We were very fortunate to have Mimi cater our wedding. From the get-go Mimi was super engaged, flexible and approachable. When it came to the actual weekend Mimi was a force of good-natured efficiency. She kept us aware of any issues that need our input but without adding to the inevitable last-minute wedding stress. She was even up at 4 AM checking on the slow cooking lamb! On the day it was all better than we could have hoped for. Everything was utterly delicious, but also and importantly for us not the standard wedding fare (apart from honey mustard sausages obvs). The Asian pork belly was a particular favourite canape of mine as was the tuna tartare. The lamb for the main was honestly the best I have had, and I know several typically non lamb-eating friends had to do some soul searching afterwards. I would recommend Mimi to anyone for whom food is a priority. She provides something a bit different (and in my experience better) that most catering companies, helping to create an atmosphere that will feel uniquely yours
I have used Gonzalo and his team twice now for events and I could not recommend their services more! The team are super responsive in the lead up to an event answering my many queries regarding the additional items the client had requested. Their team are so friendly and professional in person and have great interaction with guests throughout the event duration. The results both printed and online were amazing and the client team and guests absolutely loved the bullet time photo booth - it truly added to their event! Gonzalo, looking forward to working with you and the team again soon. Thanks for everything!
Maximilian was booked for our Uber Boats by Thames clippers xmas party. The performance was amazing. Everyone was very engaged with Maximilian's magic. Thank you for entertaining us during our welcome drinks.
We had Maximilian for our team event. The show was during the team dinner, it was very entertaining, engaging and fun. Maximilian is a very friendly person and it was a pleasure to work with him and have him for our team event. Highly recommended :)

Big thanks to Antoine for always being attentive for any event needs. Great service
Thank you, Antoine, chef Tom and service team of Ben without forgetting DJ Jorge for making my home party perfect🙏🏻
Listened to my requirements and excelled in the cocktails he made. Would use again for sure. 11 out of 10
I had Miss Mimi cater a Chinese New Year party for 80 people at my home. She did everything from plan the menu, organise the serving dishes to keep on the theme, prep, cook and left my kitchen spotless. And the food was out of this world. She staggered it so it was all hot and fresh and kept a constant mix of dishes she sent out. She did so much research to come up with a wide range of substantial hors d’oeuvres that ranged from vegetarian to quite filling meat dishes. She even went as far as to get the right color orchids to decorate the dishes as well. Nothing was left to chance and she was meticulous about her process. I can’t wait to use her again!
