Incredible service on our wedding day

—

Jo & her team provided an incredible service for our wedding day. Completely took away any stresses or worries, she handled everything with total control and understanding. I put my full trust in her & the team, letting us totally relax and enjoy our day knowing that everything was handled to an amazing standard. The food, of course, was phenomenal. She worked with us to create our own bespoke menu based on a recipe we provided, couldn't have asked for any more. 10 out of 10.

Culinary genius

—

Jo went about creating the most phenomenal, ten course taster menu for an eclectic bunch of ten of us (with various dietary requests!), in secret, and then proceeded to manage the chaotic logistics of serving 10 courses, to 10 people in complete darkness, keeping glasses topped up at all times and without skidding over on the odd, stray morsel that hadn’t quite made it successfully to its intended destination!

Jo seemed to think of everything

—

Jo and her team catered for our daughters christening weekend and what a feast we had! It was all delicious. Jo swept into our kitchen and with minimal fuss produced a formal dinner completed with canapés for 20 and a buffet lunch the following day.

The team left everything absolutely immaculate

—

Jo was at the heart of making our party such a special and memorable event for us. We had a challenging theme (“out of Africa”) and weren’t sure how easy it would be to cater for in an authentic yet fun way. As soon as we mentioned it to Jo her eyes lit up and she was rattling off hundreds of fantastic ideas. Her enthusiasm and support didn’t slow right up to, during and after the event for which we’ll always be hugely grateful.
