David Cox15 Jul 2024

Booked for Birthday party

Rupert was amazing throughout, and the comms were prompt and clear. Most importantly the food was great, and there was plenty of it, so nothing but praise for Rupert and his team. My only constructive comment would be that despite explaining to his service team several times the different foods suitable for allergies, vegans etc..., the team forgot what they were, so it may be worth having a 'cheat sheet' ready for the servers, so they can be certain what everything is. However, this is a very minor observation, as on the whole I think Gibbons catering offered a fabulous spread at a very competitive price, and I will definitely be using them again in future, and would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

Booked for Bridal shower

Chef Hunt was so professional and the food was absolutely divine. He catered for 13 of us and it was a great experience, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! He was early on arrival and left the kitchen in the exact same state, if not cleaner! Could not recommend him anymore, thank you!

Booked for Private party

Sadly, due to Covid restrictions Kate could not come and cook for us at home. Instead, she prepared all the food and delivered it to our door. We simply heated and enjoyed it. The food was absolutely spot on. Delicious!! There was also enough to enjoy the next day too 😁. Will be contacting Kate to set up something when restrictions are relaxed.

Booked for Hen party

"The chef and his co worker were great, very pleasant, checked everything was ok, sorted them selves easily in the kitchen, laid the table etc - perfect! The food tasted great and they really looked after us. The only think I would say, is that it was probably a bit too much food, they could reduce the main slightly and the dessert too."

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.
