Booked for Private party

My son enjoyed tucking into his afternoon tea. Good communication from JK Munchies as Covid & lockdown did cause some issues, but JK Munchies were very accommodating with changing booking dates.

My sister and her boyfriend loved the afternoon tea, great quality and a good size for two people. Ordered just 2 days before delivery and it was there as agreed. Highly recommended 👍

Booked for Birthday party

A huge thank you to Stewart for catering our recent 40th birthday party. His communication was great, particularly with our attendee numbers fluctuating over the weeks prior! He went out of his way to prepare a special birthday treat for my other half of his favourite chocolates - the attention to detail was great and food quality and quantity just perfect. The pakora was particularly popular! Thanks for making our day stress free!

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.
