Mrs Angela Lomas30 Oct 2025

Booked for Birthday party

We were so lucky to have found Nathan on Poptop! He fully engaged with my dream of having a Medieval-themed birthday meal, using his incredible creativity and culinary skills to produce a 3-course meal that was so flavoursome and generous in portion size. Nathan was friendly and professional throughout the whole booking process. Nothing was too much trouble. Nathan and Noah arrived promptly to our AirBnB 'castle', produced their beautiful spread, leaving the kitchen cleaner than they found it, and with 16 very content, full and exceptionally gracious guests. I would absolutely recommend Nathan to anyone. You are in for a treat!

Booked for Anniversary

We had such a lovely and relaxed evening with Edward, I requested a few changes to the menu - to which he happily obliged, and the meal was fantastic. It was such a lovely meal and we can't stop talking about the food! Thank you to Edward and we will definitely be using him in the future for further bookings. Best Kat

Booked for Hen party

I would highly recommend Jakub! Very responsive during booking/for any questions, food allergies were easily accommodated and he was very friendly in person. Most importantly the food was delicious! We had a group of 15 - everyone was very happy with their food chocies. And the kitchen etc was left extremely tidy afterwards.

Booked for Birthday party

Everything went so smoothly from my first search of your site to our amazing chef Nathan arriving at the hardest holiday home to find, right on time, and cooking the most amazing dinner - thank you so much for putting us together and helping create a birthday to remember!!

Booked for Celebration

Fantastic service from start to finish. I had been looking for a while for a catering service that would be suitable for the event that we had planned. However due to lockdowns and uncertainty we only had a short amount of notice. Chef Pat was so helpful, understanding and fast with the service provided. On the day of the event he arrived at site and set up the BBQ and prepared all of the food, side orders etc. He brought plates, cutlery and sauces with him. Everyone at the party was super satisfied with the food and the value for money was brilliant. The range of items on the menu was great and everyone was catered for. I would 100% use Chef Pat's services in the future. Chef Pat was very chatty and accommodating. We were made to feel comfortable and as though no request was too much trouble.

Booked for Hen party

"Ian was fantastic! Very easy to plan with prior to the event. On the day it was so nice to sit back and have that kind of service and skill in your own home. He was so accommodating and really put me at ease that everything was in control. The food was just out of this world! I couldn't recommend highly enough, thank you for such a lovely experience."
