We loved it and would highly recommend it to anyone with children interested in getting a unique birthday cooking experience! Edward was great with the two kids - he involved them in all of the activities and answered their nonstop questions. The food was delicious at the end - would do again and hopefully for an adults only event in the future!

I booked a Sunday lunch for 20 people in a holiday rental property. Laur Florea contacted me very quickly and all the communication with him in arranging the event was easy and quick. The roast was absolutely first rate as were the team that came on the day. 100% recommend potop and Laur Florea

The experience of having a chef in our home was truly wonderful, allowing us to enjoy our special occasion and family time together. Karl was punctual, polite, friendly and left the kitchen looking immaculate after he'd finished cooking for us as a party of 10 people. Oh, and didi I mention how tasty the food was?? Ok, he was probably on a dead cert because we'd discussed together what the menu should be, and agreed a 3 course lunch to satisfy 3 generations... Yes, it was really lovely. Thoroughly recommend the whole service. Enjoy!

From the moment Terry arrived he was a true professional, ensuring that our meal was served on time to a really high standard. We were really impressed with the quality of the food and how beautifully presented it was. Terry was an absolute hero, going above and beyond. We were all very grateful to him for such excellent service. Thank you Terry

This was one of the best decisions I made for a hen party I organised. They whole process was easily put together and the value for money was extraordinary. The chef was prompt and wonderful to work with for an evening dinner party and the food was incredible. I will definitely be recommending this one and will look at working with them again in the future.

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.
