I am so glad we chose rara caterers for my daughters christening. Very professional team and chef Pratap goes above and beyond to satisfy your needs and make sure you get best experience ever. Try Rara caterers for any events either at home or outdoors and you won’t be disappointed. And they have their own function room you can book as well. They will always be my first choice if I ever have to cater Indian food that’s for sure. Thank you so much for best food ever as each and every one of our guests loved it and gone for more 🙏

I bought this as a gift for my mother-in-law's birthday and it was fabulous. Prompt delivery and she said the food was fantastic. I was so happy with it, I ordered a second one for my parents who also thought it was wonderful. The poptop site was very easy to use and it was easy to contact Matei and poptop. I would highly recommend both the site and Matei's afternoon tea.

"Piggy Piggy Hog Roast catered for our recent garden party. We opted for the £495 option, basically 150 cobs and for an extra £50 we added pork 50 sausages and hotdog rolls to cater for the children and fussy eaters. Everyone was delighted with the food, the staff were absolutely lovely and we’d recommend them and use them again in a heartbeat. We had 85 guests, had pork and sausages left over."

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.
