Dear Linda and all at Sweet Success

Thank you so much for for all your hard work, effort in putting together all the food and drink catering and for making all run smoothly on the day. It was so perfect and all the vintage linen, crockery and little touches were just what we wanted. The room looked so lovely. I really appreciate it as I know you had a busy season and squeezed us in last minute and also had some personal bereavement at the time. It all tasted great and you did such a good job of Catering for everyone's allergies and intolerances. Will recommend you.

Thank You

Gemma and Anthony

"Words cannot really express how grateful Anna and I felt about the food at the wedding.  As sad as it seems, what we were eating on the day of our wedding was incredibly important to us.  We love good food and it’s a big part of our ‘family life’.   Sweet success didn’t just deliver what they said they were going to do, they far exceeded ours and anyone else’s expectations and took wedding food to a new level.  The wedding breakfast was absolutely superb and I cannot tell you how thrilled we were with the standard of service, the quality and presentation of the food and the overall experience given to us by Linda and her team.  Sweet Success’s value for money is just phenomenal and I would challenge anyone to find wedding food as good.  Countless people commented on how amazing the food was, so the proof really was in the pudding.  To top it all off Linda is a fantastic person to deal with, her attention to detail is a huge strength for the business.  Linda doesn’t try to over-sell, charm you into accepting something you are not quite sure about – she just convinces you from the very first moment you meet her that she is an incredibly kind, thoughtful and genuine person.  Congratulations Sweet Success you could not have been any better! 

Thank you. "

"Direct Solutions would like to thank Sweet Success for the excellent catering for our recent Open Day. A number of our guests commented on the quality of the food and the fact that it disappeared so quickly was a compliment in itself. We realise than an enormous amount of hard work goes into such an event and I am greatful to you for the part that you and your company played in making the occasion such a success. Again, thank you for everything and we will certainly use your services again in the future!"
Allistair Hunter, Managing Director, Direct Solutions

"Dear Linda, Over many years of being in business I have always had the task of seeking out tried and trusted companies that offer certain services for various matters that need to be sorted.

I was extremely pleased with the catering that you provided for my mother in law's funeral on May 23rd and would not hesitate to recommend you in the future. Many of the people who attended the wake were highly impressed on what was on offer on the day.

"...Dear Linda

With the horrendous traffic problems caused by the accident on the A12 last Friday evening, our normal five minute journey to the venue took an hour and ten minutes. However this did not spoil the occasion and myself and the other sixteen guests in our party enjoyed a wonderful 'Spanish Supper'. The dishes kept arriving and the varying tastes were sublime.

I hope your remaining two supper evenings are well supported and equally successful.

Kind regards
Terry..."

"...Dear Linda
...Thank you very much for doing all the catering - not a convenient time I know just before Christmas. But everyone had a wonderful time and they all said "What a delicious lunch!" Lots of praise especially from the chaps on the beef strog! They loved it.
...I am sure you have plenty of people for references, but if you ever would like another I would certainly give you one - it was all great - thank you... 
Love Ruth..."

"...Dear Linda
...We had so many lovely comments about our day and so much of it was down to you. Not only the standard of food and service but the whole running and timing of the day. You truly helped us make our day perfect. Everyone was blown away by my fish finger sandwiches, they said they loved them - were a great idea. We will be telling all our friends how fantastic you are!
Thank you so very much!
Love Kim & Nicky..."

"...Dear Linda
Thank you so much for your contribution to making Saturday such a wonderful, memorable day. Knowing the catering was in your capable hands, we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves.
The wedding breakfast was delicious and the staff were just right - efficient and friendly, but unobtrusive. To be honest, I didn't have room to sample the evening buffet, but it looked very appetising and seemed almost completely to disappear, which I think speaks for itself. We had many compliments from guests on the quality of the food..
Best wishes
Glenys and Bryan..."

"...Dear Linda

I thought it would be nice on two counts to give you a written testimonial.

Firstly on the excellent catering you did for one of my 'big birthdays' many moons ago and secondly after speaking to Brian Dundon last week. Brian invited some friends along to one of your recent themed supper nights and told me that they had stated it was one of the best meals they had ever experienced.

Praise indeed. Well done.

Kind regards
Terry..."

"...Dear Linda
Thank you so much for doing it for me (George's wake at the village hall) especially at such a busy time so close to Christmas.

"...Dear Linda

Firstly, thank you very much for doing the catering for Richard's funeral yesterday, everyone most complimentary. Admittedly I was a fit fazed my the overall cost to begin with, but it was great to have all that part organized provided for and served. The hot food was particularly appreciated, a lot of people having travelled long distances in appalling weather. It also gave me chance to try and speak to everyone before they went, though I think there are some I shall just have to write to.

I will certainly recommend you, should an occasion arise.

Thanks again
Jackie K..."

Thank you again for your wonderful catering - food and service was excellent, and your organisation was completely reliable and competent. It was only the weather I had to worry about and that sort of behaved!

"...Hi Linda,
I just wanted to say again - thank you very much for the wonderful catering for mum's party. The food was delicious, everyone was so impressed with it and commented on it, you and your staff were friendly, helpful and also really unobtrusive (that's a compliment so I hope you understand what I mean!) and it was such a big relief to hand over things to you and be able to relax and enjoy the party.

We will highly recommend you to our friends in the future and maybe when it's mum's 70th we will be ringing you again!

Please feel free to use this feedback on your website or wherever it is useful.

Many thanks
Anna..."
