Booked for Private party

Fantastic food and service. Chef turned up early, set up with no issues and did not get in the way. All guests complemented the food, would definitely recommend and will use again.

Booked for Birthday party

Richie was fabulous - I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and I look forward to the next event I can contract him for. We were let down by another chef only a week before my Mum’s 60th bday dinner party but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise as we wouldn’t have found Richie otherwise. His communication prior to the event was very prompt and helpful and his menu choices were fantastic. He was really understanding of our dietary requirements and was able to adapt all his dishes. On the day he arrived on time, was very friendly and a pleasure to have around. Each dish was excellent - well presented, perfectly balanced flavours and good portions sizes. You couldn’t tell he’d been in the kitchen after he departed, he left it spotlessly clean. Absolutely 10/10.

Absolutely incredible dinner - every course was very creative and brilliantly executed. A truly memorable dining experience that I would recommend to anyone and that can compare with any top restaurant.

Booked for Hen party

We had the most amazing meal at my hen do thanks to Sean. He carefully curated a perfect an entirely vegan meal for me and my hens, even the non vegans loved it! It was the most wonderful way to start my hen weekend. Would highly recommend!

Booked for Birthday party

A fantastic way to celebrate a 60th birthday. Sean and Kelly were excellent and prepared and served the most excellent food. Additional requests were no problem at all. I have no hesitation in highly recommending them for any 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.
