2022 felt like it was a comeback year. As we had been closed from March 2020 to June 2021, then the first full year of 2022 proved to be as busy as we had ever been.
2023 returned to a quieter pace after the "catch-up" of 2022. But events both happy and sad kept on coming. We are grateful to all our clients for the business we received. And for their appreciation of our work in this selection of testimonials. |

Summer Party June 2024 for 100 people
Thank you (AGAIN!) for making it so easy to host a party - which means we can enjoy ourselves too. You always come in with lovely helpers and cheerfully work your way round unexpected hitches (no large bin). BEAUTIFUL and delicious food appears (I have had so many compliments from the guests) - and then, magically, all is cleared away and beautifully cleaned so that by the time a group of stragglers are gathered around the kitchen table and a platter of strawberries there is no sign that it’s been such a hive of activity . . . You are all lovely geniuses! Thank you so much. Rachel |

Wedding September 2024 for 100 people
Carolyn did an amazing wedding breakfast for our daughter’s wedding. Not only was the food delicious and beautifully presented but she was the queen of efficiency and organisation ensuring that we were thoroughly organised before the event.
She and her team were so friendly and polite and helpful throughout the reception and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Christmas Party December 2024 for 80 people
What can I say? We’ve had lots of messages from people who came to the party, and every single one of them were amazed by the food! It was absolutely as lovely as I remembered it - and you bring such a great team with you. They were all helpful, friendly, polite and kept things running smoothly even though our coatracks were upstairs. Then at the end of the evening, when everyone has gone we drift back into a kitchen that has been tidied, wiped down, food in the fridge etc etc. it makes ‘hosting’ a very easy job - we can just enjoy being with our guests.
You are so calm and friendly throughout - no sign of any stress. Having you and your team as caterers is a great privilege.
THANK YOU 🙏🏻!

On behalf of us all, a huge thank you to you and your wonderful team for being an integral part of our day. The food was delicious and a beautiful spread for us all to enjoy.

Thank you for catering for our Mum’s Thanksgiving Service on Tuesday. The food was delicious and so beautifully presented. Our Mum particularly liked flowers so she would have definitely approved of how you decorated the plates! It was reassuring to know that everything was so well organised and in capable hands! Many of the guests commented on the food and asked who had done the catering.
Please pass on our thanks to the waitresses who were so courteous and empathetic. Thank you once again. With our best wishes Anne, Claire and Neil |
