Birthday Cocktails, Canapés & Dinner at Home for 16 Guests (3rd September 2011)

Hi Amelia,

I can't tell you how thrilled we were with Molly, Jose and Thierry - what a wonderful evening we had, thanks to them. The food was amazing and was very much enjoyed by everyone and we all loved Jose's bar and cocktails. Molly was really attentive and had everything running very smoothly.

They really took the stress out of it all, from the moment they arrived we knew everything was completely under control and they would look after us very well. Please will you thank them again from us.

Thank you for all your help too Amelia, from start to finish I have been very impressed and wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone and I hope a situation will arise again for us to use you again - it is a lovely way to have a dinner party!

Many thanks,

Emma

I wanted you to know that we all really enjoyed the party yesterday at Parkstead House. Sandi and his team did a wonderful job. I know he is away now but hope he will receive our thanks and praise when he returns.

Everyone commented on how delicious the food was, and the how friendly and efficient the service was. The quality of food and drink was excellent.

Christening Canapés for 25 Guests (10th July 2011)

Dear Chloe and Amelia,

Tony and I are just back home after the trip to London for George's christening, and wanted to thank you both very warmly for the wonderful food and service. The canapes looked and were absolutely delicious - the presentation was stunning and many of the guests commented on the excellent food. We were also delighted with the service: please pass on very warm thanks to the chef and Sandi, who made all the guests very welcome and was particularly good in looking after the children too.

Thanks to you all for helping to make it such a special and successful event. I'm sorry it's taken us a few days to write, but we wanted you to know how pleased and delighted we are.

Thank you both very much.

With good wishes,

Emma.

With kind regards,

60th Birthday Party | Canapes & Buffet for 21 guests (19th June 2011)

Hi Chloe,

Superb, fantastic, amazing. Cannot thank you enough  for such a magic day. Sandi and Daniel were amazing and a great credit to Penni Black and their food and service and organisation were all equally amazing.

We had 19 guests and the two of us and without exception everyone was stunned by it all. And there was much talk of follow up business. Sandi has kindly offered to pick the chairs and a few plates and glasses up on Tuesday so that I don’t have to struggle packing and loading. All truly amazing!

Thank you from a very delighted and happy customer.

Starlight Children's Charity | Canapé delivery in our bespoke mirror boxes for 100 guests (15th June 2011)

Hi Chloe,

Thank you for such wonderful canapés at the event we held last week. They were absolutely delicious and several of the children’s parents at the event asked for your contact details and said how good they were - so I have given your website and phone number to Knightsbridge School and the Children’s club. I hope you don’t mind!

They were beautifully presented in those boxes too – so clever, and were the perfect amount – and we raised £4000 for Starlight – so a good night all in all!

With very best wishes,

Charlotte

Chairman Buffet Dinner @ The Park International Hotel for 25 guests (27th May 2011)

Hi Chloe,

Just a quick note to thank you and Sandy for the fantastic catering last night.  The night was a huge success and everybody enjoyed the food.  Thanks to your team, chef and waiting staff the evening was a fantastic success.  Very professional from set up to clearing out!

Thanks again,

Louis Jacobs

College of Occupational Therapists | Canapés, Finger Foods, Afternoon Tea & Drinks for 90 guests (5th May 2011)

Hi Chloe,

As you know, because we had HRH The Princess Royal attending the event, everything had to be top quality, and the timings for serving food, clearing away etc had to be very precise but at the same time flexible where necessary. Under the unflappable leadership of Sandy, your Events Manager, everything went exactly as we’d hoped,  and nothing was too much trouble for the team when we had to go “off plan”!

Everyone at the event commented on how wonderful the food and service were. Please could you forward our thanks to your fantastic team - they were so helpful, friendly and professional and made my job a lot easier!!

Princess Anne didn’t comment on her lunch (pity!) but I know that her Personal Protection Officer thought the home-made biscuits were fantastic!!

Very best wishes,

Caz Dunn

Phil McIntyre Television Canapé and Drinks Party @ The Truman Brewery for 50 guests, 20th April 2011

Dear Chloe,

I would like to say, on behalf of everyone on the production, but especially me, that your team did an absolutely fantastic job. Without wanting to forget the other guys, Monica (I hope that is how it is spelt), in particular, was brilliant. She really helped make the event a success, and couldn’t do enough to help – despite the difficult circumstances us filming a TV show created for her and the rest of the staff. The food was great, and I must say your choice of Canapés was perfect. I really can’t stress enough how impressed I have been with the whole service!

That’s not forgetting you either Chloe! You have been so accommodating and helpful, despite the late notice I gave you. I genuinely hope I have the chance to use Penni Black again.

Thanks once again, and all the best for the future

Kind Regards

Klaer Fisher | 40th Birthday Party, Sit Down Lunch, 5th March 2011

Hi Chloe

I will send you the pictures when I get them so you can see how happy everyone was - it was the best party I have ever had and everyone was so complimentary about your wonderful food. The steaks and the salmon were perfect and we will live on the memories for a long time. the night before and the morning was quite stressful as I gave myself so much to do getting the house ready, but by 11.30 it was all done and they arrived at 12.30.

We had 20 guests and they left at 7.30 in the evening. We really appreciate your wonderful achievement in putting together such delicious food.

See you soon

Klaer

Domus Three Course Dinner, 3rd March 2011

Morning Chloe,

I just wanted to say a big thank you for last night!  Monica is BRILLIANT and the chef was fantastic!  Everybody loved the food and it went really really well. We’ve actually got another event on Tuesday and I’d love to do exactly the same thing please? Sorry it’s a bit short notice, but I only found out last night!

Once again, please send my thanks to the guys – and our clients also sent their thanks to the catering staff as well … they were very impressed!

Regards
