WELL DONE CHEF LLOYD!!! 🏃🏼🏅 Incredible performance at todays 🏃🏼 Thank you to everyone who helped us raise £700 for .house 💙💛

10/10/2023

Our Fine Dining dinner for Six prize raised £600 at the annual Sobell House Golf Day last month.

It was another beautiful sunny September day at Studley Wood Golf Club. 18 teams battled their way round the course with some superb golf and an all-round good time was had by all.

One lucky golfer won a dinner for six in their home at the auction, which raised £600, the total raised was a fabulous £15,720!!!
Thank you to the incredible generosity from the participants for helping Sobell House to achieve this incredible amount.

Each pound raised will make a big difference to local people and their families who need our help. From providing specialist, compassionate nursing care to offering bereavement support to those who are struggling with their grief, your support is making it possible for us to be there for our community today, tomorrow and into the future.

“EVERY DETAIL WAS PERFECT” 💫

“Firstly, we both want to say a huge thank you for your professionalism and dedication to putting on the most perfect dining experience for our guests, it truly was spectacular and everyone enjoyed their meals as well as the phenomenal service provided by your staff. Every prior request regarding seating, dietary requirements etc. was in place and as specified.

Every tiny detail was perfect, from the delivery of the plates to our guests, to the seamless transition between courses and of course the quality of the food itself, we cannot thank you enough for that. Not to mention how perfect the table setting looked, we were so impressed by how every item was placed as well as the overall decoration produced in a small window of time.

Thank you as well for coordinating with Occasion Queens Fabulous Flowers the end result was phenomenal”. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A SPELLBINDING REVIEW FROM THE 2023 HARRY POTTER BALL…..!

“HONESTLY, I CANNOT THANK YOU AND YOUR TEAM ENOUGH”
“I just want to thank you and your team for what was an amazing night on Friday.

The buffet set-up was simply another level, the candles were such a nice touch and gave off the perfect vibes, it was really cool to see, to be honest.

The logistics of having it upstairs was also a great idea, the set-up in general was just fantastic.

The food tasted fantastic, and my friends all loved it. The brownie was my personal favourite, but I know my friends were fans of the tarts! Please do thank the chefs for me, they did an amazing job.

Please also thank all the staff who worked the night. They were all really lovely, polite and friendly as well as being so efficient. I don’t think I have ever seen such short queues at a bar before!

Speaking of the bar, you certainly were not wrong when you said you are not light packers - the amount of alcohol was amazing!

Honestly, I cannot thank you and your team enough. Throughout you have always been very accommodating and easy to work with and the night could not have gone any smoother. Thank you so much, it was truly worth every penny

If you have somewhere for me to leave a review please do let me know, I will certainly recommend you to anyone else who hosts a ball!”
