We used Cucina Di Filan for our last minute wedding at an Airbnb and the service we received from Sue & Fil was amazing. The weather was very cold and icy so Sue adapted her service and printed menus off for me and my guests to ensure that we didn’t have to go and wait outside in the cold. She also bought the food to us inside once it was ready. We had a range of food options to choose from and the food was lovely!! My guests loved it. Highly recommend 🫶🏼

Bearing in mind I booked the big chipper on Tuesday for our event on Saturday, I could not be more impressed. Rob was fantastic at communicating, he was prompt and very self-sufficient. Helps that the food was delicious! I would definitely book the big chipper again.

We had Stone Artisan Pizzas cater our ‘night before the wedding’ party and they were brilliant. Bobs and Suze were super efficient, friendly and the pizzas were delicious. Highly recommend as they made the process stress free and the pizzas were amazing.
