I would just like to formally thank Steve, Karen and their team for a seamless and professional service last night and for the incredible efforts they put into the preparation in the weeks before – Karen was an absolute star.  I have had many people comment to me today on how delicious the food was, how efficient and friendly service was and what a delight it was to enjoy such a fantastic meal.  We are very lucky to have great caterers who work extremely hard to deliver the perfect event for us – the best one we’ve had in years!

Grateful thanks to Lorraine and her bar team for their equally seamless and professional service and hard work.  No-one waited long for drinks, empties were cleared efficiently and the atmosphere was a fun and friendly one.

I also think everyone will agree how brilliant everyone looked in their standard smart black uniforms with gold ties and bow ties.  It tied everything together and made for a very professional feel to the evening.
