Booked for Birthday party

We booked this for our party not knowing anything about the company but they did not disappoint. They communicated with us before the event to check what we wanted and were able to accommodate gluten free, lactose free and vegetarian options. They arrived at the time they said and the young men were professional and the food went down very well and plenty of it. Our guests all commented on how good it was. I would definitely use them again

Booked for Corporate Function

Arrived nice and early and set up without any issues. Really lovely team high energy. Everyone was polite and helpful. Monster Burgers was 1 of 3 vendors on the day. The queues never stopped and feedback from all who ate there was really good. They joined in with the spirit of the occasions and overall were a lovely company to work with.

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.
