Reviews like this always make the job so much better

Dear Simon and Alison,

Thank you so much for yesterday. I had a really super birthday and couldn’t have been happier with all you did and provided. I can’t tell you how much I appreciated not having to worry about preparation and serving of food. You both take all the potential stress away and enable us to enjoy the occasion and the company of our friends.

The food was beautifully presented, as ever, and absolutely delicious. Your menus are always out of the ordinary and memorable as they were yesterday and as our guests have been telling us. I have now restored the house to its normal arrangement which took hardly any time at all thanks to your efficiency. And all accomplished with such a calm demeanour. Amazing. We feel very fortunate in many ways and yesterday just emphasised that. Thank you.

I hope you now have some days off after what I gather has been a very busy weekend.

With very best wishes

Lyneth and Chris

Lovely feedback after a residential corporate catering job.

Dear Simon and Alison

I just wanted to drop you a quick note of sincere thanks for making my job stress free this past week. It was so lovely to work with you both and to have such relaxed, professional and kind people around really does make such a huge difference.

A look back at last year’s work. A busy year of private dining, afternoon teas, weddings, garden parties, corporate events and lunches, Christmas parties and deliveries. My menus are organised with you personally around your preferences and my wife and I would be at every event.

We provide a full service and leave the kitchen ‘as found’ and take the stress out of your catering event leaving you free to enjoy time with your guests or clients.

All our food is produced in my 5 star rated production kitchen and we arrive an hour before your guests to set up. All we ask is a clear kitchen work surface.
