Booked for Wedding

Fantastic food! Every single guest at our wedding commented on how good it was, even the fussier guests said it was delicious! Only disappointment was that Lucasz himself wasn't there to serve us!

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.
