I booked Ellisons dining for my mums surprise 60th birthday weekend - the menu choices were very good and varied lots of different choices to suit different tastes. I chose the bruschetta, pan fried chicken, and white chocolate cheesecake for the party. David and his assistant arrived promptly and prepared the food for us, they lay the table and catered for 16 ladies, the food was absolutely outstanding, each course was so tasty, all of the ladies were over the moon with the food we were served and all said it was above 10/10. I would definitely use Ellisons dining again. Thank you so much!

Jonathan was very friendly, professional and produced great food. The only issue was that he said he had only been told about the vegan one day before the dinner party so hadn’t had time to get all the ingredients for the vegan’s meal eg he served her strawberries for dessert. This was a little disappointing but not his fault.

Dine indulge were very responsive to my queries when arranging the menu, and were able to cater a mixed group of meat eaters and vegetarians, and a guest with diabetes. Gianluca was the chef we were allocated and he was fantastic - super friendly, excellent at describing the food we had for each course and he left the kitchen absolutely spotless at the end.

James and Luke were our chefs for the evening, catering for a surprise party of 12 for a 60th birthday celebration. Although there was initially a little confusion as to the amount of choices we had from the menu, this was quickly resolved. We settled on a three course meal from the summer menu which was absolutely magnificent. Every plate, every course, whether vegetarian or meat, were all beautiful. The presentation was lovely and every dish arrived at the same time, steaming hot and tasty. I must point out that this was a surprise dinner party for 6 of the guests and yet James had taken time to study each individual menu choice noting who had chosen what before serving us thus avoiding having to ask who had ordered what. Very professionally done. Both James and Luke arrived two hours prior to our seating time and worked efficiently but quietly, creating our stunning meal and once we had finished they quietly washed and tidied away all of the dishes afterwards. You would never have known they had been there! I cannot rate these guys highly enough. They were both so polite too and even left a lovely birthday card for the birthday boys before leaving. Should an occasion arise when I needed a caterer, I would not hesitate in contacting James Howe again.

We were really pleased with Charlie our chef. Very polite and friendly and delicious food! Jo who served was great too. They provided printed menus, glassware, cutlery, plates and napkins too which was really helpful and made the table look so smart. All in all it was fab. Thank you!

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.
