What an absolutely brilliant concept! The food was excellent all the sandwiches and wraps were fresh and interesting, my veggie and gluten free relatives were catered for too. All my guests commented on the wonderful food and fun gin cocktails. The presentation was lovely and the gin cocktails were delish. Everything was brilliantly organised and I didn't have to so a thing, I left it in the very capable hands of Emily. A very definate hit and can't recommend highly enough. A real treat , so pleased I found touring ripples through Poptop

Nick and his partner Julliette were truly marvellous! From the first moment we made contact, they put my mind at ease. It was a tough gig.. a wake! But they catered to the occasion perfectly. They were kind, sensitive, and really helpful. I would say they went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and we didn't need to worry. May I add, we didn't make things easy.. I forgot the plates and everything was a bit chaotic, however Nick was great and totally took over and took everything in hand. Thankyou. I rank him very highly! He's reliable, helpful, kind, logical and polite. But above all..THEIR FOOD TASTES GREAT! XX

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
