Kash was brilliant and attentive both before, during and after the event! Everyone raved about his food, the portion sizes/ amount of food was excellent as was the quality. He was flexible with his positioning of the cooking and serving area and was polite and friendly throughout! Thank you very much and would thoroughly recommend. Josh

I hired the Rib Rack BBQ Company for my 40th birthday and wouldn’t hesitate to book them again. It was so hassle free from start to finish and Simon delivered an amazing service. The food was delicious and all of my guests were extremely impressed. I think Simon will be getting a lot of business from them and my neighbours in future! Thanks again Simon - keep up the good work.

Very pleased with our Bbq which was hassle free and received much praise from our guests. Good selection of meats and salads and the service was spot on from Laura and Mandy. Would recommend as it took the stress away of cooking good bbq food for 30 people.

Booked for Birthday party

I used the services of Five catering for my husbands surprise 40th BBQ and I was extremely pleased with them. The communication from initial enquiry right through to turning up on time, which was important given it was a surprise, and the quality of food cannot be faulted. The weather was not great but the chef worked out where to position the gazebo and the food so it worked out fine. All my guests commented on how tasty the food was, the variety and even down to the condiments. Simply everything was provided and meant I could fully relax and spend time with our guests. I would definitely recommend Five catering to anyone who wants quality food and catering for excellent value for money. Thank you Five!
