Stockwell Group Practice | Canape, Bowl Food and Drinks Party for 100 Guests (April 2010)

Hi Chloe,

Thanks very much for your excellent service on Friday - everyone was very impressed by your wonderful staff, seamless service, tasty food and beautiful presentation. In fact, several people came over to me especially to tell me I had chosen catering services well - so I gladly took the credit on your behalf! I have to say, I particularly liked the attention to detail with the choice of serving dishes, flowers, etc. (The trays with the coloured lights underneath went down paticularly well!).

Your barmen kept all our guests very happy and helped make our waiting room look like a different place too! In fact, I was impressed from start to finish. The only thing that I would change is that I wish I'd concentrated on tasting more of the food- I missed out totally on the wild boar sausages! I will definitely be recommending your company and keeping your details for future work and personal events.

Best wishes and thanks once again,

Nadia

Hen Party, Kensington (May 2010)

Hi Chloe

Just wanted to send you an email to say a BIG thank you for the efforts you and the team put in for Saturday's hen party in Kensington. The team were very professional and definitely exceeded my expectations. The Thai food was superb - everyone commented!

So compliments to the chef! The waitress and Penni Black hostess were brilliant. The hostess did a fantastic job of the bar and put up with 23 screaming ladies for the best part. She really did a great job - please pass on my thanks. And of course, thank you to you! All the tooing and frowing paid off and I really appreciate you making this work for us.

I will definitely recommend Penni Black.

Connected, Christmas Canape & Drinks Party for 250 Guests, Covent Garden (December 2009)

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

Principal Global Investors, Buffet Lunch with Sir Ranulph Fiennes for 80 Guests (December 2009)

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!

College of Occupational Therapists, Canape Reception for 100 Guests (November 2009)

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

Commonwealth Bank of Australia (September 2009)

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

40th Birthday Party, Chiswick, London (September 2009)

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...

Mad Hatter's Tea Party (July 2009)

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

Suprise 40th Birthday Party (June 2009)

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

Heyhoe Party (May 2009)

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,

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,

It was like having our favourite restaurant come round to our house...

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
