Booked for Birthday party

Hands down, the most amazing experience and food - I'd recommend Marius to anyone and I hope to be able to use him again in the future. This was a surprise 30th birthday for my wife, where 8 of us enjoyed Marius' private chef experience in a large, rented house. I wanted to make it special and he catered for everything I asked for - including 2 additional courses creating an unreal 5 course menu. Quick replies, nothing was too much hassle and everything accommodated for. Huge menu options for each course and the ability to select 2 from each meant every guest was happy. Marius himself is such a lovely person and made the experience even better - he's warm and kind, we asked questions and he was more than happy to explain where elements were homemade, where meats were sourced from and the general process. We had conversation at times but he was also respectful that we were dining as a family too. It was a pleasure to learn about his journey, experience his amazing cooking/food and create a lasting memory for us all. Thank you, Marius & we all wish you the very best in the future.

Paul and Maureen did a great job catering for my mums 60th birthday celebrations. In the lead up to the event Paul was very easy to communicate with and did his best to come up with a great menu for fussy eaters! Thank you both for a great evening!

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.

Locally sourced and delicious seafood creates the perfect menu for you and your guests to enjoy in the comfort of your own home. I will come to your home and prepare the meal for you and your guests, serve and leave the kitchen clean and tidy at the end of your event. All the food is cooked from scratch and with only fresh ingredients. I'll request that the majority of the group will eat the same dishes, but for those who don't like something or are following a diet or an allergy, I'll cater.
