Dear John,

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, it has been a little hectic here!

All settled into married life now and just memories of a truly amazing day which you helped create!

Our canapes, one guest said, were the best canapes he has ever tasted, but more than the great food that was on offer, was the service which was exemplary and your staff did just such a wonderful job. We had many people say what a fabulous hog roast and salads that we had, perfect for a June wedding! Our guests commented that whenever their glasses were running near empty or when the canapes they were eating were gone, more drink and more food just popped up.

Our comments would be that you did such a fantastic, seamless job, that helped make the day flow, wonderful staff, amazing food, what more could we have asked!

On a separate note, as I probably said to you, everything happens for a reason, and I was so disappointed when the other caterers cancelled our wedding, but I honestly cannot imagine anyone doing a better job than you and your team did!

Thank you once again for organising such a large part of a perfect day

Best wishes

Katherine and James

Dear John

 We had a fantastic evening on Saturday and I’d like to thank you and your staff for all their help. The catering was excellent with high quality food which was excellently prepared and served. The food was ready spot on time and there were loads of compliments about how good it was and how helpful your staff were. So thank-you again for a job well done. I have no hesitation in recommending you to all our friends.

Best wishes

Dear John

I just wanted to put in writing our thanks for the superb service and food that your company supplied on Friday 24th June for my colleague’s leaving BBQ.

Alex Bristol (Director International Affairs) and his wife Rachael Bristol-Ried (Director Corporate and Environmental Affairs) were both extremely impressed and pleased with the outstanding food and service provided by your company.The food was tasty and offered variety to all those who attended (approximately 70 people), the service was excellent, everything was on time and at the end of the evening everything was cleared away with no mess.

Once again our utmost thanks for a wonderful BBQ and we would also like to say that we would highly recommend your company for any future catering services that our company requires or even catering for any personal events.

 Kind regards

John, what a day, a huge huge thank you to you and your team for all your
hard work making Kate & James day so special.  We have had nothing but
compliments and I know a great time was had by all. A special mention should
go to the canapes which looked amazing, tasted wonderful and I know our
guests really enjoyed.

Once again my grateful thanks for stepping in when we were let down

With best wishes

Hi John,

 Sorry I didn’t get to see you on the return of glasses etc, but wanted to say a huge thank you for everything going smoothly on the day. It went so well, everyone loved the food, and of course the choccie fountain. I loved your suggestions about cooking some food early and taking it around.. that was a winner 

You were a star and I loved that you brought me food when I was in need of it but was thinking of other things. Will recommend you to everybody.  How do I leave a glowing review on your website?

Thanks so much to you and your team.

Kindest regards Wendy

Hi John,

We were delighted with the quality of the hog (very tender!) and the excellent service you and your lovely team provided – thank you from the 300+ people who thoroughly enjoyed the event.

We will certainly come back to you if we hold another, and I’m sure we will get plenty of opportunities to recommend you.

Many thanks again.

Hi John

We would like to say a massive thank you to you and all your staff who worked their socks off all day to make our wedding day absolutely fantastic.

The food all tasted wonderful and everyone especially loved the hog roast, even when it was cold at 1am! Your hard work and enthusiastic nature really make all our guests feel welcome and relaxed. One of our favourite photographs is one of the guests finishing off the eton mess straight from the serving bowl!

Thanks again,

J and E  Stewart

Hi John

 Thanks very much for your best wishes. We had such a lovely day, in no small part to the excellent service and professionalism from you guys, not to mention the staggeringly good food!! Everyone was so impressed with the hog roast and salads – I cannot recommend West Country Catering highly enough. A fantastic effort and your enthusiasm on the day was contagious!!

 Thanks

I would like to thank John and his team for helping to make our Company celebration a big success. We planned a marquee in our car park, not the easiest place to erect a marquee, with a Hog Roast and BBQ; the food was delicious. We planned a champagne toast to start the afternoon’s festivities and the West Country Catering team swung into action keeping us all topped up. We had time constraints for the erection and taking down of the Marquee but the team was able to accommodate our needs. The West Country Catering team were friendly and professional at all times. Thank you.

 

 

Thank you so, so much for catering for my 40th birthday party at Moors Valley. From deciding on the menu to the clearing up, you and your team were fantastic. I can’t tell you how relaxed you made me feel….I could just leave everything in your hands from deciding where everything should go, to running the bar.
Absolutely everybody commented on the excellent barbeque/buffet that you provided and, as the only vegetarian, I loved it too! Mmmmm vegetable kebabs! AND, what can I say about the cake? It was hilarious, totally inspired and exactly spot on for the theme of the party. It must have tasted good too as there wasn’t any left.
You exceeded all of our expectations and I hope to use your services again. Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!
Many thanks to you once again, you helped make it a night to remember.

 I just wanted to thank you and the rest of the team at West Country Catering so much for the excellent job you did for our wedding and for helping to make our day so special. The service you provided was great and everyone was so friendly and helpful, really entering into the spirit of the evening. The hog-roast and the all the extra salads, potato-wedges etc. were superb, and we have had so many compliments from our guests. As for the “cheese-cake”, well that really was the icing on the cake! It was such a different idea and everyone absolutely loved it.

Many, many thanks!   May 2010

Hi

We just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything you did for our wedding at Boringdon Hall on 13th March 2010

The cake was absolutely fantastic, exactly what we were hoping for…better in fact. It was just the simple but classically elegant look we were hoping for. And delicious too, everyone who tasted it has commented on how lovely it was.

The chair covers and sashes looked fantastic and the chocolate fountain definitely had the wow factor!!

I understand that you also supplied the hog roast which again was fabulous.

Thank you very much for all your efforts and for travelling all the way to Plympton. The extra touches you supplied made our wedding day all the more memorable and special.

Thanks again

Hi John and Alison

Just wanted to say thanks again for the catering you did for us at Orchardleigh on 2nd October. The food was fantastic – even my very hard-to-please mother-in-law was impressed – and you all had a great attitude towards our guests, all of which made the evening a very special start to our wedding weekend. I’ve put your details up on the Orchardleigh facebook site, which lots of couple use for info when planning their weddings. If we’re ever looking for something similar, we won’t hesitate to give you a call.

Best wishes,

Gordon

Hi John and Alison

Thank you again for the great service, great food and best of all, the great WEDGES which everyone is still talking about! You both did such a fabulous job getting to know us, working to give us everything we were after and more and most importantly tailoring it to our budget.

You took care of everything on our special day, and fitted into the style and surroundings of our wedding as if you were part of the furniture!

We would definitely recommend you to family, friends or anyone planning a special event and we hope to have an excuse to use you again in the future!

Big thanks to you and your team once again

Hi John

Just a quick mail to say a big thank you for providing the hog roast at my daughter’s leaving party on 22 August 2009. Everyone commented on how delicious the hog roast was and how much they all enjoyed it. Alison and Dan were totally charming and very professional.

Thank you once again to you all.
