Booked for Wedding

Wow, what a fantastic pair! Murilo has been totally epic through the whole thing, incredible communication. All of our guests were blown away by the quality of the food that was served, the horseradish burger went down particularly well. I had the barbecue burger and it was incredible, the fries were also out of this world. If you are looking for a great value for money fantastic quality food, book these guys. Thank you for making our wedding day the best day of our lives 🥰

Booked for Hen party

Paul was brilliant from start to finish. He was in touch a few times before the event to check in and ensure he had all the info required. Sadly, the weather didn’t hold out for us on the day but Paul worked through the rain and created some amazing food and provided a wonderful, friendly and professional service. I would highly recommend him! Thank you for doing such a fantastic job, you really helped to make the day special, you were brilliant, thank you!

Booked for Celebration

I booked RoastEvent for my daughter’s christening & couldn’t have been happier that I did. William always responded very quickly whenever I contacted him to ask questions or increase the number of guests etc. They were able to accommodate my guests with gluten free, vegetarian & vegan requirements. We chose to have a BBQ with a fantastic range of meats & side dishes plus couscous filled roast peppers. Pricing was very reasonable & included plates, napkins etc. My guests were all extremely satisfied & enjoyed the food so I’d highly recommend Roast Event.

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.
