Treated ourselves to an afternoon tea, and we were not disappointed. It was yummy. My girls were delighted with their children's boxes. We set them up with a Teddy bears picnic, while my husband and I pretended to have a date in the other room! Thank you. More...

This company was amazing! Due to being let down at the last minute, Martin saved the day after contacting him only a few days before the event. Service amazing and wow the hog roast was absolutely delicious and so much food!! Will definately use again and highly recommend to anyone. Thank you Martin and his lovely daughter for being part of our event. More...

Sadly we didn’t even get to try the food as they failed to come back to us a lot to finalise our booking. Said they had been really busy which is great but then failed twice to contact us with the details to arrange as promised. In the end we didn’t feel confident with the service provided and didn’t want to risk it not being sorted for our daughters birthday party as we still yet have to have the details and menus sent 😞 More...

What’s your signature dish?
Well this is a heard one fo us, we both have different ideas, i would say i don't have one, as i love just using great local produce, love the waters we have around us and the forest lands, so to me i would say its all about the seasons and using great fresh ingredients. Jamies signature dish is probably his steak ranchero which is beef and chorizo in a creamy chilli sauce, does taste amazing!!
How do you go about creating the perfect menu for your clients?
Most importantly is to listen to what the client wants, and we believe our job then is to expand on that and offer similar options, but the client should always have the final say and input
What do you love most about your job?
Fo us, it meeting people and seeing there face when the job is done, we love being part of someones event, planning what were going to cook, getting excited about the flavours the meats or fish we can use and then interacting with them, while cooking up a treat for there guests.
What inspired you to start your own business?
We both have families and wanted more of a work life balance, while building something for our childrens future. but we still have a passion for great food, so doing this gives us the work / life balance we wanted rather then having to sacrifice our passion of great food for a 9-5 job.
Why should our clients choose you?
This is something we cant really answer, all we can say is we offer a bespoke service, so sit down with us for a coffee and slice of cake and lets see what we can come up with, if you feel comfortable talking to us the were be more then happy to work with you for what ever your trying to plan.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
We test ourselves before any event, we are happy to where face masks while working with you, all our staff will use sanitiser and will maintain social distancing from your guests ect
