Marcel is a true professional. He was timely, focused and his food was excellent. Couldn't recommend him more highly. My sister had the perfect intimate family meal and we will definitely call on Marcel again! Thank you!

Booked for Celebration

We had the 8 course seasonal tasting menu serving 8 people. This was a thank you dinner for friends where I wanted to sit down and talk to them instead of constantly being in the kitchen. The food was delicious, good presentation; friendly staff, chef explained all the courses and the kitchen was left spotless. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would be delighted to engage Just Graze again.

Booked for Private party

Liam catered for our dinner party for 12 and we were so impressed- especially as we were all able to choose our meals individually! The food was all delicious and Liam was lovely. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others!

Booked for Anniversary

Silvestre was fantastic right from first contact with menu ideas through to the final surprise anniversary lunch for my wife (and children). The food was top class and he was charming and fun throughout the day - the kids had a ball. As others have said, he is a consummate professional, even letting himself into my house while I pretended to the family we were going out for lunch then returning with them to a table of delicious canapes with first course already under way. Can't recommend him highly enough and will definitely be using again. Thank you, again, Silvestre.

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.
