Thank you Kye for doing the most delicious burgers and fries for our wedding! They were an absolute hit with our guests and nothing short of AMAZING! And despite a venue change and rain on the day, Kye was so helpful and supportive through everything! Thank you once again!

I lost count of the number of people who told me the beef rending was the best they’d ever tasted. Great curries, lovely people. A true hit. Thank you very much

Lewis Hartman4 Sep 2021

All ~150 attendees of the event greatly enjoyed all the food provided, so much so that the vast majority had seconds or even thirds! Professional, yet friendly staff, well-prepared food and a quality stall. Well worth the price.

Emma Richardson30 Aug 2020

Jolly Hucksters were the perfect bar for our wedding. They were flexible, helpful, kind and helped to bring the personal touch to our wedding that we were after. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them for future events.

Absolutely fabulous sandwiches and cakes all presented in a lovely hand tied box! Superb won’t be the last time I have these! Lovely

Arwen Cloos9 May 2018

I am really happy with the service and food we got from the Strathearn Food Company. We had a celebration for 210 people, everything was ready on time, well organized and the fish was delicious!! Will book them again for sure.

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.
