I ordered from Ben's 'Mother's Day' menu and it did not disappoint! Food was delicious, including kids meals, everything was ready for pick-up on time and instructions for heating in the oven make it so simple even I could get it right! Highly recommend!

What an amazing weekend supported by Ben and his amazing staff.As a formal Royal Air Force Chef of 10 years this is the first time I have handed the responsibility to caterers for my annual Christmas family get together. Being extremely picky I ask Ben to put together a finger Buffet and Full Dinner sit down.I gave a small brief but let Ben to go with the flow and put full trust in him.Well we wasn’t disappointed nothing was standard and the flavors were better than any of the top restaurants in London that I have experienced.I asked for it to feel casual and that I wanted the staff to blend in which they did even wearing at my request Christmas jumpers.I rarely recommend caterers as everyone has different opinions but I can say you can put your trust in Ben and his team it was truly exceptional. I will be using them again Thank you once again you made my family’s experience amazing. More...

Excellent Private Dining Experience! Booked Ben and Ellie, for an at home dining experience for my mum’s seventieth birthday. Able to cater for multiple tricky food allergies, whilst still serving some stunning food. Ellie and her daughter who came to the home, were so friendly and professional. Everyone had a lovely relaxed evening. Would highly recommend! Dietary restrictions: Multiple food allergies catered for, showed great knowledge of all allergens and was able to prepare wonderful tasting food. More...

If you want something special for your special occasion then look no further than The Box. Ben & Ellie Gobbi and their team were phenomenal when we celebrated our Golden Wedding Anniversary recently by holding a large Garden Party. From start to finish the event was faultless and the food - simply delicious! Ben is very creative with his menus and the service and delivery was impeccable.

Fabulous freshly prepared food (which is why booking is essential). Excellent menu choices - I had the veggie burger with halloumi - honestly the most delicious burger I have ever eaten. I also treated myself to a portion of chips (#guiltypleasure) . There aren’t enough superlatives to describe how wonderful they were. And to top it all Ben and his wife Eleanor are lovely.

A great find. We ordered fishcake starters as in the picture and two different main meals which were beautifully cooked and so easy to heat up in the oven. We enjoyed the meal so much we ordered again later in our week away. It was wonderful to find such good quality food which Ben delivered to our apartment in Milford Haven. Highly recommend it especially when you don't want to cook while away on holiday. We chose the oven ready versions rather than the plate ready as we could hear them up in our apartment. More...

I came across Ben's website while searching for a caterer for our private wedding reception. I asked for a quick chat & Ben called my mobile to discuss the food options for the wedding. Ben sent us a menu and gave us alternative options for fussy eaters and for a coeliac guest. We pre-ordered a 3-course meal for 11 guests for 5:30PM and Ben's wife Ellie delivered it to Narbeth. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, everyone chose something different but we all sat down and had dinner together at the table. I selected the fishcakes, risotto and cheesecake and they were all delicious! The heating instructions were easy to follow and Ellie was so helpful. I would highly recommend The Box by Ben Gobbi to cater for events such as weddings. You took the stress out of cooking and the meals were divine. Thank you both, you did a great job. More...

Been staying in wonderful Pembrokeshire for the week and we ordered fro Ben and Ellie twice during our stay. Food and service from these guys is outstanding and don't let takeaway put you off as Ben and Ellies food put to shame many of the stand alone restaurants and food places. If you don't try this you will miss one of the wonders of Pembrokeshire or Wales or the UK and I could go on. More...

Having struggled to get reservations at nearby restaurants during our stay in Pembrokeshire, we looked to get a take out from The Box by Ben Gobbi instead. Because our AirBnB didn't have an oven, Ben was very accommodating and kind enough to serve us everything as hot as possible so we could get it home without it getting cold. Everything was delicious, it was like eating restaurant-quality food at home, with really generous portions too. We were so impressed, that we went back to collect dinner the next day too. Shame we aren't local so can't visit again, but would recommend to anyone in the area! More...
