Thank you very much for the superb canapés and organisation the day went exceeding well.  You and your  staff were brilliant and very professional – I had absolutely nothing to do and the clean up afterwards showed no sign of you being there.

Many of my guests were complementary of the food and service.
I will certainly recommend you .

Everyone had an amazing time.
The effort you put in was very much appreciated, such as working out a way to serve the salmon hot!
Given the freezing temperatures , the dinner was really a success .Having you organise the food and waiting staff, took such a load off me , I cannot thank you enough.
I hope to work with you in the future.

What a wonderful array of food Julia laid on for us, nothing was too much trouble, she was able to adapt her menu to support a gluten free alternative. Her miniature Yorkshire puddings with beef and horseradish sauce were a delight.

Julia was nothing short of brilliant throughout the whole process of organising a gorgeous meal for 7 people at a private dinner party. She came up with a menu to die for and organised for a waiter to come and help serve our guests as well. The evening was perfect and the food that Julia made was absolutely delicious. We will definitely work with Julia again in the future and very much look forward to it.

A long overdue note to thank you for everything you did to help make Peter’s wake such an elegant and most importantly , stress free occasion .
It was a terribly difficult and emotional time, but knowing that the catering was in such capable hands was a huge relief. The food choices you suggested were perfect and greatly enjoyed by everyone.
