About supplier

Our Retro Rocket It was built as a food truck but before I bought it it was a sausage van. We had to change all sorts of equipment. I've always wanted to do crepes for some reason, who doesn't love a crepe?

The whole experience was incredibly simple and the pizza van was a welcome and exciting addition to our event.

Our decision to chose Richie to cater my 50th birthday party was the best decision we made! He was super helpful, organised, flexible and calm despite the appalling weather forecast. The paella was absolutely perfect and catered to all dietary requirements. Our guests commented on the quality of the food and the generous portions and also what a nice guy Richie was! Many have asked where we found him. Thanks Richie. 😊
