We had Stone Artisan Pizzas cater our ‘night before the wedding’ party and they were brilliant. Bobs and Suze were super efficient, friendly and the pizzas were delicious. Highly recommend as they made the process stress free and the pizzas were amazing.

Booked for Stag Party

Simon and team cooked up a delicious three-course meal for our event, it truly made the night special. I should also mention that Simon and his team were a lovely group of people! Communication in the lead up was top notch and Simon was happy to cater for a number of dietary requirements among our group. Thank you so much for an unforgettable evening, would highly recommend.

Booked for Wedding

Greg was an extraordinary chef and caterer. He brought everything that was needed for the event and prepared all the food in time. But most importantly, the food he prepared was delicious and of the highest quality - everyone in the event loved every dish. Greg also catered for intolerances to both lactose and gluten without compromising quality. I would hire Greg again without a second thought, and would recommend it to anyone for any event.

Booked for Private party

We hired Josh for a tasting menu for two people. The food was of very high quality, and Josh himself struck a perfect balance between being professional and friendly. We had already recommended him to someone before the night was over and would definitely book with 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.
