Booked for Private party

Harry is great - he cooked a meal for 4 for my Dad's birthday. Super food, he talks you through the ingredients - a lot of which he produces himself - beautifully presented, great service, very reliable, and he left the kitchen spotless. We were extremely impressed!

Booked for Other Event

I booked Karl to cook for my parents at their place as one of my mum’s 70th birthday gifts. It’s not something they’d normally do and they were a little apprehensive. After the meal they sent me so many messages saying how amazing the food was, how professional Karl was and how sparkling clean the kitchen was afterwards. My dad said that he “hadn’t had roast beef as good as that ever before”. Mum said that “the apple tart was to die for”. They both said it was “superb” and couldn’t rate Karl and Sharon (waitress) highly enough, and would highly recommend them to other people. Thank you so much for making my mum’s 70th extra special.

Booked for Birthday party

I'm so glad we did this rather than cooking ourselves, it made for a really special evening. We were limited in terms of options due to covid rules (max 6), but I would definitely consider this as an alternative to dining out regardless of restrictions.

Booked for Birthday party

Tony was great, the food was beautifully presented and incredibly delicious. Also the booking process was efficient and very easy. We would definitely use this service again, our only regret was not taking pictures of the 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.

Your Culinary Wish Is My Command

🎉 New to Poptop

My menus are special because they are tailored to your exact preferences! Fine dining should be evocative and not restricted to just one cuisine - unless, of course, that's your preference - but a "cornucopia" of your favourites all together in one evening, be it a French canapé and a Japanese main! Your choices are made by me; collaboration is key to success.
