Booked for Birthday party

Thanks very much Javi. The paella was delicious and our guests enjoyed it a lot. It was great to have you cooking there and really added to the atmosphere of the party. We appreciated your flexibility about quality of meat / seafood / veggie dishes, and able to make last minute adjustments without a problem. Recommended!

Henry and his team were great from the minute we made the booking! Communication was good prior to and during the event, then on the day they arrived in good time to get set up and ready in time for our event starting! The food was absolutely amazing - great portion sizing and really tasty - 100% recommended!

Booked for Birthday party

Dealing with Javi was an absolute pleasure from start to finish and he made our lives so much easier by taking care of everything for us. Our Spanish guests loved the Paella and so did all our other guests! I would definitely use his services again and I will be recommending him to others. Thank you

Chef Lopez arrived exactly on time, as promised, and cooked a delicious paella for our guests, which went down very well with everyone. The amounts are very generous, so no-one went hungry. Great quality, huge prawns, clams and mussels, chorizo etc. The staff were so easy to work with, a voice of calm as things got underway for us. Thank you again -would recommend to anyone.

We booked Nomad for a party with friends and the food was amazing. Everyone was wanting more. Oli is great to work with and served some delicious food in a casual way and we even had some left over to get stuck in again the day after. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

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.
