Hi Chloe

Thanks for your email and I would just like to say a big thank you to you and your team for helping to make our party the success it was. The feedback about the canaps and your staff has been wonderful, and apart from a few minor issues (our power suply!) I think the whole evening ran like clockwork. I enjoyed myself and would have liked to have stayed longer ... the party went on to the wee small hours!

Also I thought you might like to know that my boss, the FD, just said he thought all the staff were great and that no-one was left without a drink at anytime so bar staff very attentive.

Best Regards,

Kerry Shipton

Hi Chloe

Hi Chloe,

I have received lots of good feedback on the food and we though the service you provided was excellent. There certainly weren't any issues from our end! The cold buffet lunch you provided also went down extremely well and looked very impressive too.

Kind regards and many thanks to you and all the staff who helped make our event go without a glitch!

Best wishes & a Happy New Year!

Thanks for all your help!

Hi Chloe

Wanted to let you know that once again everyone at the event commented on how wonderful the canapes and service were. Please could you forward our thanks to your fantastic team (lovely to see some of the same faces as last year!) - they were so helpful, friendly and professional and I still can't get over how they managed to turn out so many amazing canapes in such a small kitchen - and leave it spotless afterwards!!

Thanks again for helping to make our event a success.

Kind regards

Hi Hannah,

Thank you SO much for all your and the team's hard work on the actual day and in the run up to it. For us it seemed like it went even better than we could ever have dreamt it could ever have and we and everybody else had the BEST time! The food was totally gorgeous and I think the beer went down very well too!! Only about 3 days later did we discover you magic-ed up a plate of pasta for my cousin - completely brilliant!!! Lots of people have said how lovely the food was and how good and quick your staff were with both Champagne and with dinner!

I would have sent a thankyou card to you and the team but I don't think it would ever arrive given the state of the post so am reverting to the less nice, but efficient email!

Anyhow, if I don't speak to you again, I will be singing your praises should anybody be looking for a caterer and thanks so very much once again for making our dream day come true!

Best wishes,

Emma

Hi Chloe,

Thank you for catering for the Mike Hussey Cocktail Function yesterday evening. It was a great event complimented by your outstanding service providing drinks and canapés.

We have received many comments of praise and appreciation from clients and staff and I was especially delighted with the beautiful flower arrangements you provided.

The cocktails were also a hit and looked very colourful arranged neatly on trays waiting to be served.

Many thanks for helping bring together this function. It was a successful event which I am sure will be spoken about for some time.

Best regards,

Michelle

Dear Charlotte,

Thank you so much for such a great job. You all really went the extra mile to make sure that everything went smoothly and that everyone felt well looked after. Everyone has raved about the food and the staff, saying how friendly and helpful they were. Several people said they felt they were VIP's in a five star hotel from start to finish. You were all great and it made all the difference that you all joined in the party spirit. Please thank all the staff from both us and our guests ... we all had a fabulous time.

All the very best and until the next time...

Dear Charlotte,

This is to thank you very sincerely for the work your team carried out at Romana and Adam's wedding reception last Saturday at St.Mathews Westminster.

The food and service were of an an exeptional standard and all our guests commented on the originality, presentation and tastiness of what was served. We also seemed to have got the quantities about right with your help, neither too much nor too little.

What made working with you a real pleasure was your  value for money which included your flexibility and very personal way of dealing with our wishes. We shall be very happy to recommend you to others.

Best wishes for your business as it develops.

Hi Chloe,

I'd like to thank you and all of your team for our excellent Mad Hatter's tea party in the park on Saturday. Prior to calling Penni Black I had called a few other caterer's and had received a decidedly lukewarm response. After my first conversation with you it was clear that your great ideas and enthusiasm were going to result in an excellent event. I was also very pleased by the way in which you effortlessly accommodated all of my (sometimes eccentric) requests.

We really had a fabulous time and my wife had a 30th birthday party to remember. I'm looking forward to another occasion where we can call on your services again.

Many thanks and best regards,

Kieron McCann

Hi Hannah,

It’s not difficult to supply you with feedback because Anna and I are still getting it now. You and your team have made a lasting impression  with all our friends and family. The high quality and professionalism combined with an easy style reflects well on you personally Hannah. We were in good hands all day, I really can't praise you and the guys highly enough.

Special praise for; the glorious canapés, the service staff, the cheese, nipping off to get extra soft drinks, efficiency of service, smiles, drinks on the green, dealing with strange venue guy. Please tell Charlotte the food was outstanding and beautifully presented.

I have spread your name far and wide and will continue to do so.

Best wishes,

A very happy Mr and Mrs Scorer

Hannah,

I want to thank you and Penni Black for your wonderful help on Friday night. The surprise party was a great success, and that was largely thanks to you and Penni Black.

The food was amazing, the presentation superb and the most wonderful, warm, friendly and professional staff. The Barman also did a superb job in taking care of everyone's drinks and the DJ was great. The whole team worked very well, and everything just went along so smoothly. So many of our guests commented on how good the food and staff were, and in fact, one guest has requested your contact details which I have passed on.

We shall definitely be using Penni Black in the future, and it goes without saying, recommend you to friends.

We look forward to experiencing some more of Penni Black at the Philips' Party on 20th June.

Best wishes,

Yasmin

Dear Charlotte,

Just a quick note to say how very pleased we were with everything on Saturday. The food was marvellous and the team's service was exemplary - very efficient but also very thoughtful and discrete. And they were such a lovely cheerful team too. We will certainly recommend you to friends and at least one person has already asked for your details.

Many thanks for helping make the party a great success.

Best wishes,

Rosemary Heyhoe

Hi Charlotte,

I just wanted to drop you a note and thank you for yesterday. The food was fantastic, so was the service and so many people commented on how great it was and how professional your staff were. I can't tell you how hard it is to find a company that does this well now-a-days.

Kind regards,

Hi Charlotte,

Thank you so very much for the wonderful food and service your company provided for our wedding. Both Philip and I had an amazing day; it did go too quick for us. So many of our guests have complimented on the food and the service throughout the day. Your staff were professional, courteous and extremely helpful. Everything went according to plan with no problems that we knew about!

So thank you again for your part in making our wedding day so perfect!

Jane and Philip Greenwood

Hi Charlotte,

I am just writing to thank you and your team for the marvellous catering at our party on Thursday night. The food was absolutely delicious and we received comments and praise from all of our guests who couldn't believe that such fabulous stuff kept appearing miraculously from such a tiny kitchen!

We were particularly impressed with the innovative presentation which suited our theme perfectly. The staff were calm and professional, meaning the food and drinks service was faultless - they turned up, delivered and left without any fuss whatsoever!

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to others

Many thanks,

Hi Hannah,

Many thanks all your help before and on the day of our event, we enjoyed working with you and your team you did a great job. We had great feedback regarding the food also, which I agree was superb, we will definitely consider using you guys again.

Hi Charlotte,

We are dazed and amazed by our fabulous wedding day full of happiness and so much fun surrounded by our closest friends and family. We have received so many compliments on your delicious canapés, everything was so perfect and exceeded all our expectations. Each canapé had a 'Wow' factor in flavour and presentation and the way you dressed the trays with the tropical flowers to match our own floral decorations was stunning!

You can be very proud of your staff - they really are an 'A' team - nothing was too much trouble for them, they served with such style and grace and my Mum got her cup of tea just as you said she would! It seemed to me that everything happened so effortlessly - everyone had plenty of everything - the champagne flowed and the cake was cut and beautifully served at just the right time. I'm sure that this can only be achieved by your own skills in catering and lovely cooking, which you obviously do enjoy to produce such results.

I hope that you receive more clients from friends who were there and we will certainly be recommending you.

Thank you for everything!

Best wishes,

Janet

Hi Charlotte,

We would like to thank you so much for the professional service that was provided yesterday. The event completely exceeded our expectations; everyone was professional, extremely helpful and made our evening relaxed and enjoyable. The food was great and was served in a friendly and polite manner; the staff really engaged with our guests and our team.

Everyone at Stephen Bleakley Management would like to thank you for all your hard work and we will definitely be each touch the next time we hold an event.

With kind regards,

Dear Charlotte,

Greg and I can't thank you enough for making his birthday so special. It was like having our favourite restaurant come round to our house! The food was amazing from canapés through to desert. I definitely ate more than my fair share of the canapés and I am starting to develop a serious addiction to the mini Yorkshire puddings & roast beef and the mini kebabs.

The presentation was so beautiful and my one regret was that I was enjoying myself too much to see how you were doing it. I’m completely in awe. Also how did you manage to leave the kitchen tidier than when you arrived? Greg now expects all dinner parties to be this way!

Thank you so much for the best dinner party ever.

Love from Liz & Greg

Dear Charlotte

Just back from the honeymoon and wanted to get in touch straightaway and say how absolutely fantastic our food was on the big day. Everybody raved about it, taste and presentation-wise. The canapés were so special and my fellow veggies were most impressed with our main course, as were the chicken eaters. (The buffet in the evening was so popular that by the time I got to it there wasn't a morsel left!)

I am sorry I didn't get to talk to you at the time - all a bit hectic - but thank you a million times over for making our day so special and being so organised as well, I didn't have to worry about a thing in the build up or on the day. You were so obliging, helpful and understanding! We don't do a lot of events that call for caterers (sadly) but you will be top of our list when we do, and we won't hesitate to recommend you. (And if you want to use any of this message on your website, or for me to do a line for that, I would be delighted.)

So thank you again, you helped bring our dream wedding to life!

Ruth and Russell
