Booked for Birthday party

Sean and Kerry were fantastic throughout the whole process! The communication prior to the event was great - we were able to discuss the arrangements by phone or email, and Sean was happy for us to determine the menu. The quality and presentation of the food was excellent. We can highly recommend HMD Catering for a friendly and professional service.

Booked for Birthday party

It was a special birthday and retirement dinner party. We were extremely happy with Nick,s performance. The food was of an excellent quality and cooked to perfection. Nick is a very nice guy and was happy to offer explanation regarding the dishes he has prepared. Nothing was a problem, he felt in our kitchen as in his own and whatever the issue he has encountered, he offered a solution and had a general "can do" attitude. Highly recommended if you want to eat in style at home without a fuss of cooking yourself.

Booked for Private party

"We were thrilled with the quality of Black Truffle Catering's canapes for our private house party. The range of canapes offered was excellent and our guests all gave great feedback about the quality and taste of the food. The set up was a breeze for us and allowed us to simply enjoy our event without having to worry about service or the cleanup. I would highly, highly recommend this excellent and competitively priced caterer without hesitation."

Booked for Private party

We had a great time during our baby shower and everybody agreed that the food was amazing. It was really great to have Mariola from Black Truffle helping us throughout the process. She catered to our needs, gave us really interesting food options and on the day she excelled with flavour. I really recommend Black Truffle because they have tons of options and Mariola is very good at answering emails and responding to queries.

Booked for Birthday party

"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.
