Booked for Birthday party

Chef Harry catered for our family gathering. He was amazing and his knowledge and personality were superb. He pays attention to tiny details to ensure that his dishes are cooked to perfection and meticulously presented. He was friendly and calm and the food was excellent and enjoyed by everyone. A true professional and a pleasure to talk to!

Fabulous service from Greg and his team. We had a brilliant time, food was exquiste and the chefs were super helpful and indulgent to all our questions. Totally would book again for 14 people it was perfect.

Booked for Birthday party

I was so impressed with the two ladies that attended, the food was outstanding, we cleared all plates, they made us feel at ease in our home as thought it may be awkward eating in front of someone that just made it but it wasn’t I put our 3 kids to bed, got changed & could then enjoy a gorgeous meal with my hubby in piece. The two ladies were so polite, they explained each dish nicely & cleaned my kitchen at end & even left me some for fridge. Highly recommend amazing service 5 stars! Xxx

We were absolutely spoilt. The food was amazing and Paula our chef was lovely. It was so wonderful not to have to clear everything up. The variations of courses were ideal and the risotto was delicious. A really wonderful experience that we'll repeat.

Booked for Birthday party

Lee was fantastic from start to finish. He was very quick to reply to emails and was really flexible. The food was absolutely delicious, we loved the whole experience. Lee left the kitchen spotless. We really appreciated everyone being able to make their own meal selections (rather than all having the same thing).

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

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