    Testimonials

    "I would confirm that our company has used the services of the "Dinner Service' to provide a Christmas Party for all our staff. Cooking for 25 people was a challenge which Wendy achieved with spectacular results, without exception all our staff were complimentary about the food and the way the room was prepared.

    The cost was cheaper than going to a restaurant which we have done in previous years. We will be using her services again and would have no hesitation recommending her as a creative chef who produces wonderful food.

    Yours sincerely"
    Mervin Bass (Lake District, December '05)

    "We have known Wendy for a number of years. She has a delightful personality with a great sense of fun. She is intelligent and articulate without being over-assertive; she is honest, trustworthy and completely reliable. Whatever task she sets herself, she does so with immense commitment.

    Wendy has prepared a variety of meals for us on several occasions. We have eaten in many fine restaurants both in this country and abroad, so we tend to set the bar fairly high when judging the standard of the food put down before us. I can honestly say that by any standards the meals that Wendy has prepared for us have been truly exceptional. They have ranged from French provincial, roasts, salads and sea-food, including lobster and crayfish. In all cases Wendy has gone out of her way to ensure that the freshest and best-quality produce is used. The presentation has always been a delight to the eye without being fussy or unnecessarily ornate; her use of herbs and spices and accompanying dishes has always been absolutely appropriate, and she is able to utilise imaginatively the products that may be dictated by a varying budget.

    We would have no hesitation in recommending her cooking to anyone. I have no objection to you contacting me or my wife if you feel you require further information.

    Yours sincerely"

    "Wendy,
    Thank you so much for Saturday. Dinner was delicious and you were great....really discreet and took away all the hassle of trying to organise 17 people - meant I could lie in the sun all afternoon stress free!

    Thanks again and good luck with the business, I wish you lots of success."
    Jane de Pennington (Park Hall Manor, June '06)

    "Hi Wendy,
    Thanks for your email. Thank you again as well for cooking for us a few weeks ago. It was delicious. Hope you've had a good break (I think you said you were going on holiday?)"
    Lisa B & Anton Bilton (Actress/Model Lisa Bilton - Buckinghamshire July '06)

    "Dear Wendy,
    Just a short note to thank tou so much for cooking and generally looking after me whilst Christine and my wife were away.

    I was probably very disagreeable given my pain from the new hip replacement and being on crutches, but you coped with me very kindly.

    A particular delight was your most excellent prawn curry, which my guest for that evening greatly enjoyed!

    With many thanks again.
    Yours sincerely"
    Mr Harry Holcroft (Lacoste, France, 12th – 19th September '06)

    "Hi Wendy,
    Just wanted to say how much we all enjoyed the weekend in the Lakes.
    All of us agreed that we were amazed at the quality of your food. The dinners were excellent , and the breakfasts, super, but the puddings( and particularly the Pavlova ,) were......gone in a flash....we were fighting for the last crumbs.

    It was great not to worry about any of the catering, and believe me we will definitely repeat this.
    Thanks from all 20 of us kids and all"
    Barbara and John Moran (Lake District, September '06)

    "Hi Wendy,
    I would like to say a massive thank to you on behalf of everyone who raved about your food and more importantly your hard work.

    Reece and you - what can I say you made  his week end  by making him a commis chef.  Aged 9 and proud. I never knew until afterwards that he got up so early and "helped " you make breakfast. He loved being with you. What a mentor. Wendy you made that kids weekend.

    Many thanks
    Karen XXXXXX"

    "Hi Wendy,
    Just to say many thanks for your wonderful cooking over the weekend. My guests said it all. The food was incredible and wonderfully different.

    Wendy I cannot thank you enough for not only planning the week's menu but providing a range of sublime dishes that appealed to both us meat eaters and veggies.

    Superb – and the puddings – well we are still talking about the amazing passion fruit pavlova.

    I cannot thank you enough. Your sincere hard work , planning and wonderful personality in the kitchen made it for us all.

    Many many thanks - Lets do it again"
    (E-mail from Karen Hughes – Lake District, Oct 2006)

    "Dear Wendy,
    We can't thank you enough for what you did. It wasn't just the delicious five star food it was all the little finishing touches. Every meal was on time and no matter how exhausted you were the smile never wavered. We really are so grateful for the wonderful job that you did and of course I will give you any sort of reference you might need. I WISH you lived closer to us in the south.   We could keep you busy Monday to Friday!

    We are actually quite a way from the New Forest, but if you would like a bed for the night on the way to that job we'd be so pleased.

    In the mean time I am plucking up courage to ask if you could go back to Mull in August, but I know you have Mathew in the school holidays so you probably wouldn't want to come.  It would be completely different, because it ia real holiday time, so nobody has breakfast much before nine and we are all very relaxed.

    I am now about to see if I can put my computer on broadband, which I seriously doubt!  I bet if you were here  you could do it in a second - you are a girl of many talents and I told you I needed lessons! In the meantime do please let me know whom you would like me to contact and anything I can do.
    Many, many, many thanks again"
    Margaret Corbett (Stag Shooting Party, Isle of Mull, October '06)

    "Hi Wendy
    Just wanted to say thank you again for a fantastic meal last night - everybody really enjoyed the food - the soup and the cheesecake were a great hit!
    Thanks again!"
