Booked for Birthday party

Dan's Thai cuisine is absolutely superb. He served us some of the most incredible Thai food I’ve ever had the pleasure eating and made my husband's 80th celebration dinner party very memorable. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to host a private dinner party.

Booked for Birthday party

Everything was just perfect. The food was outstanding and our chef Ankur was superb. We had the 9 course tasting menu and he explained every course & was just the loveliest person. I would not hesitate to do this all again.

Kirsty Nichols17 May 2022

Booked for Hen party

Chefs were friendly and catered for dietary requirements. Everyone said they enjoyed the food. However they were around 30minutes late as they said they couldn’t find the property and the sticky toffee pudding and custard was shop bought which I found disappointing. Also the website states the need for a deep fat fryer so I went out and bought one but infact it wasn’t needed!

Booked for Private party

Very disappointed that James had to cancel but we respect the professionalism that he had been exposed to Corona so didn’t want to risk coming to us. In these uncertain times very sensible. We received full refunds speedily.

Booked for Other Event

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.

Marcello cooked our Christmas dinner for us at short notice so we could spend more time with our precious Mum. The food was amazing and Marcello is such a pleasure to have around. I would highly recommend Marcello and look forward to tasting his food and learning from him in the future. Thank you Marcello for helping to make our Christmas so special.

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.
