Man with a pan

We hired the MWAP team for our wedding reception, which we held at home. In the build up, Mark was responsive and incredibly flexible with menu choices, and was very clear and upfront on the cost and payment structure. All dietary requirements were catered for (including some very niche ones beyond the usual standard of GF, vegan etc), and it was great to know that once the menu had been chosen and the right details given, Mark and his team were all ready to go leaving us to focus on organising everything else for the day.On the day itself, the team were incredibly flexible to our schedule, including arriving early to ensure house access while we were out doing the legal bit. It will not have been easy, setting up all their equipment and doing all the cooking on our inclined driveway immediately adjacent to a busy road (leading to a few questions from passers-by, I'm sure) but the team handled it all in their stride and put on some incredible canapes, a great BBQ lunch (the pulled pork burgers are amazing!) and fantastic paella dinner (where many people snuck back for seconds).We cannot recommend MWAP enough, and it took so much stress out of the day just being able to let them crack on as professionals with what they do best. Thank you!!

Mark was excellent to deal with from the first moment when we discussed the requirements and budget for my party. He came with a member of staff to hand round delicious canapes, and the paella and salads were both plentiful and flavoursome. Mark liaised directly with the venue, and was extremely professional throughout. I wouldn't hesitate to use Man with a Pan again - Mark made my 50th birthday absolutely hassle free, and the food delivered was of a high quality. Thanks Mark.

Mark and his team at Man with a Pan delivered epic meals for our wedding this Summer, feeding 160 guests delicious Spanish canapes, 3x different paellas, desserts and expert Thai food in the evening. Our guests praised the food to no end, and as big food lovers ourselves we were over the moon. The lead up was also exciting in the large pans as guests can eagerly see everything being freshly prepared. You can't go wrong with Mark and this team.

Excellent service from Mark and his team. We hired him for a wedding reception in a marquee in the garden. We had 3 different paellas for lunch with salads and in the evening he produced some of the nicest burgers I've had for the evening meal. Super friendly staff and really helpful waiting staff. Fast and efficient set up and break down of the pop up kitchen. Would definitely hire them again in the future.

We cannot thank Mark and his catering team enough for the amazing job they did on the day of the wedding.Not only was the food absolutely delicious but the staff and wait staff were superb. So polite and attentive to us and all of our guests. We had so many compliments from the guests on the day and after.Thanks again for being apart of our special day. Sam and James

We used Man with a Pan for our wedding in August and they were brilliant! Mark was so helpful throughout the planning process, the food was exceptional and beautifully presented and the staff were really experienced and made the whole day run smoothly! A really great catering option that offers something a bit different with exceptional service. A special mention for the front of house manager Carla as she was absolute superstar and looked after us and our guests so well all day. Thanks so much!

Man with a Pan have done two family events for us this year and both were excellent, the first was a paella selection and the second was Thai food. All food was delicious.Mark and his team are very professional and the whole process is so easy from the booking phase through the food service, to the way they clear up afterwards. It makes entertaining very easy and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Man with a Pan. I’m sure we’ll book them again.

Mark and the team were superb... They catered our party this weekend and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food. The paella was so much better than the one we ate last weekend in Malaga! Set up seemed to take moments, and, in the blink of an eye, the whole 'kitchen' was dismantled and disappeared with equal speed and efficiency. The bar staff were superb, capable, responsible, friendly and also super efficient. I would love to host another event with Mark and the team before too long!

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! Mark and his wonderful team did an amazing job at our party. The food was truly delicious (so many people commented on how yummy the canapes and paella both were), and the waitresses and bar team did an AMAZING job at keeping the drinks flowing. Highly recommended and will be using again. Thank you.

Brilliant for our wedding! People loved the variety of the food, the portions were great and presentation of the desserts were lovely. They were very professional and Mark was great at communicating and offering lots of different options. I would definitely use Man with a Pan again for another event!
