Booked for Celebration

Romuald was great! He was really friendly and accommodating of our requests (nut free menu). He called me before to understand what the celebration was for and explain what would happen on the day. The food was great and beautifully presented! We would definitely recommend. The Poptop website was easy to use and I’d definitely use it again.

Booked for Anniversary

We have already received a big thank you from some of our guests who were very impressed with Fabio from Versatile Chef, particularly with the quality of the Beef Wellington and the Chocolate Sponge pudding. We very much hope to be able to do the same thing again. I have already started to recommend the idea to fellow walkers from our 300 member walking group. Many thanks Sue and Steve Naylor

Booked for Celebration

Booked a private chef to celebrate a 60th Birthday. Easy process and communication good. Mike delivered an outstanding meal to celebrate. Choice of meals was good and our final choice was perfect. We would definitely book Mike again when the occasion arises. Value for money, good quality food superbly cooked by Mike

Booked for Anniversary

Ordered as a lockdown anniversary treat. It was lovely, except the beetroot coleslaw did leak over almost everything (but I blame that on couriers mishandling the parcel!). Other than that it was more than enough food and we both enjoyed it. Thank you Nicola! Xx

Booked for Other Event

Paul and Maureen catered for a family celebration in Brighton and it was exactly what we wanted. The menu was delicious and interesting and the whole evening was very professional. I would definitely book again. Thanks a lot, James Daley

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.
