Booked for Birthday party

Stuart was fantastic and we can’t stop talking about how great the food was! Would highly recommend, and will try to rebook if we can.

Booked for Private party

Chef Eugen arrived on-time and presented our party with a very nice service. The Thursday night event exceeded my expectations and helped to set the tone for an awesome rehearsal dinner on Friday and wedding at Eastnor Castle on Saturday.

Booked for Birthday party

Thank you so much Paul for your incredible service and delicious food. You were extremely professional and I would highly recommend you to friends and family and will definitely use your services again in the future. Thank you for making my wife’s 40th extra special.

Ann Ratcliffe4 May 2021

Booked for Birthday party

Kate recently catered a small family 40th birthday at my home. We had gone through a unexpected emotional/personal situation and Kate handled it all with the greatest empathy and respect, whilst producing some amazing food for everyone. We have some dietary issues within our family and Kate covered every angle for us. She managed to make the evening feel very special for us, as well as leaving my kitchen pristine, with everything cleared away etc. Would certainly recommend not only Kate's food, but her professionalism, calm approach and friendliness without being intrusive. We plan to use Konoba (Kate) again very soon and wish her every success with her business. (The Ratcliffe Family)

Booked for Stag Party

The chefs who popped by were really lovely and extremely professional. The food was absolutely delicious and went down a storm. Everyone was full and happy by the end of the meal. The value for money was incredible.

Booked for Christmas party

Nelson was a delight, very professional and friendly. The food was amazing and our whole party would rate him very highly, one of our group is a chef himself and he said he could not fault him. Thank you Nelson for making our early Christmas celebration very enjoyable. We hope to book you again for next year.

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.
