We recently hired SAMA for our companies spring social event and it was a huge success. Steve and the Team including Temi were amazing. It was well organised and it ran seamlessly The bar and location are perfect and the food was delicious. The jerk chicken especially was a huge hit, but all of the canapes and bowl food were fresh and delicious. I would highly recommend this venue and their Team.
