Booked for Wedding

Steve showed up right on timing, set everything up quickly and cooked us very tasty food. I was worried if there was going to be enough food but we even had seconds which was fantastic. I asked for a special request recipe and Steve had no troubles fulfilling! I really recommend!

Booked for Birthday party

Nafi was really nice over the phone and the presentation was pretty good! The only issue is i selected non spicy or mild food but somehow the message was apparently lost , and the person who came to serve us didn’t know about it. Safe to say everything was incredibly spicy, and while most guests liked the food hence 4*, my close family couldn’t eat it. Different pallate. We had the godfather who was indian and his wife and they said it was very spicy for them. Ah well thanks overall for feeding us! We had a Nice time!

Booked for Wedding

The absolute perfect food for our wedding party. Everyone loved Summit Tasty opening in the evening of our wedding, they were the perfect fit to our day and we couldn’t want any more than the tastiest gourmet fries to suit everyone’s tastes. They got a huge cheer opening the van and even raver reviews since. Would book again in a heartbeat! Xx

Booked for Birthday party

Fabulous food and service! Ultra professional. David and his son Ben were phenomenal in the food and service they provided, from booking the whole way through to serving! David kept in touch and checked details with me beforehand so that there were no glitches whatsoever on the evening itself. He was polite and helpful throughout. We are so grateful to them! He made my husband’s birthday party really special.

Booked for Hen party

Olu was absolutely spectacular. We were let down at the last minute and I managed to book Olu the day before the Hen Party and I cannot fault him at all! One of the party was pregnant so he was able to make adjustments for the cocktails and we had a truly fab time. He managed to not only fit us in to his busy schedule, but he made us all feel so special and he really made the night! Thank you Olu for being so awesome!!
