Booked for Birthday party

We hired Andy for my wife’s birthday at an amazing Air BNB in Cornwall. He was punctual, very professional and very friendly. He was happy to take pictures for us and with us. Thank you so much for making the day so special Andy. We were all still full the next morning for breakfast.

Booked for Birthday party

I booked a dinner party for nine and everyone was very impressed with all three courses. It was much easier and more fun than going out for dinner, for a similar price. Mariusz was delightful, very professional and served delicious food. He communicated clearly throughout and was very flexible in changing dishes to suit a dietary requirement. I would use him again and thoroughly recommend him to others.

Booked for Hen party

Nina was brilliant - she's super friendly and communicated really well. The food she served was brilliant and hot - no mean feat working with only an Aga and 12 guests! She also left the kitchen spotless, which was unexpected delight! - cannot recommend her highly enough for your event!

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.
