Booked for Hen party

Paul was brilliant from start to finish. He was in touch a few times before the event to check in and ensure he had all the info required. Sadly, the weather didn’t hold out for us on the day but Paul worked through the rain and created some amazing food and provided a wonderful, friendly and professional service. I would highly recommend him! Thank you for doing such a fantastic job, you really helped to make the day special, you were brilliant, thank you!

Booked for Birthday party

Initial contact was an issue but once we were able to phone and speak about requirements service from then on was brilliant. Food was delivered at exactly the requested time and was good quality (sausage rolls were a particular favourite!). The only slight criticism was that the sandwiches arrived tightly packed and would have benefited from being put into more containers rather than crammed in together. If you're looking for a reasonably priced, reasonable graded buffet food supplier then I can recommend this company.
