Booked for Private party

Meal advertised Devon beef but it was fried steak, that being said Chef should have ask how we all would like our steaks cooked as they wasn’t the best. But the service and staff were very nice and polite

Booked for Hen party

"The chef and his co worker were great, very pleasant, checked everything was ok, sorted them selves easily in the kitchen, laid the table etc - perfect! The food tasted great and they really looked after us. The only think I would say, is that it was probably a bit too much food, they could reduce the main slightly and the dessert too."

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.
