Lovely review for our ethical corporate catering job last week!

"On behalf of the Mayor and I, and all at Bognor Regis Town council, I just wanted to formally thank you very much for providing us with such a wonderful finger buffet for our Civic Reception last Wednesday evening. The food was superb, varied and plentiful and as advised on the phone, we had many compliments and leftovers were taken to local homelessness charity, Stonepillow.

Please pass on our thanks to all you team, who had clearly worked so hard.

We hope to work with you again in the near future."
