Booked for Birthday party

Castlemoor Farm supplied everyone at my party with delicious hot roast pork sandwiches filled with apple sauce and stuffing. After everyone was served, the guys hung around for a bit in case anyone wanted seconds, and they did, then cleared away leaving the leftovers for later. I would definitely use and recommend Castlemoor Farm again. I would like to thank the team for an enjoyable evening.

100% recommend Daryl and Joanna from On the go Foods. Fantastic addition to our Festival Party. Arrived in plenty of time and cooked all the food in the Food van. Quality of food was amazing. Everyone at the party thoroughly enjoyed it. Lovely people too. Thank you for helping make my daughter's 21st Festival party a huge success!

Booked for Celebration

I booked Chef Artan for my parents and four of their friends as a surprise after a difficult few months of lockdown. I found Chef Artan very easy to communicate with when it came to organizing the event. He was extremely helpful and accommodating and quick to reply to any of my questions. My parents and their friends were delighted with their evening. They said the food was wonderful and there was lots of it so they get to enjoy leftovers too. The star of the show was the steak cooked to order and everyone’s preference was served to perfection. They also said Chef Artan is a wonderful host! This is a great way to do something special during covid times when everyone needs a pick me up. We will definitely book Chef Artan again, we just wish we’d thought to do this sooner!

Booked for Birthday party

The Palate Box provided everything we wanted for the most fantastic birthday party. Everyone commented on how wonderful the food was - we went for the ribeye, sea bass Niçoise salad and the halloumi option. Rob was kind enough to cater for both vegan and gluten free guests. The desserts were to die for - not a crumb was left! Rob provided all the crockery and cutlery and cleared everything up afterwards - totally stress-free for us! You will not be disappointed if you book the Palate Box. Thanks so very much, Rob - you were just brilliant!

Booked for Birthday party

"Piggy Piggy Hog Roast catered for our recent garden party. We opted for the £495 option, basically 150 cobs and for an extra £50 we added pork 50 sausages and hotdog rolls to cater for the children and fussy eaters. Everyone was delighted with the food, the staff were absolutely lovely and we’d recommend them and use them again in a heartbeat. We had 85 guests, had pork and sausages left over."

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.
