Booked for Birthday party

Erint was absolutely fantastic at our party. He was able to cater to all dietary requirements with no fuss. The food was fresh and tasty. We had 100 guests and they were all served within a couple of hours. Erint himself was very personable and professional. I have already had a few guests ask for his details! I would highly recommend him.

Great food! Freshly cooked and made to order, everyone really enjoyed the food! Unfortunately with x200 people to get through service there was quite a long queue but appreciate it was all cooked fresh and to order. Really helpful and friendly and we loved the food thanks.

Booked for Hen party

Absolutely brilliant, I highly recommend Alex. I loved that he took all the stress out of the organisation, he tailored a menu to suit my budget and his ideas were perfect. The food was absolutely delicious, even nicer than I had expected, everyone loved it and was really impressed. I'll definitely hope to use Alex again in future and would recommend him to anyone. Thanks very much.
