Booked for Wedding

Fantastic food! Every single guest at our wedding commented on how good it was, even the fussier guests said it was delicious! Only disappointment was that Lucasz himself wasn't there to serve us!

Adam and his team were fantastic from start to finish. They arrived on time, set up efficiently, and served exactly when needed. Impressively, they were able to adapt when we experienced a power issue midway through the service. Adam adjusted his approach to ensure there were no delays when guests came to be served, and offered a wide range of delicious pizzas. Everyone was very happy and well fed.

Will at E8 was amazing to deal with, so helpful with all my questions, and my wedding panics. They arrived with plenty of time to set up on the day, and made absolutely incredible food, I cannot count the amount of compliments I got from guests, but I do know there was not a single complaint! The plan of how the food went out changed last minute and they dealt with it perfectly, I never felt worried at any point. Thank you Will and the E8 team!

Papa’s Pizzeria and Andreas were so fabulous!! They couldn’t have been more helpful in the lead up and on the day for our wedding. We had them for our evening food and honestly what a hit!! A guest commented that it was the best pizza he’d ever had and many others had said such positive things. I hope Andreas a great future with his business and highly recommend for any event!

Carl was brilliant – couldn’t recommend him enough! We had the pleasure of hiring him for our wedding recently in Cheshire and we had a great experience. Really easy to communicate with him, we had no issues with him finding the venue or getting set up, in fact we didn’t even notice he was there till we saw someone eating pizza by the bar! The food was absolutely incredible, amazing handmade pizzas and flavours that pleased everyone! All our guests absolutely loved it! There was even a few left that we were scoffing in bed at the end of the night. For any event in the future I wouldn’t hesitate to ask him, and have recommended him to family and friends with events coming up. Thank you so much Carl!

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
