Booked for Birthday party

I absolutely would recommend Big Pans. I had them cater my 60th birthday and everyone enjoyed the food. I had one person who was a pescatarian and they did a separate meal for that person. Fantastic service no complaints from me.

Booked for Wedding

Kaz went above and beyond to make sure all our guests were satisfied, and the crepes tasted amazing. It was without a doubt the best value for money service we booked for our wedding. I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend to anyone!

Booked for Birthday party

Fantastic food, my guests were extremely complimentary about every aspect, the vegans and veggies felt well catered for, plus the coeliac. The chicken was delicious and amazing chips! The only downside was the queueing time, guests waited around 20-30mins to be served, a third member of staff would have been useful.

Booked for Wedding

Suze was so lovely and took care of everything! The pizzas were delicious and exactly what we were after for evening food for our outdoor festival-style wedding reception. Big thanks for helping make it a great, stress-free evening! Poptop were great at facilitating communication with the pizza guys and would definitely recommend them :)

Booked for Wedding

My guests absolutely loved the burgers, as in I had numerous people come up to me and tell me how nice they were. Jason was really quick to answer any questions I had and was very easy to arrange things with and provided a great service. Overall I would highly recommend them as a supplier, they did a great job
