Luke Adey31 Mar 2025

Booked for Birthday party

Shaloma was absolutely fantastic from the point of me enquiring and asking for further details before even booking, right through the evening of the meal. She managed to serve 22 of us all on her own, with everyone ordering their own menu choices and whilst accommodating for veganism too. Absolutely cannot fault her and would use her again in a heartbeat (she's also an incredibly nice lady too!). Really helped to make my 30th birthday celebrations what they were, thanks again!

Booked for Private party

Found ABCHEF only a few days before my event and they managed to squeeze in my order at the very last minute. Amazing canapés - delicious - beautifully presented and an absolute hit with the guests.

Booked for Hen party

Will and Elaine were delightful! One of the best parts of the hen weekend! They provided a great service, polite, respectful and absolutely brilliant food! They cleaned everything after wards too! Great value for money! All of the guests loved the meals they had chosen! Thank you so much! I will be recommending you to others in Essex!

Booked for Birthday party

So happy with Big Slice pizza - great communication and great customer service - we had to adapt our numbers due to covid restrictions and they were really understanding and accommodating. On the day the service was faultless and the pizzas were delicious. Thank you so much - will spread the word for others to enjoy great pizza.

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.
