderful and it was so easy to book the event. We wouldn't hesitate to use poptop again and couldn't recommend Paul highly enough.
