Booked for Private party

Easily the cherry on top of our event. We had 100+ people who all enjoyed these delicious waffles! A very professional & smart outfit, who we will definitely be contacting next year! Thank you so much, everyone was full of praise for you!

Mr. Riyaz Merali12 Aug 2021

Booked for Other Event

Absolutely amazing value for money. The food was piping hot when served, there was also a very generous portion given. The choice of beef, turkey or pork and apple sausages was on our menu, but you could have a little of each if you liked. There were also bread baps that you could have with your roast or with just meat/sausages. Nothing was too much trouble. All condiments were also provided. Disposable cartons with lids for service to ensure food remained hot whilst taking back to your table. The staff from KK Catering bent over backwards to ensure everyone received their meals quickly. They were friendly, jolly and provided us with an excellent service for our special celebratory event. Thankyou so much, we will most definitely be coming to you again.

About supplier

Barbecuing has always been a big part of my life whilst I was growing up and then in early 2020 I needed a hobby to keep myself sane (like many of us), so I purchased my first smoker. Since then I have gone on to do takeaway nights in my local village, corporate events & pop-ups at local brewery's.
