Greg arrived and carried on his set up quickly and efficiently whilst we were all enjoying a glass of bubbly. When everything was ready we sat at the table and course after course (5 in total) were presented to us. The food was wonderful and beautifully presented, we had one vegetarian who had slight variations on each course but without any fuss or making him feel uncomfortable. I have a severe nut allergy so after Greg's reasurance i was able to enjoy my meal worry free. After the final course he quickly cleared and removed everything back to his van and was gone allowing us to continue our evening celebrations after a lovely meal and a spotless kitchen. I would recommend him and would definitely use him again if the occasion allowed.

Greg was super friendly and the menu was really delicious - we couldn't finish the 5 course as the portions were rich, delightful and generous. Would recommend Greg without question.

We hired Chef. Pat for a wedding celebration for 8 people and he was amazing. He arrived and had to carry all his equipment up a lot of stairs , was flexible with his times, very friendly and checked with guests who had dietary requirements and food was exactly as described and tasted amazing and he then cleaned everything up afterwards and took out the rubbish! We couldn’t have asked for anything more and would definitely use him again. The Poptop service was brilliant also with easy access and prompt response to queries raised so would definitely recommend it.

Ed created the most wonderful feast for my dad’s 70th Birthday dinner party. He made everything so easy, from menu selection through to serving up his delicious food then leaving the kitchen spotless. Ed is not only a great chef but a super nice chap. I would definitely recommend him and will use him again myself for future events.
