Booked for Birthday party

Javi prepared sangria, paella and tapas for 23 people. He came to our house and set up his cooking equipment on our patio. He’s quite a show man and produced amazing Spanish authentic food. Everyone enjoyed my daughter’s 30th birthday with a touch of Spanish sunshine. A great time was had by all. Thanks Javi! Cathy & Chris

Booked for Wedding

Steve was completely amazing at our wedding. Everything was made according to the schedule we provided and served up punctually. The food was completely delicious - everyone had enough food and really enjoyed it! Steve made a special portion for one of our guests who had a legumes allergy. No other special arrangements were necessary as the choice of paella and tapas satisfied most dietary requirements. Would definitely recommend Steve!

Booked for Birthday party

Richie was very responsive to emails and really professional throughout. Our party guests lived the outdoor paella and it was indeed very tasty and best thing was that we didn’t have to worry about preparation or clearing up! Food was ready for the agreed time and generally everything was just so easy so we could just enjoy the party!

Booked for Birthday party

So so happy! I had the best 30th and chef Lopez completed my event perfectly! The food was amazing, super professional and they fit in perfectly around a party of 30 people. Very good with communicating and as my first time of using a private chef I had a lot of questions and they were brilliant at getting back to me. Everyone loved it! Thank you so much will definitely recommend and be using again!

Booked for Birthday party

We had a fantastic evening, for my partner's 70th birthday. The food was outstanding (we did the tapas evening). Laur and Ryan did a wonderful job, and were so friendly and helpful. The table looked spectacular, and all the guests absolutely loved both the food and the atomosphere.

Booked for Private party

"staff arrived with all equipment and set up was quickly achieved. Food excellent! Portions plentiful and very tasty. Both the meat paella and fish paella received lots of complements from our members. Whilst the paella was cooking guests enjoyed the lovely aroma. Clearing up was quickly completed. Both Charli and Domingo were friendly but professional and very accommodating especially when the pans needed moving to berth some boats! Thank you Flying Pig Catering. We hope to use you again."

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.
