January 2011-Simmons and Company Board Room Lunch
Hi Andrew,
I just wanted to say thank you very much for your help with Thursday’s lunch. The feedback has
been excellent in terms of the quality of food and service, and of course the admin girls were
delighted with how clean and tidy the kitchen was left (more so than when you arrived probably!).
Please also pass our thanks onto your waitress (sorry her name slips my mind). You made
everything appear effortless and took the stress out of organizing the lunch from our point of view.
We will be hosting further dinners of this type throughout the year and I will definitely be back in
touch at that point.
Thanks again

Hi Andrew,
Just wanted to say thank you so much for the fantastic dinner that you served up for us last week
for my Mum's 70th.
As you can imagine, I was a bit apprehensive about 'handing over' my kichen to you and your
staff. I shouldn't have been. Your food was absolutely stunning, both in taste and presentation,
and your staff were a delight, and really know what they're doing. On top of that - I've never seen
my kitchen so clean!
We all enjoyed what was without a doubt the best dinner party we've ever had - and I didn't have
to lift a finger! - well, apart from the one round my wine glass...
More importantly, my Mum had an absolutely fab birthday, so thanks - I'm looking forward to my
next dinner party already!
Best wishes, Kaz Ogilvie

Birthday Afternoon Tea then 4 course dinner for 60 guests-
Hi Andrew
Just thought I would say a big thank you, as we had a wonderful day and received many
compliments for our provisions! You and your staff were also complimented on your pleasant and
unobtrusive service. The afternoon tea provided night time munchies and lunch for those who had
stayed with us and were leaving in the early afternoon. So they were well used....and finished!
Best regards and many thanks,
Audrey

Hi Andrew,
Thank you again for the wonderful job you did on Saturday, 14 April.
Here is a testimonial as promised:
From planning to execution Andrew's service and attention to detail were excellent. He fully
understands what is required for the occasion and the service from both himself and Nicky was
professional and unobtrusive.
We would not hesitate to use him again and to recommend him to friends.

I just wanted to thank you again for helping make my birthday celebrations so special with the
beautiful meal you prepared. I wasn’t sure quite what to expect, but you exceeded my
expectations! Everyone commented on how fantastic the food was, your presentation was super –
and my kitchen was even cleaner when you left.
I wish you every success in your future business and should I have another special occasion to
celebrate in style, I wouldn’t hesitate to call on you again.
