Booked for Anniversary

We had such a fantastic evening with Ed. We wanted to do something special for our parents 40th wedding anniversary and Ed exceeded our expectations. From the initial enquiry Ed was great with comms, very flexible and professional. From arrival on the night it was clear we were in safe hands - he served an amazing 3 course dinner to suit everyone’s taste and dietaries. My mum whose a real fish lover said her scallops were the best scallops she’s ever had. Ed was so friendly and we really enjoyed our evening. I would absolutely recommend him and we would love to book him again in future.

Booked for Birthday party

Ed was very communicative and called so we could discuss dietary requirements and allergies in our group of 14. The service from Ed was great, he arrived on time, was extremely polite and chatted with our guests. Food was delicious and everyone had a good time. Left the kitchen clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend

Booked for Other Event

We thoroughly enjoyed the event! Great service and tasty food. I was worried because I had 3 fussy children but all of them were very happy with their meals and thought that the puddings were glorious ! Which is a big compliment to the chef!

Simon was fantastic from the extensive menu options and short notice to prepare to the delicious food and professional service...everything was wonderful! I would highly recommend his services. We had a 3 course meal, 11 people at our Airbnb which was organised with only 2 days notice. He has great menu choices for vegetarians and was extremely accommodating for our vegan guest. 5/5 thanks Simon!

Booked for Birthday party

Best Afternoon Delivery Service. They made sure everything was absolutely perfect for my Grandma's afternoon tea birthday party. They kept me informed and updated with everything. They personalized a menu and gave my grandma a card. Everyone at the party loved the food and wanted to know all more about this lovely company. I would highly recommend them! Thank you Lyreb for making my Grandma's Day!!

Booked for Private party

Luxury, fine dining was provided with a minimum of fuss by Riad and Sarah. The food was exquisite, every diner was complimentary. They are wonderful, friendly, and warm people, providing beautiful food from canapés, to a three course meal all cooked from fresh and served to the table. I would highly recommend Zachary Jaxon Events and will be finding reasons to use them again. Thank you Sarah and Riad, thank you xx (pictures show one of the three choices per course we had. We enjoyed so much we forgot to photograph the rest)

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.
