It’s clear that you take great pride in your work, and it really shows. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your services and look forward to working with you again in the future.

If you’re looking for a feast, then Theo’s is the place to contact. The setup s impressive, along with a perfectly seasoned whole lamb slowly turning on the spit, and soon the smell started to fill the air, making you hungry before the food even hit your plate. The cook (Siya) clearly knows his craft: the meat came out tender, juicy, and full of flavour, not fatty at all, and it had a perfect balance of crispy outer skin and soft meat. The sides were delicious, we opted for a Greek salad and pasta salad, roasted veg, pap & sous, and mini rolls. These completed the meal beautifully. Using Theos s a great experience, and I highly recommend them for any function, be it at home or at a venue. PS: we opted for plates to be included and this is a bonus as then all the dishes are taken away. Thanks also to Brendan who dropped Siya off, helped him set up and collect him again, well done guys!
