Booked for Private party

Stuart wowed us with his fantastic food. The starter was one of the nicest I've ever eaten and all the other dishes were super tasty and presented beautifully. If we have another event, we would definitely choose Stuart to cater for us again. He certainly provideds high quality restaurant food at home and would have no hestitation in recommending him to other people.

Booked for Birthday party

Fantastic afternoon tea as a birthday gift. Happily accommodated for a gluten free option. The recipients thoroughly enjoyed it. Would happily recommend.

Richard Deeley29 Jun 2018

Booked for Birthday party

"Absolutely fantastic. From start to finish this was a very professional effort by Staffordshire Hog Roast. The booking process was simple, excellent guidance from Steve on the options available. On the day of the event they arrived in good time, set up was very discreet, without fuss and amenable to our access needs in a compact rear garden. All of our 50+ guests praised the quality and quantity of the food provided. They couldn’t speak highly enough of such tenderly cooked meats, served in good quantities to suit whatever the guest required. Additionally it’s great value for money. On completion of service, they packed away and swiftly departed without any disturbance to the party or guests. I strongly recommend the use of this excellent company."

Booked for Birthday party

Food for Thought catering contacted me via PopTop and communication was easy and prompt from the beginning. Changing numbers, my request for desert and most notably additional dish hiring and washing were accommodated for a reasonable fee. Sandra arrived at the event punctually, was accommodating over the return of dishes and the storage of leftovers and worked efficiently. The food was generally enjoyed and several guests asked for the supplier's details. I was happy with Sandra's service and would hire her again at any time.

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.
