Booked for Anniversary

From the booking process to meeting our wonderful chef and waitress and to experiencing the outstanding gourmet food, everything was just perfect. Mario and Marta are professional and also lovely. Nothing was too much trouble and they made our 25th wedding anniversary as special as we wanted it to be. Highly recommend

Booked for Stag Party

Lee was absolutely brilliant catering for a 20 man stag do in a barn canterbury. Quick reponse, given that I contacted him less than 2 weeks before. His first suggested menu looked brilliant so we went with that. On the day he was happy to let himself in the Airbnb and get started with the cooking despite us not being there. When we returned from activities we were greeted with a banquet, which made things so easy. Perfect service, amazing food (Jack Daniels ribs, spirit soaked prawns, just what we were looking for!), and the cocktail at the end was a brilliant touch. Vege's were also well catered for. Would reccomend Lee to everyone in a heartbeat. Cheers!
