Booked for Birthday party

Romuald was brilliant, arrived with everything organised, food was fantastic and he catered for several different dietary requirements. He made it very easy to get everything sorted before the birthday meal, would definitely use his services again.

Booked for Celebration

Booked a private chef to celebrate a 60th Birthday. Easy process and communication good. Mike delivered an outstanding meal to celebrate. Choice of meals was good and our final choice was perfect. We would definitely book Mike again when the occasion arises. Value for money, good quality food superbly cooked by Mike

Booked for Hen party

The first Chef we booked let us down only a couple of months before the event which was really disappointing. However, lucky for us we managed to get Marcus. He was so organised, flexible and friendly from start to finish. He really couldn’t do enough and worked his socks off. Everyone was really impressed with Marcus and the food he provided. I would definitely recommend!

Booked for Private party

Just graze did an absolutely fantastic job catering for my sister in law to be's hen do this weekend. After being let down by another company, they couldn't have been more responsive to the many queries, dietary requirements and changes I had to make and we're so professional throughout. The food was fantastic and service on the day was top drawer. We couldn't have asked for anything more from them and thank you so much for making our weekend so special. Heather Twitchett

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.
