Harry Raynor catered for our family of 10 for an Anniversary meal & it was AMAZING! Everything was just perfect - the skill, professionalism & all exactly as described - not to mention the fabulous food! He introduced each course, telling us about the ingredients & our whole family of 3 generations enjoyed their choices & clearly it was the best meal they’d ever had! Such a treat!

Another excellent private chef experience from Pop top! This time it was for my mum’s surprise 70th birthday treat. There was zero fuss, incredible professionalism and brilliant food. Our chef Ryan was superb and mum was suitably surprised and impressed. Would definitely book again.

Jonathan was very friendly, professional and produced great food. The only issue was that he said he had only been told about the vegan one day before the dinner party so hadn’t had time to get all the ingredients for the vegan’s meal eg he served her strawberries for dessert. This was a little disappointing but not his fault.

Chef Fabio was wonderful. We were happy that he engaged with us but allowed us to have our party. The food was served on time and it was delicious. It looked so good too. I must admit I’ll be doing this again sometime soon.

It was a fantastic evening! My wife loved the surprise and we really enjoyed the food prepared by Richie. It was also a pleasure getting to know Richie, too! Would definitely recommend him.

Incredible experience. Luis is an amazing chef, he judged our situation perfectly and acted professionally. I could not have spent my money on anything better.

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.
