The food was absolutely amazing - great portion sizing and really tasty - 100% recommended!

Booked for Birthday party

EXCEPTIONAL Denis and his team were brilliant from start to finish. Denis provided quick responses throughout the planning process. Nothing was ever too much to ask for. On the day, Denis and his team were polite, hardworking and the food tasted lovely! A special mention for Natasha, who was brilliant at coordinating the service and their team on the night. We would book again. Many thanks Victoria

Booked for Private party

Food was lovely and everyone was very positive about it. There was a slight misunderstanding from management as to the flexibility of portions as the caterers on the ground needed exactly the number people eating (as we had a few extra came along than expected) as they were suggesting about charging for more, as it was originally suggested there would be a lot of extra portions (included) due to reducing our drinks package. However, we believe everyone (or virtually everyone) got fed so was fine in the end. I enjoyed messaging the manager (Frik) who was always responsive and helpful. I would recommend these but would have preferred clarity beforehand on the extra portions, perhaps a communication error or misunderstanding. Lovely food and nice people though in all! Would recommend!

Booked for Birthday party

I was very impressed with the reliability of BSK. They returned my calls promptly and arrived on time. Their menu was varied and all my guests were really impressed with the quality and taste of the food. They were very accommodating and I would most definitely use them again and recommend them.

Deanna Louise Parker7 Sep 2021

Booked for Wedding

The service from Oink Oink BBQ was exceptional. The pork was the best pork I have ever tasted and all our guest were raving about it. The crackling was out of this world. Honestly couldn't thank them enough. I am now trying to find any excuse to throw a party just so I can hire Martin and his team again. They were the dream team and made our day so special. Thank you.

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.
