Victor Calabria20 Oct 2025

Booked for Birthday party

We booked last minute and chose Chef Lucas Catering Services. Everything went smoothly from the outset. As soon as the booking was confirmed I phoned up and arranged everything for the day of the event. When they arrived they set up quickly and fed the guests. Awesome gyros, much needed after a day’s drinking. The deep fried haloumi was spectacular. After they left you wouldn’t have known they had been as everything was tidied up. Would definitely use Poptop and Chef Lucas Catering Services again.

Booked for Celebration

The ice cream van turned up on time and was clean and looked inviting to all our guests. Everyone commented on how delicious the ice cream was and generous portion sizes. The two servers were very smartly dressed and very polite. I would definitely book them again and would recommend to anyone.

Booked for Wedding

Nav and his team were absolutely perfect for our garden wedding. They were great fun, so professional and the food was delicious. Thanks very much. Looking forward to visiting you at one of your London markets soon. Thanks!

Booked for Birthday party

Absolutely fantastic!! All my guests were very impressed with the quality of the pizzas and said they were delicious. Mark was very professional and made sure we were all fed and full xxx

Booked for Private party

We had such a great experience with our pizza truck. Guy was a pleasure to deal with, he catered for all of our requirements without fuss and was really flexible whenever we requested changes (even when they were last minute). He couldn't have been more helpful and worked flat out for the whole time he was there. Most importantly, the pizza was delicious and we received such great feedback from our guests on the quality of the food, the service, and how cool the van looked.

Booked for Private party

Wonderful food and service provided by Darryl and his team at On The Go Foods. Our wedding guests loved it! We cannot thank them enough! Highly recommended

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.
