Booked for Wedding

Delicious ice cream, which proved popular on such a hot day! Friendly service and we are very grateful. The personalized wafers were brilliant and they gave us the leftover ones to keep.

Booked for Birthday party

We had a fantastic meal for a combined celebration of Father’s Day and a 60th birthday, all cooked and served by Jakub. Portions were generous and the food was fresh and delicious. All dishes and sides were cleared down afterwards, no mess left. Highly recommend and will definitely use again. 😊

Booked for Birthday party

I just want to say a huge Thankyou to Luke and his co-worker for the fantastic service at my daughters 30th birthday party! Pop up pizzas definitely delivered a first class service that was received with big smiles of satisfaction and delight. The choices of pizzas were stunning and so authentic but different too! The curriza masala was a favourite of mine and many of the party guests,but the ‘ all fired up’ was fabulous too!! What can I say but just amazing. Thankyou so much !!!

Booked for Hen party

I'm a PA and I just arranged a hen party for eight lovely ladies and their feedback was excellent. Everything was delivered as promised on the day. In the arrangements leading to the event, the communication from the team was beyond helpful. Thank you to the team at Five and especially Georgiev for creating very special memories for the Hen. Also, the girls wanted to add that hygiene was exceptional and thank you for leaving the kitchen cleaner than when you started. 10/10.

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.
