“HI Guys, Sorry for this very late note of thanks, but thank you so much for making the party! Everyone loved the food, absolutely everyone! It was absolutely brilliant and I wanted to say what a great job they did considering there were only 2 of them and they coped well when the mad rush descended on them! Hope to use you guys again sometime in the future….. Many thanks and good luck with everything. All the best Victoria ”

“We had a private event in our student accommodation complex. We do regular events for the students but we have never had such an incredible turn out. The smells and excitement of Gourmet Street Kitchen in our courtyard pulled everyone from their rooms to taste the food, it created a real buzz around the place. I was lucky (greedy) enough to have a try of all the different flavours and they were all delicious. The stand out for me has to be the deep fried Jalapeño Mac Balls! They are sensational and the students loved them. However I also loved the pancetta and mushroom, and the chorizo, I loved them all! Thanks Adam. We already have a huge demand for the next visit and hoping to book Gourmet Street Kitchen again late this year. ”

“Antonio’s paella was absolutely amazing and definitely one of the highlights of the event! Everyone kept talking about how rich and authentic the flavours were, you could really tell it was made with a lot of love and care. Antonio was not only professional but also super friendly and accommodating. He made sure everyone was looked after, including guests with dietary needs like vegetarians and those who are gluten-free, nothing was too much trouble. The presentation was beautiful too and really added to the whole vibe of the day. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Antonio’s Paella to anyone looking for top-quality food and brilliant service!”
