Booked for Birthday party

I can’t recommend Edward highly enough! He catered for my fathers 80th birthday, 20 guests with varying tastes & dietary requirements. Edward was very prompt in his responses to my texts & emails and what’s so obliging. He (and his 2 waiting staff) were extremely friendly & professional from start to finish and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

Booked for Birthday party

Matei catered for my husbands 30th Birthday, the food was fabulous and we had an amazing evening. Matei traveled to the place we were staying, cooked us a 5 course menu (explaining each one) and even cleaned up after himself. I would recommend him to everyone, we will be booking him 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.
