A very good quality meal, high level of service.

Jon was extremely responsive and accommodating with our menu options (we had some awkward diners spanning from children to senior adults, but he was willing to be flexible and offer alternative ideas and associated prices).
The quality and amount of the food provided for our celebratory dinner was very good, a very relaxed, unobtrusive and high level of service throughout the meal, leaving the premises clear and clean as they had found it.
Jon's background singing was a super compliment to the ambience and enjoyment of the evening. Thank you !

BOOK these guys!!

Jon and Ro were from first point of contact until our final goodbyes on the day totally brilliant! The quotation was speedy and clear and whilst the initial menu suggestion wasn't exactly what I was looking for, after a quick chat Jon was able to propose an even better option for the occasion all within budget. He catered for both adults and children and was flexible in adding a couple of extra sides when asked, The food and service on the day was excellent and everyone was totally wowed by the singing chef- so discreet and subtle yet at the same time providing the perfect background entertainment to the occasion. Nothing was too much trouble and these guys went above and beyond on the day to ensure we were as stress free as possible. FAB!

Wow top job great family entertainment and food

This was a brilliant experience for all our family John and his wife were very friendly and did a first class job. What impressed was Jons ability to read the crowd and pick up names to join in with his lovely singing. We are in the Entertainment business ourselves and as professionals this performance was second to none. Jon made what we know is very difficult to do seem simple, and his wife was a superb support to him so the whole act was seamless and people were being fed and entertained in a unique way.
You made our celebration perfect every member of our family young and old loved what you both did and set the mood for a noisy party afterwards which was shut down by bouncers. Grandparents street cred No 1 Thanks to you xx

Beyond any expectation

Everything was absolutely amazing! The food was fantastic but the whole evening was much more than just about the food. The service and singing were unbelievable and Jon and his wife are such great people. I booked for a hen dinner party and got way more than expected. The food and cocktails were perfect and Jon's singing is beautiful. At the beginning we didn't realise he was singing, we thought it was a recorded track. Jon and his wife are hilarious and extremely respectful. All of us at the party were blown away with the evening and I couldn't recommend them highly enough.
Thank you so much for a fantastic evening and all the work you put into it. Everyone was raving about how great it was!

Amazing food and lovely people!

Jon and Ro provided canapés and buffet lunch for 90 odd people at our christening/birthday party. I was determined to have fairly healthy party food (with cake too of course!) and they came up with an amazing range of delicious salads, salmon and chicken dishes, all beautifully prepared and nicely presented. They were lovely to deal with on the run up and on the day, and dealt really well with the slightly awkward layout of the building we were in too. Would absolutely use them again.
