Octopus Food — Attraction in London

Encouraged by earlier reviews, we contacted Jake about catering for a large drinks party at our house. As soon as we met him, we knew we were in good hands. He listened carefully to our concerns about space, understood that we wanted guests to feel well-fed even with just finger food, and guided us away from some initial ideas to others that worked perfectly.

He was always contactable and came to view our garden beforehand, making reassuring suggestions should we have bad weather. The day was perfect, running smoothly and to plan.

The food was lovely - hearty Sausage and Mash - and very reasonably priced. The team on were very efficient and friendly, just what was needed. I'd very much recommend using Octopus Food as you know you're in very reliable...
