Booked for Birthday party

I ordered a grazing table for my wife's surprise 40th birthday celebrations. The food was fantastic and set up on display beautifully, with the guest all commenting on how nice everything was. The range of options was great, catering for all and giving lots of choice and option. Excellent communication was maintained in a very friendly, helpful and yet professional way. Thank you so much!

Booked for Birthday party

I had another afternoon tea delivery yesterday for my Mum’s birthday. The communication was excellent from booking to delivery and were again very accommodating to all our tastes. The afternoon tea itself was absolutely delicious, all freshly made and was enjoyed very much by us all. We particularly loved the luxury cheesecake that was delivered too, it looked fantastic, tasted amazing and was a great addition to our buffet. I would highly recommend this company, thanks again.

Booked for Private party

We booked Spice it Up to cater for 150 guests who are mostly over 50. The feedback from them was outstanding with lots commenting that it was the best commercial BBQ they had ever had. We were delighted with the quality and quantity of the food , including puddings. The team were fantastic. They were professional, really friendly and hard working. They are a well oiled machine!! We shall definitely use them again if we need a BBQ for lots of people and we can totally recommend them.

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.
