Darren arranged a wonderful buffet for my mum's wake at Limetree Village. Everyone remarked on what a beautiful spread had been prepared.
We're all of us very grateful for the efficiency and quality of everything you did for us. Highly recommended :-)

Darren provided a delicious buffet for my Dad's wake. Very easy to organise, good advice given regarding the menu, super fresh sandwiches and cakes and plenty to eat.
Would definitely recommend and use again.

Just want to say a HUGE thank you for the food today - the spread was amazing and everyone commented how nice the food was especially the sausages!
Sarah Cook - Staci
Ordered a large buffet for a wake, food was delicious and the service was excellent. They were on time, they set up and cleared everything away and catered to all of our needs.
Plenty of food so would recommend catering for less than you need as unfortunately we needed up wasting quite a lot. Thanks to Darren and Andrea.
