Simba and his wife, Viola, were top notch from the start of the process until the end. Simba kept in constant contact and was happy to adapt a couple of aspects of the menu to suit our tastes. They arrived early, set everything up, were engaging and friendly. The food not only tasted amazing but it looked amazing. There was variety for everyone. We can’t recommend them more highly.
