Booked for Birthday party

Colin and our waitress Caz arrived on time to prepare and serve the most delicious meal "Taste of the Cotswolds ". We were a party of 9 and it was enjoyed by everyone from 8 - 80yrs. The table was beautifully decorated with fresh flowers and foliage, much appreciated as in keeping with the eco nature of the Cotswold Lakes where we were staying. Colin always replied to my emails beforehand and addressed any issues I raised. The kitchen was left immaculate, with nothing left for us to do,except wash our glasses as we were still celebrating when they left! We wouldn't hesitate to book them again

Booked for Birthday party

Matthew and his colleague Marc Davis prepared and served a wonderful three course meal for my husbands surprise birthday party at Parnacott House, Devon. It was the first time I'd hired a chef but Matthew made the whole experience stress free . He listened to my brief and offered a suggested menu . He was very helpful when I asked for some amendments and tweaks to suit the taste of my guests. The evening went perfectly and m y husband and our guests were all very impressed by the whole event. It was executed professionally and calmly.led by Matthew who has a good sense of humour ably assisted by Marc .

Booked for Celebration

Ian was very personable and affable and his food was absolutely delicious. He was very accommodating with all of our requests and interesting to talk to. It was an all-round great experience. We will definitely be booking him again.

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.
