Loki Du Plessis9 Jun 2025

Booked for Other Event

We had an incredible experience for 185 guests with Tom Piper's Hog Roast at our Church weekend away in June 2025. From the outset, booking and communication were seamless, with David offering outstanding support throughout the process. (including numerous gluten-free questions) The Hog and chips was absolutely delicious—especially the perfectly cooked Hog and fabulous crackling, which the Church members couldn’t stop raving about! David and Max were professional, responsive, and ensured everything ran smoothly, making the event truly memorable. Highly recommended them for any gathering

Booked for Private party

We used Louis at our recent Christmas party and cannot recommend highly enough. Brilliant communication before the event and adapted to our needs. On the night they were incredibly professional and most importantly the pizzas were amazing. Thank you, we will definitely be using you guys again!

Booked for Celebration

I booked Matei and team for a garden party for my son’s wedding. They arrived promptly and got set up and served 50 people with no hassle. We were very happy with the food and our guests loved it! Great value for money too! My only suggestion would be that a little improvement to communication would enhance the overall experience.

Booked for Corporate Function

We hired Justins Beach Ice Cream for our work summer BBQ event and his ice cream tricycle was very popular. Delicious ice cream from a local dairy, with a great selection of flavours and topping sauces. Lovely guy and we would not hesitate to book him again. Thank you Justin.

Booked for Birthday party

Absolutely fantastic! From the minute we booked until the last pizza was served George was brilliant. Lots of communication along the way and arrived exactly when they said they would. The pizza and the setup were amazing. Everyone was seriously impressed and the pizza was really lovely quality. If you are thinking about booking this service do not hesitate. Would book this again in a heartbeat. Thank you George and team for a wonderful service.

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
