Hi Stephen,

Many many thanks for a wonderful dinner on Friday.

Every dish was delicious and I am in awe of anyone who can produce 8 perfectly cooked snapper fillets at the same time! We were all immensely impressed.

Many thanks once again

Good morning Stephen

A big Thank you for the superb food and staff we had on my special night. Everyone commented on the food, it was all delicious. Also your staff were excellent, unobtrusive but observant and the night went really well. As I am usually in control it was great to let someone else handle everything without me interfering and being able to relax with no worries etc.

We will definitely recommend your services to others, as you were recommended to us, and hopefully will do business again .

Hi Stephen

Thanks for an awesome night on Saturday. Wendy and her guests had a fantastic time, and we all thought the food was amazing. My brief to you was fine dining and you delivered that well, with great looking food that was also tasty to eat. You made the whole experience easy for me, and obviously wowed the guests by their desire to, ahem, get to know you better!!

We will definitely be recommending you to people we know, and will use you again if we have occasion for another decent party.

Kind regards

Grant
