Loads of my guests commented on how tasty the pizzas were and the people running it were friendly and very accommodating to dietary requirements.

Booked for Corporate Function

I cannot rate Buffets & BBqs highly enough. Our team building event held in Hope Valley consisted of a days Clay Pigeon shooting for 13 of our external sales team with big appetites who simply cannot praise these guys any more. The quality of the food provided along with the range and quantity was absolutely perfect. All of this topped off by the hosts Ian & Chris who the guys had a great laugh with on the evening really topped off a great 2 day event. I will certainly be looking to use these guys again in the future. Thanks again.

Booked for Wedding

We are super happy we chose Debbie and her sister at Spice It Up Bar B Q! These two ladies know how to cook and we had nothing but positive feedback from their selection of Caribbean grub. Debbie was easily contactable with the lead up to our wedding, she also was flexible when we asked to swap a couple of things from the menu she proposed. We were keen to have Caribbean food for the hearty home cooking. Half of the family are Jamaican and it felt the perfect cuisine for us as we officially got married in Aruba, one of the Caribbean islands. There was plenty of food, and the ladies didn't let any go to waste, allowing guests to take it home. The finishing touches these two brought was even more than we hoped, extremely friendly and welcoming to the mile long queue of guests they had to serve. If anyone wants a wedding meal with a twist, and plenty of food to go around to all of your guests, we'd recommend Spice it up Bar B Q.

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.
