Amjad is exactly as he describes himself and so is his ice cream. He was a pleasure to do business with and was friendly and helpful to the guests. First class service.

Everyone at the wedding have been raving about the tacos they had. The Señor Tigre team were amazing and I would highly recommend. Helped make our wedding one to remember. I would hire again for sure.

We had a beautiful meal, perfectly cooked and presented. The chef and waiter were attentive and relaxed and the kitchen was left clean and tidy. A wonderful evening for us all.

Booked for Birthday party

I was a little unsure initially who to pay or who Delivertea were, but the actual service and product they delivered were excellent. Also good value for money. Will definitely use again.

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.
