Booked for Anniversary

From the booking process to meeting our wonderful chef and waitress and to experiencing the outstanding gourmet food, everything was just perfect. Mario and Marta are professional and also lovely. Nothing was too much trouble and they made our 25th wedding anniversary as special as we wanted it to be. Highly recommend

Booked for Wedding

We had Kash and his team prepare our 3 course meal for our wedding.. Words cannot describe how perfect and delicious everything was! Kash was very responsive and attentive, he met with us couple of times to discuss at length every detail of the meal, he took everything on board and came up with a fantastic menu for us. All the guests had nothing but positive things to say about how amazing the dinner was. I would recommend them 150%! Wedding can be very stressful and Kash made everything so much easier for us. If you hire this wonderful team you'll be in the most capable hands and you'll be in for the most exquisite treat! Thank you guys for making our special day amazing, you guys were fantastic!

Booked for Birthday party

Stuart provided us with a fantastic menu and the food on the evening was fabulous. We couldn’t fault it. Stuart and Natalie were professional, friendly and efficient. We had 10 guests and every one of us said we would be more than happy to recommend Stuart to a friend. I would definitely hire Stuart for an event again!

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.
