“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and all at Vanilla Catering for the way that both events were planned and catered. The canapés for the reception looked and tasted wonderful and received many complimentary comments from those that were served. The evening buffet was extremely well planned and presented and again looked and tasted wonderful and was a showcase of the high standard that Vanilla Catering can achieve to such a large number of people in a challenging and unique location. On behalf of the entire ships company of HMS Illustrious, their family and friends I thank you all for helping to make the evening such a memorable one. ”

“You’re not just caterers – you’re event managers – creative thinkers and supporters. I can’t imagine how our wedding would have gone without the tireless effort made by everyone on the team. I never thought about what happens at 11.15 when everyone leaves or where the wedding stuff goes and more importantly how it got there. The empty bottles, the mess. For us just to simply hop in a taxi and disappear into the moonlight was divine. We simply cannot thank you all enough, for listening to our ideas, taking on board the gluten free mantra, getting into the spirit of the day and simply being awesome. We couldn’t be happier with how the day went and a large part of that was down to you guys.”

“A heartfelt thank you to you and all your team. Your professionalism was evident whilst dealing with last-minute table plan changes, guests horribly late due to traffic, and the weather conditions changing by the moment whilst preparing the buffet. At no point were you fazed and your team’s calm, competent manner at all times ensured a wonderful party which was enjoyed by all. The food was exceptional and special mention was made of the caramelised red onion & goats cheese tartlets, also the dark chocolate mousse with orange brûlée. The pork was succulent, moist and the crackling the best I have had. Furthermore, once you had finished your team disappeared quietly without any fuss leaving behind a spotless preparation area. At all times throughout the planning and preparation of Bill’s party I was confident and well informed at each stage of the proceedings and your advice on menu selection was spot on. Thank you all for a truly first class day.”
