Hello Rosemary  & Everyone Else who works there: I just wanted to take a minute to tell you how WONDERFUL everything was for the party. Everything was SUPERB and delicious & every other synonym in the book. Even thought we only had about 30 people, there was enough for at least twice that number, & we are still happily munching on leftovers. The presentation was flawless and the quality was impeccable. I could go on & on. Thank you all for helping us celebrate my birthday in a first-class way. My only regret is that it took me so long to find you!

Dear Rosemary & John, Thank you so much for the beautiful spread that you did for my beloved Grandads funeral. Everything was perfect and I know that Grandad would have loved that cream sponge. John you were truly brilliant and so kind to us all. You were on hand serving tea and coffee and brightening our day – which we really needed and appreciated. I really can’t thank you enough, you did my Grandad proud. I will always be so grateful and thank you once again. The sausage rolls were amazing. With love,

Dear John, I just wanted to say a big thank you from myself & my brother, for the wonderful send off at our mothers funeral on the 11th April.
There were so many more people there than I was expecting! it was amazing standing at the top of the stairs greeting this long row of friends & family… faces whom travelled from far away & those not seen for many years.

I was worried there were more than I’d quoted, (Ian & Sam Hart think there were around 70 guests) but you took it all in your stride catering for us all with ease. Frequently replenish my coffee cup with the aim of me having a ‘hot’ drink as I kept stopping to talk!

Communicating with the builders who were so considerate during the service.
Then finally having a brief quiet time at the end, to enjoy the delicious food and consider what to do with the flowers. Your service was amazing and I really appreciate your kindness & support. Very best wishes,
Alison Hughes

Far more people turned up today than I expected but you rose to the challenge and everyone had something to eat and I cannot thank you enough. Please pass on my heartfelt thanks to John & Lesley for the superb way in which they dealt with all of my guests and of course to you Rosemary in dealing with everything in such a calm manner.

Rosemary – Just wanted to say how wonderful the food was on Sunday for the christening. All my family commented on how delicious it was and there was plenty to go around with a few platefuls taken home as well. It was such a pleasure to see all the food laid out for us on our return from the church. Can you pass on our thanks to John as well.

Hi Rosemary, I just wanted to drop you a line and say thank you so much for a wonderfully catered birthday for my Mom. It was a real treat and everyone complimented the food and the service.  People are still talking about ‘the best party ever’ at The Lodge! I think a few people took your contact information for future events.
All the best Sue
