100% recommend Daryl and Joanna from On the go Foods. Fantastic addition to our Festival Party. Arrived in plenty of time and cooked all the food in the Food van. Quality of food was amazing. Everyone at the party thoroughly enjoyed it. Lovely people too. Thank you for helping make my daughter's 21st Festival party a huge success!
