Booked for Hen party

I hired Ed for my sister’s hen, and he was great! We were all vegan and one of us had a nut allergy, and he adapted his menu really well. We also had a last minute dish change for one of our guests, which he was a really good sport about. The food was incredible and he is a really lovely guy. We’d definitely hire him again in a heartbeat :)

What client said

“

We had such a great experience with Stuart from Wrap and Bun. In the lead up to the event Stuart provided a number of different options for each course of the seven course tasting meal and was very open to any changes we might want to make. On the day Stuart arrived on time, got straight to work preparing and serving the food and left the place spotless afterwards. The food quality was fantastic and enjoyed by the whole party. Would highly recommend to anybody thinking about going ahead!
