Booked for Celebration

Chef Pat did exactly as he said he would do - delivered great fresh food, on time, with a minimum of fuss and then cleared everything away so that at the end it looked like he'd never been there. A great service overall - thank you to Chef Pat.

Booked for Celebration

The Cluster Kitchen were brilliant, we cannot praise them highly enough. From stepping in at the last minute for a joint 50th Birthday celebration, Kash and his team were excellent from start to finish. Arrived on time and set up the table which looked amazing, and the food was absolutely delicious! Thank you Cluster Kitchen for helping us out and adding to our amazing night! You guys are the best!

Booked for Hen party

Thoroughly enjoyed my experience. The food was really good and there was plenty of it. Unfortunately I requested nit free for one of the guests and the chef didn't do this. Apart from that, we all thoroughly enjoyed.

Booked for Birthday party

Matt cooked for our whole family as part of weekend of celebrations for a 40th birthday and I can honestly say it was one of the best meals we have had. Not only was the food fantastic the service Matt offered was every bit as good. If you’re looking for restaurant style and quality food then look no further. We would definitely use Matt again and would recommend him to anyone.

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.
