Booked for Christmas party

Ed came to us for an early Christmas party. He was great in the lead up, managing multiple dietary requirements (pregnancy & gluten intolerance) and answering all of our questions. The menu was incredible, all the food was beautifully prepared, tasty and the portions were very generous. Following the kitchen was left beautifully clean. Would highly recommend Ed :)

Booked for Anniversary

Celebtrating our Sapphire jubilee. Very adaptable to our party's needs, which included 5 children. Stoyan was prompt, efficient and very friendly. The service was very hygenic and clean. The prawns were very tasty as a starter and the salad was also good. The children especially enjoyed their chicken souvlaki. We adults all thought the baklavas were absolutely amazing. Would definitely recommend.
