Booked for Birthday party for kids

Thank you to Michael at Blooming Dough for a great event on 31st May. Michael was very friendly and professional and clearly very passionate about pizza! The pizzas were delicious and a real crowd pleaser, everyone from the age of 5 to 75 loved them. Great base and really tasty toppings, cooked to perfection. Even the pizza afficionados were impressed! I'd highly recommend and we would definitely book Blooming Dough again.

Booked for Birthday party

I had this as a predominately a veggie option, however it proved to be more popular than the meat options. Though the preparation meant that people had to wait for their food to be made , people were more than happy to wait. I had very positive feedback from all of my guests

Booked for Wedding

The pizza van at our wedding went down an absolute storm and the quality of the pizza was incredible. The staff were great and were tackling a large number of hungry people. The van itself also looks the part and completed the look to our rustic do it yourself wedding. I would definitely recommend to others. My only grumble would be that we weren't sure how many pizzas were actually ordered. It would have been nice to have been able to use up everything that we had payed for because people would have definitely eaten them.

Booked for Private party

Oggies was excellent, Very friendly and great service from the guys! How ever poptop actually did not send then the correct details of my booking. I had requested and paid for extra per person to supply a buffet of breads and salads along side the pizzas however this information was not past on correctly to oggies and they were only aware of just serving pizza. This left less food on offer for my guest so im not sure exactly how this happened. In future i would contact companies directly and not use the poptop service as they would have taken a percentage of my booking still.

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?
