Spice It Up Bar B Q

We can't express how brilliant the evening food you did for our wedding was. Our venue really struggled with the wedding breakfast and lots of guests didn't have a full meal due to various issues, they were also not available to help you set up, but you got on with it and provided outstanding food. You pulled it out of the bag and provided evening food for our guests that far exceeded our expectations and made everyone forget about how bad the wedding breakfast was!

Thank you

Debbie & Kelly were absolutely brilliant!
Food was plentiful and fantastic with a great range of choices.
Catered easily for our gluten free and vegan guests.
Cannot recommend highly enough.

We held a corporate event at our premises, Debbie was great to deal with and we were able to discuss a slight change to the 'menu' as we already had dessert and drinks catered for at the party, this was no problem for them and made everything so much easier! The food was fantastic and we would not hesitate to use Spice It Up again in the future!! Massive thanks to Debbie and her team for playing such a great part in helping to make our event memorable and successful!

Great food and friendly service.
Catered for special dietary requirements for individual guests.
Very clean and tidy after the event. Fully self sufficient. Great characters which added to the experience for all our guests.
Highly recommended.

Great food and service. They arrived on time and were very efficient. Food was served hot and very professional

Fantastic service from Debbie and the team the food was amazing and communication and service was excellent

Just brilliant, thank you so much!

Great food, lovely hosts - very responsive and accommodating. Would definitely recommend. :)

Brilliant service from the Spice it Up team, very accommodating, super value for money and a great addition to our event.

Absolutely brilliant. Debbie and her co-host were amazing ladies who served up the most fabulous tasting food which tantalized the taste buds from the second it went on the BBQ. The smell was gorgeous and it tasted even better. It was superb. Would definitely recommend Spice It Up to anyone who wants to make their event special.

Absolutely excellent, everyone loved the food, served hot and on time. Would definitely use for events in the future.

What a lovely experience. The food was delicious and very well prepared. The ladies were amazing. So friendly and obviously cared about their product and the way they prepared and presented it.
We had a large family gathering in a field on a farm and they brought an extra Ray of sunshine into the proceedings.
Even after we had all eaten they prepared extras for us to use later or another day despite them having travelled 3 hours to get to us .... Bravo Ladies...Respect...would definitely use them again

Spice It Up we're fantastic! On a scorching hot day, Debbie and her colleague continually served a never-ending queue of people with the most delicious food, and were still smiling at the end! They were definitely the most popular choice on the day!
I absolutely recommend Spice IT Up and would book again without hesitation.
Thank you so much ladies xx

They were very friendly and the food was sensational.
The staff really appreciated it and I’ve been told by then that it was like a taste of the Caribbean.

Wow, awesome. Spice-it-up was fantastic. Really made my dad-in-laws 70th birthday extremely special. Debbie and Kelly just turned up and put everything together. The concept is a great idea, all self-contained in the garden and wonderfully put together.
The food was lovely and well presented, I really enjoyed the fillet salmon stuffed with callaloo and spinach, stuffed peppers and the chickpea & sweet potato curry. The choice was extensive and a nice range of salads too. The food platter was plentiful and well presented. The guests really enjoyed the food and the wide variety was above everyone's expectations. It was all reasonably priced.
The interaction with Debbie from beginning to end, was quick and easy. We booked Spice-it-up at short notice as the celebration was a last-minute thing. I'm so glad our celebration was in October, because I'm sure if it was summer Spice-it-up would have been booked out at least multiple weeks prior.
They are wonderful ladies and I wish them success in their future endeavours. Would definitely love to book them again, they are the best Caribbean caterers that An exceptional culinary experience.
Debbie & Kelly, thank you.

We used Spice it Up BBQ for a corporate garden party after finding them on Poptop. Debbie was a great help from the beginning, assisting with the menu choices, giving us the flexibility to add and swap things to cater for various dietary requirements of our guests. The food and service on the day was amazing. Delicious, tasty food that all our guests enjoyed! I would highly recommend using Debbie and her team.

Massive big up to the spice it up ladies for making my sons 2nd birthday such a special 1. Everyone said the food was lush and would highly recommend this professional service

Debbie and her food were amazing. 100% reliable, good contact and amazing food. I can honestly say they made our corporate event!

Debbie kept in touch before the party by email and phone, she arrived with her crew on time around 3hours before the party started, promptly set up and started cooking the food, they set out salads, cutlery and sauces and told us when the food was ready. We had around 50 to feed, our guests enjoyed the food so much they went back for 2nd and 3rd servings!! There was more than enough food to go around, plus I gave Debbie containers to box up leftovers which we ate the day after!! the ingredients they use are top quality, they cook carribean food to perfection, and Debbie cooks the mutton curry herself which is amazzzzing! everything was so delicious, the food was a hit for our guests and I am sure they will be for anyone that hires them, I would highly recommend Spice it up, thank you so much 😊

Amazing experience from start to finish.
Arrived on time and the set up worked really well!!
People couldn’t get over how nice the food was, all next day that’s all people in the office was talking about, and how even the food they took home still tasted like it was just off the grill.
I 100% recommend Debbie, real Jamaican dishes with flavour, and even catered for our dietary requirements (halal and plant based dishes) I without a doubt will be using her in the future.
I made the right choice,😊
Thanks again!!!

The service experience from start to finish was outstanding..Hats off to Debbie & Naomi for the level of customer service given as nothing was too much for them. The evening went down a treat with all the guests fed well with top quality food. What’s left to say accept watch this space as I’ll definitely be using your services again. If your looking for a catering service, Spice It Up BBQ is a no brainer. Thanks for making my birthday an even better one!

Such a great experience - Debbie & co confirmed what time we wanted to start serving food then arrived and set everything up in time for that, and their setup made queuing and choosing your food really easy. They didn't need a power source as everything was BBQ'ed, and it was DELICIOUS! Lots of choice (though most people went for some of everything!), dietary requirements (veggie, vegan and Halal) were all well catered for and absolutely everything was provided - plates (actually boxes, for ease of carrying) cutlery, napkins, condiments, salads, sauces and masses of amazing food. Many people came up to me (the party organiser) during the event to say how great the food was, and some people even took boxes of leftovers home - one person said the curried mutton was the best thing about the entire party! We'd book them again without hesitation - everything was hot, fresh, full of flavour and just a bit different from a standard British BBQ :)

It was an amazing experience. Debbie and Julie were fantastic very professional, food was superb in particular the stuffed sea bass. Would definitely use them again and recommend to anyone.

Absolutely brilliant- the ladies were really lovely and friendly, the food was amazing! Everyone loved the variety and quality of the dishes, and there was loads left to take home too. I would 100% recommend Spice It Up BBQ- thank you for an awesome evening!

Fantastic, on time and delicious. Couldn’t of asked for more, thank you.

Our group of 20 was absolutely delighted with the food and service from Spice It Up BBQ. Thank you!

The food was delicious, full of flavour and plenty to go round. I was so busy talking to everyone that I didnt go up for the food but the guy serving it noticed I hadn't had any and came over to see if he should put me some out which I thought was a lovely gesture. Would definitely use them again

Outstanding food and service, would recommend. We had so many people asking for their details. Very good indeed

Excellent food and excellent service!! Debbie was a doll from day one!! When we first booked she let us visit us at an event that she was holding to taste the food. From that day our taste buds were set! On the day of the event everyone could not stop asking where she found our caterer from... Livy comments on the food!! Thank you so much Debbie and staff you guys were amazing!!

Absolutely amazing ladies who couldn't have done more to make our sons 21st birthday go any better. Guest of honour was almost 2 hours late but this didn't faze them food was still perfect guests were having at least 2 servings and taking some home there was so much choice. Every guest commented on how fantastic it was to have something different. I couldn't recommend highly enough. Thank you x

The ladies at spice it up were amazing couldn’t recommend them enough

Can't thank Spice It Up enough for the food - food was excellent and went down very well with our African guests. Would definitely recommend and hope to use them again soon!

Simply amazing!! Arrived at the agreed time with setup and presentation well organized. Had the guests licking their fingers and commenting on how amazing the food was. Service was excellent and the event was a total success. Would definitely reccomend.

Debbie and her girls did an amazing job for us to celebrate our eldest sons graduation and our youngests 21st. The food was amazing and so much of it - enough for all the rugby boys to have seconds, if not thirds and still leftovers. Everyone was very impressed with the variety, taste and quality of the food. Would thoroughly recommend Spice it up BBQ - great people to deal with, always smiling and extremely professional. Hope we can do it all again very soon 😊

Spice it Up were great. We had a Garden Party for 80 doctors and their families and the food was delicious especially the Jerk Chicken and steak skewers. The 3 who came on the day were brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble and they even boxed up the leftovers for us in separate containers. I have no hesitation in recommending the Spice it Up team and we are trying to look for an excuse to have them back!!!

Professional service
Amazing food
Great portion size

Absolutely perfect. No complaints whatsoever even from our fussiest eaters. You made our final event of the year so memorable. Thank you again!

Fantastic spread and great value too! Everyone all enjoyed. the food!

The staff were very professional and the food was wide ranging having both vegan and vegetarian options and a great selection of traditional Jamaican food, the buffet was also excellent.

"Absolutely fantastic food and lovely ladies!

The food went down so well with our guests at the wedding we have had people asking how they can get more!

The only criticism we have is regarding cutlery. No knives were provided making it a little tricky for some of our guests to eat the jerk chicken. We had plenty of knives of our own however it would have been a little smoother if they were included at the time.

The fact that is our ONLY criticism should be evidence of just how amazing these ladies are.

A massive thank you again to Debs and her team.

P.s. The dumplings were the best bit!"

We were very happy with Spice It Up BBQ. The food was great (particularly the curry mutton). Debbie was regularly in touch before the event to make sure they were bringing everything we needed. They offered a very competitive price. Small point- if its possible to serve more people at once (3 servers maybe?) it would have made the queues smaller, but other than that everything was perfect. Thanks Debbie!

The chefs for our occasion were very good indeed. The food was well cooked and much enjoyed by all. The staff were friendly and personable. I would highly recommend Spice It Up! Many thanks to Dennis, Corinne and Natanya. They worked very hard to give us all a good meal!

I really can't recommend Debbie highly enough. The menu was exactly what we were looking for and on the evening she had arrived and was set-up in plenty of time so that the food was available when we needed it. The food itself was excellent, well prepared and tasty with good options for a number of vegetarian and vegan guests as well as a wonderful goat curry. Would certainly book them again if I was organising another event. Thanks Debbie

We wanted something different for our party and Spice it Up Bbq delivered on all levels! Debbie and Kelly arrived exactly on time and set up with little fuss providing a feast to be proud of. All our guests were blown away by the quality and quantity of food the girls were polite and very proffesional i would not hesitate in recommending Spice IT up Bbq for your party!

A great event, Debbie from Spice It Up BarBQ was very friendly and accommodating.

"Friendly staff, arrived on time. Very professional.
Food was appreciated and enjoyed by all who attended the event.
Would definately recommend (already have to friends and family), would use again for other events."

We booked Spice it Up to cater for 150 guests who are mostly over 50. The feedback from them was outstanding with lots commenting that it was the best commercial BBQ they had ever had. We were delighted with the quality and quantity of the food , including puddings. The team were fantastic. They were professional, really friendly and hard working. They are a well oiled machine!! We shall definitely use them again if we need a BBQ for lots of people and we can totally recommend them.

The girls were brilliant. When we got there they were all set up and ready to serve our guests. Everyone commented on how good the food was. Would recommended them to all our friends and would definitely contact them again for any future events.

"Wow, Debbie and the team were incredible.
On a severely snowy day in March when many of our other vendors were struggling to turn up, they battled their way through the snow with no complaints and supplied hot delicious food in the bitter cold throughout.
There were a variety of communication needs at this event but Debbie and the team took this in their stride and were professional, courteous and efficient throughout.
We will certainly be using them again in the future as being able to cope so tremendously in such challenging circumstances, keeping staff and attendees well fed with delicious food, speaks to their absolute quality.
Thank you so much Spice Ot Up Bar BQ; we couldn’t have done this event without you!"

Amazing customer service made my 30th birthday one to remember the food was delicious they were very welcoming and friendly Debbie is lovely and supportive words can not express how thankful I am and how happy I am with the high level of service spice it up BBQ your amazing

Superb food and fantastic service Debbie was very helpful

We are super happy we chose Debbie and her sister at Spice It Up Bar B Q! These two ladies know how to cook and we had nothing but positive feedback from their selection of Caribbean grub. Debbie was easily contactable with the lead up to our wedding, she also was flexible when we asked to swap a couple of things from the menu she proposed. We were keen to have Caribbean food for the hearty home cooking. Half of the family are Jamaican and it felt the perfect cuisine for us as we officially got married in Aruba, one of the Caribbean islands. There was plenty of food, and the ladies didn't let any go to waste, allowing guests to take it home. The finishing touches these two brought was even more than we hoped, extremely friendly and welcoming to the mile long queue of guests they had to serve. If anyone wants a wedding meal with a twist, and plenty of food to go around to all of your guests, we'd recommend Spice it up Bar B Q.

Food was good, service was good

Excellent service and support from Spice it Up. Arrived early, set up was not a problem and the food was amazing. Big thanks to Spice it Up team. Hopefully having more events in the future and Spice it Up definitely on our list. Cheers to Poptop too - the booking was smooth and easy.

We had Debbie cook our food for a football event. Cooking for 100 people, the food was excellent serving a variety if carribean food. Debbie was excellent in feeding more then we anticipated due to more young people turning up. She had enough food to cover everyone. I would highly recommend her. We are in reading and she came from Birmingham arriving with plenty of time to cook. We will be using spice it up for many more tournaments held at the madejski stadium. 5 star rating from us at reading fc.

"Spice it Up catered for my Fathers Farewell Celebration (funeral). At an already sad and stressful time, Spice It Up took the weight off our shoulders catering for 200 guests. The staff were smartly dressed, friendly and professional , which is key for me.
I was taken back by the smooth and efficient organisation of the service. The food was beautifully prepared , fresh, hot and really tasty ! Would definitely use them again!!
Thank you to Debbie and her team xx"

"Spice it Up BBQ were amazing! Debbie was really easy to communicate with before the event and on the day they were lovely - punctual and friendly and with gorgeous food. I could not recommend them highly enough. Thank you so much. All of our wedding guests commented on how great the food was - most of them had at least two helpings!
We would not hesitate to recommend them.
Rachel"

Debbie & Corinne (sorry if I've spelt that wrong) did a fab job with our work social BBQ. The food was fab, everyone, even the long term burger n hotdog people tried and loved the food - we even had a very happy and full vegan which is pretty unusual for a BBQ. The girls were a great laugh too yet still professional. I wouldn't hesitate in using again or recommending this company

Spice it up bar b q were amazing! The food was delicious and didn't seem to stop coming. Both ladies cooking were all smiles and happy to help. I can not recommend them enough. They catered a birthday barbecue for my cousins 21st in our back garden for around 60 guests (majority being rugby players) and left everyone satisfied. They even cooked our extra halumi we brought on the barbecue as an extra (preferred options for our vegiterian guest). I can not recommend their services enough.

I booked Spice IT Up Bar BQ for my wedding in May 19 and would highly recommend this company. Professional and quick to respond to questions and queries, but most importantly the food was amazing - great variety and excellent value for money. Our wedding guests were very happy :o)

"Debbie and her team catered for our mixed Caribbean wedding of approx 125 day guests on 4th August 2018, throughout the whole planning process Debbie was always so helpful and accommodating when choosing our menus etc,
On the actual day Debbie and her team did a fantastic job there wasn’t a single glitch, the food was just delicious cooked the genuine Caribbean way and authentic tastes, all our guests were commenting on how good the food was and how professional yet friendly the team were,
Food was bought out into our marquee steaming hot and big portions!
I fully recommend Spice it up bbq, you will not be disappointed, our expectations were exceeded, thanks so much Debbie- great job!!!"

Spice it Up BarBQ was friendly, patient and informative while we sorted out the event. The were courteous, professional and accommodating when they set up and served over our 2 day event. They have an efficient set up which means they can quickly get through a queue. They provided vegetarian, and halal meals, catering to the diverse group that we had on hand and very good price per head. I would highly recommend them and hope to have them again next year at our event.

"The girls came down to Oxfordshire for a gathering of 60 at our house.
Everyone loved the food! They did a fabulous job keeping everyone fed in the extreme heat of 30o plus the BBQ heat.
Made a lovely change from sausages and burgers.!!
Highly recommended, and would definitely use again."

Fantastic company I booked unsure and Debbie was helpful and took the time to contact me and tslk over menus . I would highly recommend this company . We ended up cancelling our wedding and ì contacted Debbie and with in 30 mins I had a refund . Loveky friendly and I will defo be using them soon . Thank you so much for your help and support with getting my wedding food menu stirred. Take care speck soon xx

Booked Spice It Up Bar BQ for a sales kick off for our entire company. Debbie and team arrived early morning and immediately got to work. The large grill barbecues produced great food that was well appreciated by all of our staff. The menu was varied and all delicious and incredibly good quality given our budget. They served food for 2 hours, all with large smiles, catering to our staffs every demand. Great food, great people and a good price, would definitely recommend and use again.

Our event wouldn't be a success without Debbie and her team, food was amazing! 100% would have hire them again.

Thank you so much spice it up bbq for your amazing work you made my 30th birthday so special customer service was of high quality the way you interacted with all the guest was amazing The food was of high quality fresh and delicious and everybody was absolutely happy You’re definitely at five star rating and more

Debbie catered for my 40th birthday party last Saturday and she and her team were excellent and the food was amazing! Lots of compliments about it from my guests. Debbie was really friendly and lovely to deal with and nothing was too much trouble. I'd really recommend Spice It Up BBQ.

"I honestly can’t recommend this company enough.
They catered for a 3 course sit down meal (served to the table) for 75 guests and prepared the buffet for our night time guests. Debbie has great communication and even set up the room for us, they are the perfect alternative to traditional wedding food, the staff were extremely lovely and maintained a smile all day.

The food was beautiful, all of our guests have said they’ve never left a wedding so full and wished they could take some home. They catered for every person in the room even adding gammon for my elderly Nan.
There is not one bad thing I can say about Spice It Up BBQ they are incredible people with incredible food and I highly recommend them."

"This team is one of the UKs best kept caribbean secrets, I hope more people choose to spice up their event with Spice it Up BBQ instead of choosing the basic (and boring) traditional hog roast or 'beige food' buffet.

Thanks so much to Debbie and the team who came and catered 100 guests at our wedding party in Chester on Easter weekend. We had a great day, Debbie and the team came to set up and cook without needing me on hand.

All our guests complimented the great caribbean food, all were well catered for - vegos, meat eaters and a coeliac, so much that people went back for seconds and third servings.

We'd like to thank the team for a great event and wish you all the best.

Deborah and Susie"

Deb was super professional and timely with all her correspondence leading up to the event. Deb and her sis arrived on time to the event with the yummy food piping hot and ready to be served. We would recommend Spice it Up and we would use them again for an event! Thank you again!

Couldn't speak more highly of spice it up bbq. They liased with us up until the event and provided a delicious range of carribean foods to suit everyones taste. It was a brilliant night and every person commented on how good the food was. I will definitely be using them for future events and have been asked for their details by lots of people! Overall delicious food, really professional and very friendly!
