A wonderful Five Star Review from the weekend.✨
“The Passion Fruit team catered my mother-in-law’s 70th birthday. From initial contact to wrapping up the event I cannot fault the service. Frances and her team were so helpful and professional. The team were so friendly and our guests had such high praise for their amazing attitude. And I haven’t even mentioned the food and cocktails yet! We had a huge variety of canapés and every single one was a standout. Sara the chef is so talented and has high attention to detail as the food was beautifully presented. Equally the cocktails were interesting and delicious, served in lovely glasses with garnishes. I cannot recommend Passion Fruit catering enough and wish we had another party to host to eat their delicious food.“
Well done team 👏
