Booked for Anniversary

We had such a lovely and relaxed evening with Edward, I requested a few changes to the menu - to which he happily obliged, and the meal was fantastic. It was such a lovely meal and we can't stop talking about the food! Thank you to Edward and we will definitely be using him in the future for further bookings. Best Kat

Booked for Celebration

The menu was exactly as listed but with a few tweaks the chef did to make it his own. The overall experience was perfect- Andy our chef was great. Very professional and friendly as well as being able to cope with the air B and B kitchen set up and the fact that he was basically cooking in front of us for the whole night. We've already said we would use the service again and we're looking forward to picking the option for the menu. Smooth and easy to complete with poptop and dine indulge

Booked for Birthday party

The food was excellent, and beautifully presented -- we honestly don't know how they managed to keep things in order while transporting it. There was more than enough food for the two of us, and we managed to replicate a nice meal out, but at home. I highly recommend Misi, who was very proactive with communication on top of producing superb food.

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.
