Booked for Birthday party

Debbie kept in touch before the party by email and phone, she arrived with her crew on time around 3hours before the party started, promptly set up and started cooking the food, they set out salads, cutlery and sauces and told us when the food was ready. We had around 50 to feed, our guests enjoyed the food so much they went back for 2nd and 3rd servings!! There was more than enough food to go around, plus I gave Debbie containers to box up leftovers which we ate the day after!! the ingredients they use are top quality, they cook carribean food to perfection, and Debbie cooks the mutton curry herself which is amazzzzing! everything was so delicious, the food was a hit for our guests and I am sure they will be for anyone that hires them, I would highly recommend Spice it up, thank you so much 😊

Booked for Private party

Before the event, Christopher and Aimee were so easy to talk to. Nothing was a problem and they were very informative with details. On the day, they arrived at the agreed time and swiftly got the pop up bar set up. Each group of ladies enjoyed getting involved with the cocktail making masterclass! Christopher was good fun and there was no time wasted in getting the next group up to make their cocktails. I would recommend Lockhart Libations to anybody looking for a fun activity to enhance an event. We had 60 ladies, each group were finished within 15 mins having made 2 cocktails per person. Thank you so much Christopher and Aimee for making our popular Ladies Day another success.
