“I booked Big Slice for my birthday and they did not disappoint. All the way through the process from quotation to end service, they team at Big Slice fully looked after me and gave me a professional service. The Pizza's were amazing and I would say better then any "premium" branded pizza. I have recommend Big Slice to all my friends and family and will defo use them again. ”

“Dear Rob Just a short note to say thanks so much for yesterday evening. From the feedback I’ve received our event was a huge success and that was, in part, down to you. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed having their caricatures drawn and I have to say, your drawings are fabulous! As discussed yesterday evening, I would love to invite you back to draw at our staff summer event on 06 July. Thanks again Rob – it was a pleasure to have you with us and I look forward to working with you again on 06 July. Kind regards Carole”

Above expectations for all. We would recomend

“Nick visited Weymouth Connect in the afternoon on 3oth April. We are a generic Day Service offering a service to clients of varying abilities including Older persons, Learning disabilities and Physical disabilities. The joy that it gave to so many of our clients was amazing, to see the participation of many clients, some who are not always as engaged in activities as others. Nick engaged with all the clients and staff allaying any intrepidation and encouraging through out the afternoon. Thank you very much Nick we look forward to seeing you in July.”

Such fun

“I thought I was going to dinner to celebrate my friend, who I had not seen in 19 yrs, turning 40. Imagine my surprise when she added this into the mix! Imagine my bigger surprise when I discovered that she, who lives in LA, had contacted Red Herring Games, ran by an old school-friend back here in the UK! It was only when I saw the back to the script did I realise who had organised everything. It was such fun. A very well organised and written event, brilliantly delivered by Lydia who really engaged with a room full of people she had never met before. The story played out very well, and with only some getting "whodunnit". Everyone there got into the spirit and roles and with no one knowing who had 'dunnit' until the every end. I highly recommend Red Herring Games to everyone, for every kind of event. ”
