Hi Paul,
I am sorry this has taken so long but just wanted to say thank you for catering our trade event in November. We received so many positive comments from our customers, staff and suppliers and you really contributed to the success of the event. The quality of the food and presentation was fantastic as was your communication and professionalism from quote to delivery. We will endeavour to use you again for any events in the south west. If you need anything else, please don’t hesitate to ask….

Paul,
We just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks ever so much for last weekend. The food was absolutely excellent, as we knew it would be, but your team were also great in making it all run smoothly and keeping everything ticking happily along on the day. The canapés in particular were very well received by our guests who thought they were delicious.
I’m sure an enormous amount of work goes in to every event that you do, and it was certainly appreciated.
Many thanks and all the best, Lizzie and Ali

Dear Paul and Sophie,
Just wanted to say a massive thank you for everything. The flowers were so beautiful, exactly what I wanted but even better than I had expected, I had so many compliments on them (or you did!) The flowers you chose for the vases were perfect too, so thanks for doing that.
My family took them back to Bude and put them on my Dad and Nannies grave, which was a nice touch.
Paul, the food was amazing. Everyone was raving about it. The veggies particularly enjoyed the nut roast. We had the left overs for Sunday lunch and that tomato salad with the meat was sublime!
Thanks for working so hard and making our day so special. Every element came together to create perfect day. Everyone is still talking about it and wants to go back!
Many thanks,
Mr and Mrs Warner
Hi Paul,

Thanks again,

♦ Saturday 17th August 2013 – Richard and Heidi Steel – Colehayes Park
Paul, I must say that the food you provided on Saturday (amazing sharing platters to start, hog for main with all the trimmings and the most amazing salads I’ve ever seen/tasted) and additionally Sunday (pies, pasties, chutneys) was the most amazing food I’ve ever had at a wedding (as it was my wedding, I may be biased but a lot of my guests have also said that). Every single thing I tasted was truly delicious. I cannot thank you enough for your professionalism, your wonderful staff and stunning food. I would recommend you to absolutely anyone. You and your team were absolute stars. Thank you

Well done and thank you again…you definitely made the event a cut above the rest! Merry Anderson, Woodlandfun Forest School
