Impressed!

I chose Taras takeaway for my engagement party and I was extremely happy with the service. The owner was extremely professional, polite and worked very hard to achieve my vision for my party. She was clean, courteous and considerate. The food and decor were both tasteful. It was a great price for great service. I will be hiring her again for future events. My fiance and I were very much pleased with our decision to hire Taras takeaway. Would definitely recommend
