TESTIMONIALS
"Dear Julie Thank you so much for providing us with the most delicious survivor's lunch on Sunday ....everyone thoroughly enjoyed all of the dishes. It was such a relief to know that I did no to have to worry about a thing on the day. All of the family were united in praising your food, eventually there were 10 of us left at 6 pm, we decided to use all of the left overs for another feast for our supper - the party ended around 11 pm! Thank you again Julie, I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone, excellent food and efficient service. I hope to be able to use your services again in the not too distant future." Brenda Mary C August 6 2009 "Dear Julie, I am writing to thank you for the beautiful lunch you arranged on Saturday 30 May. It was a special day with friends from Hong Kong, Fiji and New Zealand and I am delighted to tell you that everyone really enjoyed their meal and have written to me in glowing terms." Lesley & Alan W Little Marlow June 2009 Employment law practice Doyle Clayton moves office Reading-based Piers Leigh-Pollitt, an associate with Dolyle Clayton solicitors, writes ... "I think I must have eaten quite a few lorry loads of finger food in my time, but nothing has ever come close to the excellent fare provided by the caterers we hired last night. Food by Julie. And I can honestly say I'm getting no kick-back whatsoever from them. Nor am I related to them in any way. No, its an honest to goodness, old fashioned puff as a sign of gratitude for a marvellous spread and polite and efficient service. Oh, and those little meringues and chocolate eclairs were to die for. ..." Doyle Clayton Solicitors, Reading The Business Magazine - Thames Valley July/August 2009 "Dear Julie, I had a wonderful day yesterday and just wanted to thank you all for your major contribution towards it. The food was wonderful and I have already had two calls this morning from friends who particularly mentioned how nice it was. I will certainly be happy to pass your cards around. I didnt get to thank the young lady who served the drinks and canapes. It was such a good idea to have her do this.
