From start to finish the process was so easy. We had a few people in the group with food allergies and we were given a really good variety of different options to choose from to cater to those. The food tasted amazing and it was presented beautifully and our chef was so friendly, attentive and professional. Would definitely use this service again

Ed created the most amazing menu that went down an absolute treat with my family. He was very accommodating and created an atmostphere that made everyone relax, even when being quizzed by some curious children! Thank you so much for a wonderful meal. We will definitely book you again and recommend you to family and friends.

Lee’s communication with me was excellent throughout. He tweaked the menu for us and even provided us with a child’s meal, which was the child’s favourite! Lee turned up when he said he would, was very friendly and professional and the food was excellent! Would highly recommend!

The team catered for our hen party of 15 wonderfully. They were flexible and great value for money for what we got compared to other companies I had looked at. Would definitely recommend Five!!

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.
