Booked for Celebration

Communication before the event was amazing. Ed was very personable and made us feel very relaxed. The food was outstanding and he made my fathers 80th birthday a very special event. Would definitely use him again, already thinking of a reason to book him again!

Booked for Wedding

Food was good and presented beautifully just would have liked more correspondence from them. Only message us a week before the event

Charlotte Day3 Jul 2021

Booked for Hen party

Can't fault the chef alan was great however I think the food for the amount of money possibly didn't quite match up. Also the chicken main could have done with some sort of sauce

Booked for Anniversary

Kris and Harry were fantastic! Our special anniversary dinner was made extra special by adding the cocktails and canapes. We were so impressed by the service and the great value for money that we will ensure to continue to use this company in the future for small and big events. Keep up the hard work!

Booked for Anniversary

For mine and my husband’s 25th wedding anniversary, my two daughters surprised us with a luxury afternoon tea, and a bottle of prosecco from Chef Matei. It was perfect, there was such a lovely variety and it all tasted so good/fresh! Matei really does go above and beyond, we can’t thank him enough for making our day so special. Fully recommend to anyone and we can’t wait for him to cook more amazing food at our postponed anniversary party next year!! 😊 Ps - all tastes exceptional, especially the chocolate brownie and coronation chicken wrap!! It’s a must try!

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.
