Booked for Celebration

Amazing dinner cooked by Guilherme. Him and Fabian, his assistant, helped us have the perfect dinner and celebration- I couldn’t recommend them enough. The food was of an excellent quality, but also great value for money. The menu options were also great and they accommodated the one vegetarian in our group (16 people) very well. Guilherme was always very responsive and communicated really well, I would definitely book Guilherme again if I require a similar service in the future! Thank you :)

Booked for Birthday party

The versatile chef provided an excellent meal for 14 adults at my husbands birthday party. He was courteous, efficient and extremely skilled. I would recommend him and will use him again

Booked for Birthday party

I would highly recommend Edward, he was great to deal with from start to finish, very good communication even before we had finalised the booking to ensure the experience would be excellent. The food was excellent, the steak just melted in your mouth. We had an open plan kitchen diner, so Edward was always in the same area as the party, he was engaging when required and respectful at other times. At the end of the meal Edward left the kitchen clean and tidy. Thank you Edward, we will definitely book again for any future needs

Greg was amazing. So professional, and helpful. Turned up bang on time. Highly organised, and produced an incredible and delicious dinner, served it and washed up the whole thing. It was beyond any expectations.

Booked for Birthday party

An absolutely incredible meal & fantastic service - I can't praise David enough! My guests were blown away & I'm so happy I chose the Mobile Lunch Company.

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.
