Testimonials
I just wanted to say how much all the family appreciated the effort put in to present the most wonderful spread of food on the day.
With everything else going on it was very reassuring to know that the catering was taken care of, and can I add in a very professional and discreet way considering the circumstances.
Upon our return to the house following the funeral service we were all blown away by the presentation and sheer delight of variety of dishes laid out. Once again thank you most sincerely from all of us.

Yet again I am writing to thank you SO much for producing such delicious food. As always your calm and unflappable approach was a great relief at what was a highly emotional event. I am so grateful to you and your helpers. The food really was absolutely scrummy and everyone commented on it.
Mrs S. Tobey
Rosie did a wonderful job providing food & drink for the reception following my father’s memorial. She & her team offered a very professional service. Very much recommended.
