Laura Martin21 Jul 2025

Good communication from the supplier. Arrived in plenty of time to set up for our event. Lovely friendly staff and was a firm favourite amongst staff out of the 3 cuisines we had.

Toni Richards19 Jun 2025

Spencer cooked an excellent paella. We had many positive comments from our guests. The portions were good and there was enough for a few second helpings. The cost per person was reasonable in comparison to some, with no reduction in quality. I would definitely use Spanglish again.

Emily Howse12 Nov 2023

Nick and Tieagan were very nice people, very friendly and the pizzas were excellent! They were also extremely good at communicating prior to our event and timekeeping was great. We would recommend them! Thank you both

Jade Cummings19 Aug 2021

Amazing! Our guests were extremely happy with the food and made a point to let us know how good it was - many going back for 2nds and 3rd helpings! Shahid quickly responded to messages and the team were friendly and professional on the day - I would definitely book again and highly recommend.
