Pizza Paddock catered the daytime at our wedding and all of our guests loved the pizza!! Everyone was raving about how good the food was, myself and my husband included. Enoch was super friendly and communicative leading up to the wedding and amazing at helping us with dietary requirements and allergies, which our guests and us really appreciated. When we had a few guests unable to make it and therefore pizzas left over, Enoch kindly offered to make us up a selection and leave them in boxes for us to have later - we were very grateful for these when tidying the venue up the next day. Thank you again, we would absolutely recommend 10/10 ⭐️

Both us and all of our guests thoroughly enjoyed the Crepes and kaz even went to the effort of whipping up some.more mix once he'd finished as the bride and groom had not yet had chance to have a crepe. Great service and lots of compliments from all

These chips were amazing from the taste to the size even the variety of toppings. Gave us so many chips we had to dance them off. Friendly and professional staff. The van is quite big so just one to note if you book with them it’s like twice size of a standard ice cream van.

About supplier

Our Retro Rocket It was built as a food truck but before I bought it it was a sausage van. We had to change all sorts of equipment. I've always wanted to do crepes for some reason, who doesn't love a crepe?
