Booked for Birthday party

Wonderful evening celebrating a special birthday. Food was incredible and Mario is such a wonderful chef. Thank you for making our evening so memorable.

Booked for Birthday party

Overall a lovely experience. Some of the dishes were not what I expected so that was a bit disappointing but overall a lovely experience and the chef was very professional and friendly. I chose too many dishes so would probably have left out the main course and just done starters canapés and desert. A recommendation to the chef would be to state exactly what is in each dish on the menu so the client knows what to expect.

Chef Eugene saved my birthday meal after someone cancelled last minute. He was punctual, polite, he left everything clean and the food was amazing, I'm still full. Would definitely hire again.

Booked for Hen party

The food was absolutely delicious the service was incredible so friendly and the overall response I got was brilliant he even let me change one of the dishes for the vegetarian option as we weren’t keen on original dish. He laid the table served us no washing up needed! The only thing I will say is that the courses were rushed through they weren’t big which was good considering how quickly the turnaround was wouldn’t of been great to of had big dishes.

Booked for Hen party

Marcello cooked us a wonderful, very tasty 3 course meal on the 18th May for my sisters hen party which was for 13 people. This included a glass of bubbly, a talk through the history of pasta which was very interesting and a food demonstration of ravioli – which was delicious and great fun to learn how to make fresh pasta. Marcello and John were the perfect hosts, very friendly and made the evening very special, catering for our every need. Not only were we cooked for, but the food was served and the chef’s cleaned up too, which was a very nice treat! I would highly recommend Marcello, we had such a wonderful evening and it really made the hen weekend.

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.
