Testimonials

Thank you so much for your part in a great evening on Saturday. The cake in particular was a triumph, could not have been a better likeness to what we wanted. The staff were courteous and efficient, thanks to them too.

Mary Ann Turnbull - Daughter’s 21st - 22nd August 2009

Thanks for a brilliant job on our Midsummer Party!! The food was delicious and the service brilliant!!
Everybody has praised your work and food and we are all already looking forward to next year!!
For us a big part was that everything was set up and taken down so quickly, very well done!!

Marie & Benny Hedenskog – Swedish Midsummer Party - 20th June 2009

Abig ‘Thank you’ for you and your teams work in preparing and serving the food and drink at Denise’s recent 90th birthday bash. You’ll be pleased to hear that I have received quite a bit of complimentary feedback from our guests. When Denise reaches her 100th, be sure we will try booking you again – unless, of course, by then she has outlived all of us!!!

John Whittle – Family Party - 25th April 2009

I can’t thank you enough for the catering affair on Wednesday. The food, particularly the meat and cheese selection and of course the bread basket, was all a hit. They finished every last bit of it. Thank you again for the professionalism and kind manner.

Mary Ann Cylc – Golden Wedding Anniversary - 7th September 2008

I want to thank you for the excellent service before and on the day of my birthday last Saturday. The food was amazing and the additional extras you were able to provide at the last minute were fantastic. I shall definitely be in-touch for all and any catering that we require in the future.
Thank you again.

Tricia Guess – Birthday Party - 11th November 2007

The whole day was absolutely perfect and we have been inundated with compliments. Everyone loved the food and particularly the Lamb Spit Roast which was so succulent and tender. They also mentioned how unobtrusive yet extremely attentive and helpful the staff were – so many thanks to Darren and the Girls.

Cathy Welch - Birthday Celebration - 12th June 2007

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.

Sylvia Webber - Birthday Boat Trip - 5th October 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

Jayne and I would like to express our thanks to you and your team for making our family barbeque such a success, your attention to detail and the food were simply superb. 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.
