Booked for Celebration

Kash and his colleague recently catered for my wife’s 50th birthday. They were highly professional and courteous from the moment they arrived. It only took 20mins from their arrival for them to be setup and ready to serve food, which they did for a couple of hours. We had three of the most delicious curries we’ve had in a very long time - think high-end Indian restaurant in terms of quality. Remarkable depth of flavour, served with delicious accompaniments. We had loads of food left over as well. We highly recommend Kash and look forward to using him again.

Booked for Private party

Absolutely phenomenal food and service. From the moment we booked Chef Edward’s services, he immediately contacted us to make sure all our culinary and hospitality needs were addressed. He even set up a time for us to call from the U.S. just so he could make sure everything was in order prior to our arrival. When the day finally arrived, we showed up to our beautiful AirBnb with Ed hard at work in the kitchen and the glorious smells of our dinner wafting throughout the house. Ed immediately met us with a smile and gave us a heartfelt welcome. The table was beautifully set and we were soon seated. He expertly explained each dish and paired beverage. The scallop starter was absolutely phenomenal. The spices and heat balances so well with the scallop. Just when we didn’t think it could get any better, the beef Wellington arrived. I have traveled the world and this is without a doubt the best beef dish I have ever eaten. Our pallets were cleansed with a fantastic handmade raspberry sorbet, also expertly paired with a delicious beverage. The meal was completed with a delicious assortment of homemade macarons and salted/chocolate crisps. To concluded, I would absolutely recommend anyone and everyone to be Fed by Ed! You won’t regret it!

Booked for Wedding

Responsive, fantastic value and delicious food. Acorn Hog Roast catered for my wedding, and they did a splendid job, many satisfied guests and they were flexible to the dietary requirements (even the more complicated ones) of everyone in attendance. My only fault would be the time it takes to serve food out to everyone, however that's part of what you're getting with having everyone que for food. Overall i'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for amazing value for good food.

Booked for Hen party

We booked the Flower Bar for a hen party on 2 April 2022 and had a really positive service. All the staff were very friendly and went the extra mile. It was very well organised, good value for money and we all absolutely loved it…I would definitely recommend it to anyone 😊

Booked for Birthday party

Thank so much for a lovely, stress-free evening. The service was excellent, friendly and efficient. The kitchen was spotless when they'd finished. The food was delicious and we were all very full. They were brilliant catering for the children also. Would use again, they made the occasion very special.

Booked for Private party

I arranged for a private dinner party for 16 people with varying dietary needs. Laur was fantastic from the beginning to end. Communication was fantastic and the food was brilliant- he even gave us the unused food much to everyone’s joy over the following days. I would definitely recommend Laur.

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
