Booked for Anniversary

Delicious locally sourced food (we had a really foody with us who was very very happy!)… delivered by a lovely team and just excellent service. Thank you!

Matt Conby24 Oct 2023

Booked for Birthday party

I would highly recommend Edward, he was great to deal with from start to finish, very good communication even before we had finalised the booking to ensure the experience would be excellent. The food was excellent, the steak just melted in your mouth. We had an open plan kitchen diner, so Edward was always in the same area as the party, he was engaging when required and respectful at other times. At the end of the meal Edward left the kitchen clean and tidy. Thank you Edward, we will definitely book again for any future needs

Booked for Birthday party

Thank you Christian for making my wife’s 40th birthday meal happen when we were still stuck in lockdown! Food was wonderful and beautifully presented, and the whole experience really was better than going to a restaurant. Thanks for a memorable evening

Booked for Private party

Karl from Simply just Good Food provided fantastic food and service. We had a grazing table one evening and then a 3 course meal the next. The food was delicious and Karl and his team left the venue so tidy with nothing for us to do except chill out after a fantastic meal! Would highly recommend.

"Can't praise this company enough!! They delivered a superb hot buffet to my daughters hen party . They drove to us in bitterly cold weather and we were so delighted that they travelled so far to bring us such a lovely meal . Many thanks Janet Roberts X"

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.

Hosting a private dinner for your family and friends? I am offering a delicious Pakistani/Indian 5-course meal. I ask you all to have the same dishes. I will arrive 2 hours early before you like to eat. This gives me time to set up and introduce myself. I prepare 60% of the food before I arrive. I use all local farmer's ingredients fresh and organic.

About supplier

With over 15 years in the catering industry, I have developed a passion and love sharing with my clients. I enjoy getting to know my clients on a personal level and love seeing their reactions to my food. This Chef experience is lovingly prepared and inspired by South Asian food.
