Booked for Private party

All ~150 attendees of the event greatly enjoyed all the food provided, so much so that the vast majority had seconds or even thirds! Professional, yet friendly staff, well-prepared food and a quality stall. Well worth the price.

Booked for Birthday party

Candy Floss Crazy attended my 50th "festival" themed party and were absolutely excellent. Everyone remarked how amazing the food was and it was all done with a smile and good humour. Ian and Paris were both so lovely and very easy to work with and I would have no hesitation in recommending them again. The value for money was second to none. Thanks again and see you at my 51st!

Booked for Corporate Function

Such a great experience - Debbie & co confirmed what time we wanted to start serving food then arrived and set everything up in time for that, and their setup made queuing and choosing your food really easy. They didn't need a power source as everything was BBQ'ed, and it was DELICIOUS! Lots of choice (though most people went for some of everything!), dietary requirements (veggie, vegan and Halal) were all well catered for and absolutely everything was provided - plates (actually boxes, for ease of carrying) cutlery, napkins, condiments, salads, sauces and masses of amazing food. Many people came up to me (the party organiser) during the event to say how great the food was, and some people even took boxes of leftovers home - one person said the curried mutton was the best thing about the entire party! We'd book them again without hesitation - everything was hot, fresh, full of flavour and just a bit different from a standard British BBQ :)

Booked for Celebration

Was so nice to have a chef to come and cook for us for a change. The food was delicious and the presentation was lovely. Even the little details of the flowers on the table. The chef and staff were very friendly and polite. I will definitely use again for future events.

Booked for Birthday party

Worth every penny and more! Simply amazing As the host of the party I wanted to hire caterers to take the pressure off. I've never done this before and initially it felt like a gamble. BSK's communication was fantastic which completely put my mind at ease. We discussed the party set-up and menu requirements to a point where I felt that I could trust them completely. The menu was flexible and catered for everyone, I have to say the Vegan burgers were incredible. They provided large portions of food using high quality of ingredients. All food was served in takeaway boxes with cutlery which meant that tidying up was a breeze. On the morning of the party Les and Alex turned up early to set-up and were an incredible team. They were so respectful of the environment that they were working in. All of our guests commented on how lovely the guys were, service with a smile every time! We received so many comments on how good the food was and what a great idea it was to get caterers in for the party. They were a huge success. There was no way we would have been able to create a feast anywhere as good as the food they produced. We had guests of all ages and they all raved about the quality of the food. I would not hesitate to recommend BSK and will certainly be reaching out to them again in the future. Thank you so much guys - simply amazing Sarah
