Booked for Birthday party

Jakub supplied excellent food at short notice for our daughters 21st birthday celebration. The menu choice was great. What we selected surpassed our expectation and made for a wonderful celebration. I would highly recommend him and his food.

Booked for Celebration

We had the 8 course seasonal tasting menu serving 8 people. This was a thank you dinner for friends where I wanted to sit down and talk to them instead of constantly being in the kitchen. The food was delicious, good presentation; friendly staff, chef explained all the courses and the kitchen was left spotless. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would be delighted to engage Just Graze again.

Booked for Birthday party

James and Luke were our chefs for the evening, catering for a surprise party of 12 for a 60th birthday celebration. Although there was initially a little confusion as to the amount of choices we had from the menu, this was quickly resolved. We settled on a three course meal from the summer menu which was absolutely magnificent. Every plate, every course, whether vegetarian or meat, were all beautiful. The presentation was lovely and every dish arrived at the same time, steaming hot and tasty. I must point out that this was a surprise dinner party for 6 of the guests and yet James had taken time to study each individual menu choice noting who had chosen what before serving us thus avoiding having to ask who had ordered what. Very professionally done. Both James and Luke arrived two hours prior to our seating time and worked efficiently but quietly, creating our stunning meal and once we had finished they quietly washed and tidied away all of the dishes afterwards. You would never have known they had been there! I cannot rate these guys highly enough. They were both so polite too and even left a lovely birthday card for the birthday boys before leaving. Should an occasion arise when I needed a caterer, I would not hesitate in contacting James Howe again.
