Booked for Birthday party

The team attended for a birthday party and catered for 80-90 guests. all of our guests commented on how nice the pizzas were. We were really pleased with the efficiency of this company and would definitely recommend.

Booked for Wedding

We hired Vines Pizza Shack to serve lunch to our wedding guests at our croft in the Highlands of Scotland. Really impressed with the Pizza's, lots of comments from wedding guests about how delicious they were. The vegan ones were also delicious. We had a little complication with admin, which was quickly resolved with help from Poptop. The horse box wasn't in the best condition and we had to help tow it onto the road. But great staff and so glad they could make it to our remote location in the Highlands. Overall a great experience. I would definitely recommend them for other events.

Booked for Celebration

Great vendor, arrived promptly and set up with no fuss, coped with extra demand due to another vendor not turning up. Food was cooked fresh and was a high quality. Staff are polite, responsive and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend!!

Booked for Corporate Function

Goujon Monkey smashed it out the park. They served great food to 70 ravenous adolescents and every single person there raved about the quality of the burgers. Lots of sad faces when the food ran out. Thank you!

Booked for Corporate Function

Such a great experience - Debbie & co confirmed what time we wanted to start serving food then arrived and set everything up in time for that, and their setup made queuing and choosing your food really easy. They didn't need a power source as everything was BBQ'ed, and it was DELICIOUS! Lots of choice (though most people went for some of everything!), dietary requirements (veggie, vegan and Halal) were all well catered for and absolutely everything was provided - plates (actually boxes, for ease of carrying) cutlery, napkins, condiments, salads, sauces and masses of amazing food. Many people came up to me (the party organiser) during the event to say how great the food was, and some people even took boxes of leftovers home - one person said the curried mutton was the best thing about the entire party! We'd book them again without hesitation - everything was hot, fresh, full of flavour and just a bit different from a standard British BBQ :)

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.

About supplier

Our Retro Rocket It was built as a food truck but before I bought it it was a sausage van. We had to change all sorts of equipment. I've always wanted to do crepes for some reason, who doesn't love a crepe?
