Testimonials
It was a great evening; many thanks indeed; you have a very impressive ease of just getting it done unobtrusively and without any panic or worry; you have a very sympathetic manner of dealing with your clients; the efficiency of clean up on Sunday was remarkable. Many thanks indeed. I will recommend you further.
Dominic Freely – 50th Birthday – 20th April 2013
Dear Darren, Emma and all the staff at How Can We Help You. Thank you so much for the time and energy you invested in ensuring my husband’s 50th birthday was the perfect party! The food was absolutely delicious and has certainly become the talking point in Windsor this weekend.
Your suggestion of ‘bowl food’ to provide hot substantial food to our guests was a master stroke. As people were not required to sit down in order to eat, this meant the party and the dance floor were buzzing all the time. I still can’t believe how effortlessly you appear in a strange kitchen and manage to create fabulous food pretty much from scratch!
Thank you so much – we will definitely be in touch again
Kind regards,
Dawn & Tony Ross – 6th April 2013
I engaged How Can We Help You? to do the catering for my mother’s funeral. They were friendly and professional at all times, and more than happy to accommodate our dietary needs and shifting numbers. It was wonderful to have everything taken care of, leaving us free to entertain our guests as my mother would have wished.
Veronica Lett – Funeral Catering – 3rd April 2013
Excellent. Very appropriate for the occasion.
Elaine Rea – Funeral Catering – 18th February 2013
Many have commented on the excellent services and food that you gave us Sunday. I am grateful indeed for all your part in making it an excellent party, it all went off very well.
Andrew Woodhouse – 90th Birthday – 17th February 2013
HCWHY provided an exceptional private dinner for my wife’s 50th birthday. They took care of all the arrangements from organising a cake to decorating the house and table. A very professional service with exceptional food – they are very accommodating and will cater for all requirements
Craig Skelton – 50th Birthday Party – 3rd January 2013
I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your and the team's hard work on Saturday, and also for taking the trouble to do the tasting at our house beforehand, which was such fun. The food was fantastic, we had so many positive comments about how delicious it was, and the staff were really professional and well organised. Our kitchen was left immaculately clean which was amazing.
Simon & Sue Hibbert – 50th Birthday Party – 29th December 2012
We were absolutely delighted with the services of HCWHY. As a hostess I was barely aware of the team's arrival set up and clearing away it was all so seamless. The food was plentiful and I had many comments on how tasty and full off goodies the paella was " not just bland rice". Please thank the team for helping make my party the success it was.
Verena Weir – 50th Birthday Party – 15th September 2012
A thoroughly pleasant experience to have you cater for our event – it was all exactly as it said on the tin, and more. Many guests complimented the food and asked who you were. Thank you for my spotless kitchen and stocked fridge!
Friendly staff, perfectly on time and very calm kitchen – true professionals
Annelie Green – 50th & 23rd Birthday Party – 1st September 2012

Should the occasion arise we would be happy to recommend or use you again.
Valerie Foley – Funeral Catering – 31st July 2012
We could not be happier with the service we received from HCWHY. We had never used a caterer before but had attended many catered events and knew what we were wanting. HCWHY made the whole process extremely straightforward and stress free. We were particularly impressed with how helpful, friendly and professional the staff were – and our guests commented on this as well. The food was delicious and beautifully presented and HCWHY just made everything ‘happen’. My husband and I were able to enjoy our son’s christening as much as any guest – just what we wanted. We would be very happy to recommend HCWHY and use them again in the future!
Tracey Thornton – Christening – 14th July 2012
We really want to thank you for the excellent job you and all your staff did to make our party run smoothly. Everyone was extremely polite and helpful, and at times you did not even know they were there. Everyone commented on how much they enjoyed the food, and the only problem we had, was I should have ordered more of it. We would certainly recommend you to our friends and in fact have already passed your details on to some of our guests. Once again thank you to everyone, excellent chefs, lovely waitresses and even the guy who picked it all up, well done.
Andrew and Lee Uttridge – 50th Birthday – 14th July 2012
I know that Gerald has sent you an email but I just wanted to thank you for your service on Saturday. It was seamless. Please pass my thanks to the two guys who came to cook for us. They arrived as agreed and under very difficult conditions (windy) just got on and set up with no complaints. They were polite, courteous and fun! Everyone loved the food and you have received several compliments and requests for details so we will be sure to pass that on.
Again many thanks for your help in arranging this at such short notice for us.
Hope you have a good and profitable summer, Thanks Mel.

Angie Newman – Hen Party – 21st August 2011
Although my primary reason for using your company was the recommendation from Keith (Rawlings & Kensetts Butchers in Bookham), followed by an acceptable cost, I am really happy that you support our local ‘Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity’. I particularly liked the flexibility that you offered – by only charging for the parts I required. Nothing seemed too much trouble and I never felt under pressure to have anything I did not want or need. The whole occasion was a great success. One guest wrote and said ‘BEST HOG ROAST EVER!’ The staff were friendly and more than helpful. Thank you very much!
~Alison Houslander – 50th Birthday Party – 20th August 2011
All who attended thought Paella was great. Thank you all so much. I will keep you in mind for future events.

Everything was perfect from the marquees to the food to the staff who all did a brilliant job and were so professional!
I can safely say I will look forward to working with you again soon!
Beth Napier – Elmbridge BC New Development Opening Day – 10th August 2011
Thank you so much to you and your staff for all your hard work on our wedding day. All our guests commented on the fantastic food and service. There wasn't a moment were our guests had a empty glass or food. We would not hesitate to recommend your company to anyone.
Natalie & Phil Cooney – Wedding Reception – 30th July 2011
I deliberately waited until the dust has settled after the party before congratulating you. The reason is that friends, family and neighbours are all still talking about it! Really! The food was absolutely top quality and cooked to perfection. Your staff really know how to look after people. The delivery of every aspect, from the marquee to the tidying up afterwards was flawless. Most of all, we were able to enjoy the party ourselves safe in the knowledge that you were in control. I cannot thank you or recommend you and your team enough – well done – we are already looking forward to the next one. Best wishes, Daniel, Janet and Jessica.
Daniel Palmer – 21st Birthday Party – 23rd July 2011
I just wanted to thank you so much – it was all marvellous – and there was plenty of food left over – which meant that there was certainly enough of everything which is what I was worried about! The tarts were particularly delicious and my husband thought that the brie and grape sandwiches were fantastic. Your waitress was charming and hard working. Many thanks to you and your team. We shall certainly continue to recommend you in the future.
Diane Snapper - Auf Ruf - 18th June 2011
Just a note to say thank you so much for making our party so special!
The food was superb and it was definitely a talking point of the party - in fact we have already had a number of people ask for your contact details for their own parties. Secondly the staff were wonderful and really went above and beyond, especially in helping my husband set up the gazebos.
We really appreciate the exceptional job you all did and are already looking forward to designing a menu with you for next year's party.
Best regards and many thanks, Holly
Holly Rafique – 1st Birthday Celebration – 12th June 2011

Elizabeth Whalley – Wedding Reception – 12th February 2011
What a success that was. Thank you so much for the wonderful food you and your colleagues produced. Without exception we have had such positive and delightful comments. Everyone was catered for. Our friends who had special dietary needs were delighted with the choice they had. The children were well catered for in choices. The fish platter was wonderful and I have to say we all ended up having it as a starter and then moved on to the hot dishes. Several people also said they couldn't believe how the food was produced to such a high standard from the small kitchen facility on the boat. Thank you so, so much all round. I certainly will endeavour to recommend your services to anyone as I have opportunity.

I would like to thank you and your team for Friday; we were very grateful to you all for making the afternoon go so smoothly.

Stephen Bligh – Funeral Catering – 10th December 2010

Debra Naccarato – Party – 27th November 2010
We had a great time on Saturday, but it wouldn't have been quite as good without you and your team!
So many people have complimented your food - it really was yummy - I think the proof was that there wasn't anything left to put in my fridge to feed our hangovers the next day! Also, I must say that you were all great to have around and really added something to the party - professional, but fun at the same time. Thank you and well done.
Tina Wells – 40th Birthday Party – 20th November 2010
My mother and I were really impressed not only by the variety but also the standard of the food offered. It was very tasty, beautifully presented and plentiful.

We always wanted a classy yet relaxed event and you delivered this. Thank you for helping make Bob’s send-off so memorable.

From the forward planning, the efficiency and personal service given by your team members, their good humor and ‘nothing is too much trouble’ approach, to the quality (and quantity) of delicious food provided, nothing could have been bettered! Your organization is ‘top notch’ without a doubt!
The input of How Can We Help You? ensured that the day was superb for the family and all our guests and we unreservedly recommend you to anyone who needs assistance with an important event!

Thank you and your staff for a lovely, efficient and most memorable evening. People have approached me since the party and commented on how warm, helpful and polite your staff were. Everyone commented on the food and I must admit we were deeply impressed by how calm and reassuring you were – even when we turned up half an hour early! You seem to exude a feeling of being in control which helped both Chris and I enjoy the evening even more. In everything you have done, you have been professional and approachable, reasonable and calm. Thank you for making our event so successful. I look forward to our next celebration.
Karen and Chris Blakeley - 25th & 50th Anniversary - 30th August 2009
We would like to thank you for your excellent service, quality of food, sensitivity and attention to detail – much appreciated by us at this time.
We are also very pleased that a donation to our chosen charity will be made.
Mr David Brill & Dr Frances Brill - Funeral Catering - 24th August 2009
Our daughter's 21st and our anniversary party shortly afterwards, two very different events and both very happy evenings. Your staff were efficient and courteous at both, especially dealing with the special diets. It is probably unusual for a cake to have such a prominent role, but you made the most marvellous panda cake which stole the show at the first event. As for the second event I feel it is a triumph that you catered so admirably for that large number from a small tent, and coped with the difficult terrain in the garden. I also thought your marquee contact was excellent. I found my meetings with you beforehand were very professional and your admin backup reassuring. At the time of booking I did not know of your charitable donation scheme, but once explained to me I was thrilled to feel that our events had some external benefit. I'm sure our chosen charity feels likewise. I would recommend you for this alone, luckily I can do it based on your service as well.
Mary Ann Turnbull –
Daughter’s 21st - 22nd August 2009
Anniversary party - 26th September 2009
Thank you for the splendid day you organised and delivered for Harriet and Roger’s wedding on Friday – a fault free performance.
HCWHY?’s welcome to the bride and groom and guests, with carefully-poured trays of champagne was just as Sarah planned it, and the subsequent pouring from magnums gave the exact effect wanted. Nibbles were excellent: neat, and properly tasty and fresh. The buffet that followed was good in every dish and there was plenty for everyone (and still plenty in the fridge)! Organisation and timing went as perfectly as can ever hoped. You won a large credit balance from me, even before the day, for your determination never to decline to take a call – which I regard as a mark of serious professionals. It keeps your anxious clients calm – no sleep or confidence was lost, I really appreciated that. Leaving everything tidy was another win, with family and house guests just amazed at how quickly and neatly we had been given back our home, you have scored for your industry and I do hope you have scored for your business: I shall certainly not hesitate to give glowing recommendations of you and your company to anyone.
You gave us a day we dreamed of!
With gratitude and admiration - and every good wish.
Liz Robertson – Wedding - 10th July 2009
A Huge, Massive Big Thank You! You were fantastic and brilliant, superb in every way and enormously appreciated. A big thank you for your donation ‘Fight for sight’.

I must know some real drinkers!!

Thank you very much for your big contribution to making our party a great success. The food was lovely. Giles and Clare did a great job they worked very hard. Giles even managed to get the red wine that a guest had spilled off my pink carpet.
Maureen Littleboy – Celebration - 2nd December 2006
Thank you and your very pleasant staff for looking after us all last Friday so well. Everybody said how good the food was, the canapés and the buffet. I was so pleased, you did everything very well, under not too easy conditions, I think! It was a very pleasant trip on the river for us.

Both Mark and I would like to thank you for all your efforts on our wedding day. Your staff were wonderful and courteous. The food was fantastic and everyone was raving about it, especially the canapés. You were ‘on the ball’ and everything ran smoothly. Several of our friends have said it was the best wedding that they had ever been to.

Anne Archer - Birthday Celebration - 9th August 2006
Mum and Dad’s Diamond Wedding Party could not have been more perfect or given them more pleasure: and at least 95% of its success was absolutely attributable to you, your enormous and doubting hard work and the unbelievable amazing service which you provided. Everyone (including my extremely hard-to-please impressed Dad and lovely (but sarcastic!) son-in-law) was so impressed and since the party Mum and Dad and Angela and I have received so many thank you cards and all of them roaring about the sumptuous food and the wonderful decorations and flowers. Everything you provided exceeded by far any expectation I had and I am so very grateful to you. It would be lovely to think that we might be able to it again for Mum and Dad’s joint 90th Birthdays in 7 years time.
Carol Boon - Diamond Wedding Anniversary Party - 8th August 2006

We have received a number of calls and notes from family and friends saying how much they enjoyed the evening, and complimenting you on the level of service and standard of food. Needless to say, we were very pleased with everything and we will definitely use you again.

I want to sincerely thank you and your team on behalf of Knight Frank and our clients on the superb service you gave us at our recent ‘Open Days’.
