Dear Laura & Team,
Just to say thank you so much for the delicious Lamb Tagine meal that you provided for our celebratory 80th Birthday meal in the Cotswolds on Saturday night. All the family loved it and as I was unable to cook due to a broken arm, you really ‘saved my bacon’ at very short notice. We will be recommending you to family and friends!

I just wanted to say a personal thanks to you and your wonderful team for the catering you did for Mum’s funeral on Friday. The food you provided was lovely and enjoyed by everyone, I had so many people thank me for the lovely food and your two team members were fantastic.
MarkThe team were amazing from start to finish for our Wedding Day. No request was too much and I am a very fussy person! Absolutely everything was bespoke to our requirements. The food was beautifully presented and tasted insane. All my guest were raving about it for ages afterwards . The service was impeccable and they catered to every possible need. I will be recommending Gourmet Foods to my circle and definitely be using them again.
Mark JacobsWe had a very special event and what made it so special was the catering provided by Gourmet Foods. The sit down catering not only looked stunning it tasted amazing. Had numerous comments afterwards from many guests. Organisation / decisions prior and during was relaxed & efficient, caring, attention to detail and I know this was one reason the day was a very special day. Nothing was too much and their staff were fantastic. Made the day even more special - thank you to all the team.
Jo ParkinEfficient, effective, stunning delivery. Warm and friendly, every guest took pictures uninstructed!
Simon SinclairFenella and her team were simply brilliant! From the beginning I felt in safe hands and Fenella's experience kept me calm and confident that all my requirements would be taken care of. The presentation of the food was amazing; we had afternoon tea on arrival, with beautiful little cakes decorated with flowers, delicious fillings in the sandwiches. In the evening we had several options, with lots of sides - all so yummy and wholesome! We have had so many compliments from our guests.
Caroline DillonFantastic experience for our Wedding Day! Great guidance for us and helpful direction. The team with us on the day was brilliant and chef fantastic. The taster menu was really good too. We’re so happy we booked you guys!
Mary FletcherGourmet Foods is an absolute gem. They delivered an amazing buffet for my hen weekend followed by a stunning graze board for my wedding party. I have never seen anything like it. It was perfection and the talk of all our guests. No one had ever seen a 4 metre long spectacular grazing board that spread the length of my worktop. When food becomes art and talking point, it must be celebrated. It was high quality food, artistically presented, and highly photographed by our guests. Stunning work!
Sharon ClayOur wedding catering was entirely Vegan, the team at Gourmet Foods created an amazing menu, bespoke to our tastes which went down a storm with all of our guests. They advised what would and wouldn’t work and the food choices we made did not disappoint! We went to visit in the shop initially and then had a taster, the team were all so helpful and this carried through to the day as well. The team looked after everything seamlessly.
Sarah WillsFenella and her team were absolutely amazing. Efficient, accommodating and professional. They went above and beyond to give us the most wonderful Wedding day. Particular highlights include the croque-en-bouche which they assembled on the day (!) and the superb evening street food — evening food is often overlooked but this was delicious!
Helen Watkinson Fenella, Laura and team,
We just wanted to say thank you to you and the team for an incredible job on Saturday. All of my friends commented about how amazing the food was and the team, everyone was so attentive and the clearing up was second to none too. We would absolutely book you again and recommend you.

Dear Fenella & Laura,
I wanted to write and thank you for such amazing food. You and your team worked so hard to make Hellie's and Duncan's wedding day so special with such delicious food . You made it seem effortlessly easy but as we know it was a tight squash round some of the tables !! John and I have had some lovely thank you letters and so many guests told us it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. Best wishes and just a huge thankyou for everything!
To Laura & Fenella
I would like to extend our thanks to you and your team on the food and service on Friday, it was excellent! The food was presented beautifully and it tasted equally as good. We had nothing but positive comments from our visitors (and the staff that helped eat the leftovers)
To Fenella and Laura,
I just wanted to thank you for the incredible team of staff who came to assist with our corporate hospitality event last night. The service was impeccable, the food was delicious and all done with minimal questions, beautifully turned out staff, warm, relaxed and accommodating style. I honestly would recommend the team to all of my network. It was left tidy, immaculately clean and organised. No fuss was made about the guests still being there when they were finishing up. They loved my animals and even took the flowers from guests and placed them in water for me! The girls left me totally free to host my guests and enjoy the event myself. You have a fabulous team at Gourmet Foods - seriously impressive!
To Fenella and Laura,
I would just like to say a massive thanks to you, I am going to use you again and recommend you to everyone I know! Your menus are superb with excellent service, you also take the legwork out of the whole process for your client and remain so in control. I actually organised all of this whilst en route to Dartmouth for a few days and I was full of anxiety until I contacted you and your team. The food was delicious which is even more of a bonus!
Good morning Fenella,
Thank you for all you did to make it such a fantastic event, all my guests were absolutely blown away. Many have enquired about the food and styling, and I am very happy to recommend you. Thank you for being so professional and unflappable - it was a pleasure to work with you. I hope you receive the card in the post this coming week to thank the team. Kind regards and many thanks.

Thank you so much for the wonderful service you gavwe eneryone at our staff garden party. It was almost as if you knew I was struggling and you just took over everthin without me even saying a word. At the end of the party, when I finally limped back to the kitchen I was overwhelmed that the kitchen was immaculate. Perhaps even more important the food was delicious and everyone commented on the variety and ‘yummyness’. Thank you again for making the garden party such a success. Best wishes,
Dear Fenella and Laura,

Thank you very much for all your time and hardwork over the last few days, weeks and months leading up to Cate and Pete’s wedding.
I want to thank you and your team for your efficiency and professionalism, you were a pleasure to work. The food was highly praised throughout the day, not only by the wedding guests but also the suppliers – those puddings were a treat for us!
After seeing Cate and Pete on Sunday it was clear the wedding was everything they wanted it to be and more and that couldn’t have been achieved without you.

Emma DiceyI just wanted to take the opportunity to thank everyone at Gourmet Foods for the fantastic service they provided at the wedding. The food was delicious, the presentation impeccable and the service was really impressive. Despite the fact that there were 130 guests in a marquee, each course was served promptly and guests commented that the waiting staff worked hard to ensure that everyone on the table was served together. Delicious pink lamb – just how we like it. We really appreciate the effort that everyone put into the day.
We really appreciate the effort!A huge thank you to you and your team for last night. It was a very successful event from our point of view with really good feedback from all our customers.

The Chairman, The Guardians of St. Alphege ChurchI just wanted to say how grateful I am to you and your team for the catering on Saturday. The steak was absolutely perfect and lots of guests complimented the food. I’m afraid I was too busy talking to eat every canapé but the crab tart and truffle one were amazing. We also found your staff to be really helpful and particular thanks to Jacqueline and Oliver for their sterling work on the bar. Knowing that you were in charge meant I could relax and enjoy the evening – which I certainly did.

Alison MarshallI just wanted to say how absolutely delighted we were with all the food at the wedding. It was all beautifully present, tasted delicious and was everything we could ever have wished for.
I cannot thank you enough for your efficiency, attention to detail and precision in delivering the food for our event. It really could not have gone any better and I really do appreciate the effort you have put into making this a very special day for us all.
Jo BloomA great big thank you to all at Gourmet Foods for helping to make our anniversary celebration very special! Delicious food – First class service!
Mr and Mrs FosterI just had to let you know, although I think other wedding party attendees may have done so already, that Ruth (the wedding planner) told Rachel that in 13 years she’d never worked with such an efficient catering operation as Gourmet Foods. We all had a fabulous day and can’t thank you enough for the food you produced on Saturday.
I’m sure there were hiccups behind the scenes but I was certainly not aware of them – I know the setup wasn’t quite what you wanted but I can’t thank you enough for, despite this, helping to make Will and Rachel’s day such a wonderful one. When I saw the seating plan with allergies and “dislikes” I realised I have no idea how you cope!!
Thank you so, so much – you all did a fabulous job and your staff were brilliant.
LindaA huge thank you for everything this weekend. Everyone was raving about the food and your waiting people were wonderful. Thank you.
WillAwesome job, well done. Lots of people said very nice things about the catering. The whole team were at such a high standard, the food was spot on, thanks so much for your and the team’s part in making a fantastic day run so well.
