Booked for Corporate Function

We booked at quite short notice for our staff party but Erint was so efficient in sorting everything out in the run up. At the actual event the setup was seamless, the food was delicious, plentiful and worth every penny. Will definitely consider for future events and would highly recommend.

Booked for Corporate Function

The set up was great, the staff were fab and they were very speedy at serving. It would have been 5 stars but we ran out of fish n peas towards the end and also I had messaged about a Halal sausage that didn't get passed through but we sorted it. Overall food was excellent.
