Booked for Hen party

The food was a great success. Everyone said how much the enjoyed it! My husband who isn't normally a burger fan was really impressed. The guys were very friendly and professional. I have no hesitation in recommending them for any event.

Booked for Wedding

We were looking for something hearty for breakfast for the morning after my mum's wedding and wow did we find it! Charlie and his sister (I am so sorry, I can't remember her name) battled against the wind to serve the most amazing breakfast burgers. We had a number of Americans in our party who were suitably impressed too. Charlie's responsiveness and understanding of what it was we were after were second to none. We can't recommend them highly enough - outstanding food, excellent service. Five stars doesn't seem enough - thank you both.

Booked for Corporate Function

We had a great event hosted by Rolling Burritos, a friendly service from start to finish and every employee complimented the food on the day which was very tasty and filling! Would highly recommend them.

Booked for Wedding

Fantastic Mac n Cheese with delicious toppings. We requested a topping that wasnt on the list too and it was no trouble at all for them. The guys that served us arrived early to set up and were very friendly and accomodating to our drunken wedding party. Would highly recommend.

Booked for Birthday party

Il Fuoco pizza was incredible! The nicest people you could work with, they did everything to make our event special. The guests and even children said it was the best pizza they’d ever tasted! Plus the van is small so can easily fit in difficult spaces. I highly recommend!

Booked for Corporate Function

"Wow, Debbie and the team were incredible. On a severely snowy day in March when many of our other vendors were struggling to turn up, they battled their way through the snow with no complaints and supplied hot delicious food in the bitter cold throughout. There were a variety of communication needs at this event but Debbie and the team took this in their stride and were professional, courteous and efficient throughout. We will certainly be using them again in the future as being able to cope so tremendously in such challenging circumstances, keeping staff and attendees well fed with delicious food, speaks to their absolute quality. Thank you so much Spice Ot Up Bar BQ; we couldn’t have done this event without you!"
