Baby Shower · 20 guests · December 2025
Everything was as per description, it was easy to agree on decorations, timing and service. Considering the amount of guest for the baby shower and the space required it was a very quick and reasonably priced service. The food was fantastic and the staff was very sweet and very attentive. Thank you!

Good was served at time requested. Informed when food would have to be removed, given ample containers to take away left over food if required.
