Booked for Birthday party

The service and food provided was great. 2 team members, very efficient and friendly. The pizza van arrived later than our booking due to an unforeseen circumstance however we were notified well in advance and were kept informed so it did not affect our plans. Thank you for doing a great job! Everyone really enjoyed the pizza.

Booked for Hen party

"I cannot say how wonderful my first experience with a personal chef was! Ivana catered for a group of 14 out of an Air BnB in Brighton. She was very helpful prior to the event with sending sample menus and suggestions for the meal which all looked amazing. On the night of she was right on time and brought everything she needed which made it very easy for the group given that we weren't ourselves familiar with the kitchen/supplies available. The meal was absolutely incredible and the group could not have been more impressed. Thanks again for the perfect accent to a fun weekend away. No doubt I will be passing on recommendations to friends!"
