Absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much you really did make this birthday memorable for all of the right reasons. A box filled full of tasty delights and my mother didn't know where to start... though I think it might have been with the scotch eggs!! I have no hesitancy in recommending this firm, I will certainly be using them again from the ordering to delivery it was seamless and professional and the quality of the food was exceptional. Thank you Lucas Hampers for making my mothers birthday so very special.

Very pleased with our Bbq which was hassle free and received much praise from our guests. Good selection of meats and salads and the service was spot on from Laura and Mandy. Would recommend as it took the stress away of cooking good bbq food for 30 people.

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.
