Booked for Birthday party

Absolutely fantastic experience. Ed was such a friendly guy, and very professional. The food was great, particularly the tapas selection. Ed even brought a choice of dessert as he knew we had two picky children to feed. I would highly recommend!

Booked for Birthday party

What a wonderful evening George laid on for us! From the start there was excellent communication and it was clear George was totally focussed on ensuring my guests had a great evening. On the night George turned up to a completely unknown kitchen but proceeded to produce everything from scratch. All the dishes were created with the freshest of ingredients and cooked to perfection. Authentically greek and oh my, they were so tasty! Every dish was greeted with gushing praise from my guests. It was a wonderfully relaxed, unrushed evening and at the end the kitchen was cleaned from top to bottom. So thank-you George and Airey, I would recommend your services without reservation.
