Hi Richard and team,

Thank you very much for catering at our wedding on the 7th July at Pitbladdo. The food was all delicious. We have had many compliments about the BBQ and in particular the venison sausages! Where were the sausages from? A few of the guests were keen to find out.

Thank you for your patience with the bar. I will feed back to Susan about improving the Wi-Fi. I have messaged all of the guests who have yet to settle their tabs.

Thank you

Katie & Andy

Good Morning Richard

As Mother of the Bride I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the beautiful meal you cooked for Ailsa & Ali's wedding on Saturday 26 August 2023. We know how much the food was enjoyed by the guests & we had lots of compliments on our choice of chef! Thank you for being so helpful to Ailsa with all the dietary requirements.

Apologies for the start of the meal running late, from our prespective you seem to take this completely within your stride.

We would certainly have no hesitation recommending you to anyone looking for a catering company.

Thanks again

Fiona Gow

Hello Richard and Team,

I hope this email finds you well. I'm so sorry about my delayed email we have been away in the outer Hebrides, so our internet supply was poor. We wanted to firstly say a massive Thank you to YOU as you have been amazing to deal with throughout, answering our questions speedily and covering all our different requests and last minute table updates.

Secondly, we echo the whole wedding when we say the food was delicious. Each course was great and just what we dreamed of. A special shout out from our dietary requirement guests as one mentioned he got offered both desserts and was explained to about each to decide himself which was safest to eat.

Please extend our thanks to all of your staff too, they were great!!

My bridesmaid Amy has what we think is one of your platter boards, do you know if you are missing one?

Finally, my other bridesmaid Kirsty has booked you for her wedding next July, so we look forward to tasting your meals again! :)

Best,

Ailsa and Ali

Hi Richard,

We just wanted to say a big thank you to you and your team for last weekend - we're fairly certain we can speak for our everyone who attended our wedding when we say we had an absolute blast, and a big part of that was the food!

We received so many compliments on the food throughout the day! Liane particularly enjoyed the personal canapĂ© platter the team put aside for her during the drinks reception 😅

We truly couldn't have asked for better service, and we're so glad both the Brits and non-Brits could enjoy some classic British fayre.

Thank you again for making the day such a roaring success! We're so glad we got to work together.

Best,

Liane and Matt

Roxanne

Hi Richard

Just to say that you and your team did a tremendous job on Saturday and Sunday. The food was top class and spot on. Everything was perfect. People commented on how everything was cooked to perfection delicious and the service was great. That amount of fillet steak is unbelievable to get right!

We totally appreciate how difficult it is to cater for such a large number of people from a small moveable kitchen. The quality was 5 star!

Thank you so much for your attention to detail and care.

I think we still need to pay you for some things so send the invoice to me.

Best regards

Deborah and Don Nicolson

Hi Richard,

We just wanted to say thank you for catering our wedding at Fingask!!!

The food was unbelievable, everyone keeps talking to us about the salmon and the lamb - it's hard to pick a favourite - so thanks again, it was even better than what we could have imagined!

Hi Richard

We would like to thank you for the amazing food and service you & your team provided for our wedding day. We had the most amazing day which went so smoothly. The set up looked fantastic and our guests are still talking about how great the food was and the service from the staff.

We would highly recommend you to anyone.

Thank you!

Mr & Mrs Maclean

Hi Richard,

How are you?

WOW - that feels like the only acceptable way to start this email. The canapés, the meal and the evening meal were all perfect! I've never been to a wedding where there have been so many compliments on the food. The cheesecake was a particular highlight - we had an audio guestbook and this gets mentioned frequently hahaha! As you'll remember, food was one thing I was nervous about. I cannot explain how thrilled I was to have macaroni (the best I've ever had by the way) on my wedding day. Thank you for being so accommodating for a fussy bride.

Not only was the food incredible, but the team were SO lovely and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and any question, no matter how big or small, was answered so clearly. The attention to detail was second to none, and the warmth, care and passion you all showed was always evident. We have also never been to a wedding where the catering team visited the top table in between courses to ask not only if the food was good, but to find out how the day was going, that meant so much to us. It's all the little things you and your team do that really blew us away.

Thank you so, so much again. You and your team really are the best caterers around. We have attached a couple of pictures for you from the day 😊.

Thank you a million times over,

Shannon and Liam

Good Morning Richard,

What can I say Richard , only but AMAZING!!

Ian and I want to thank you and your staff for a delicious meal and first class service.

All our guest are still commenting on the quality of the meal. It was so tasty and very filling (I didn't manage evening food - I was still full) everyone raving about the pulled pork rolls too they went down a treat !

From first contact with you until the end of the meal you were in contact and nothing was a problem. Your staff are friendly, smiley and just lovely people.

We will recommend you to anyone who will listen and if they don't I'll tell them anyway!

Thank you so much

Alison & Ian Hoggins

Richard, I don't think words can quite explain just how wow'd we were by your service on Saturday. Yourself and your staff were incredible, constantly there to make sure our guests were fed and watered. We have had so so many compliments on the food, we were so impressed. Sean and I had the opposite dishes so tried everything between us and it was all absolutely delicious.

Thank you so so much for everything and a big thank you to your crew at delicious too. You guys made it such a fabulous day along with our other amazing suppliers.

Kirsty & Sean

Hi Richard,

Just a wee message to say thank you so much again for the delicious food you provided at our wedding, the food was absolutely incredible! We had lots of comments about how lovely it was, it went down an absolute storm. Your staff were very attentive and I can't fault the service you provided.

Thank you again and all the best,

Catherine

Hey Richard,

Sorry for the radio silence our end since Saturday - there was a serious clean up session and a large breather was needed! We had a brilliant day.

We just wanted to send our thanks before officially putting out the formal thank yous. Your food was incredible! Everyone was raving about it. The salmon was especially delicious, I could have had it for starter main and dessert.

Your staff are such a credit to you. We had some demanding and pain in the arse guests after a few drinks and your team all handled it brilliantly. Nothing was too much trouble and they were just so friendly and fantastic. We are so chuffed, everything went so smoothly from our point of view.

Please let us know the best place to submit a glowing review. We cannot thank you enough, honestly. You probably hear that all the time, but we truly mean it!

Thanks a million,

Lou & Ru

Hi Richard,

How are things? I wanted to drop you a note to thank you so so much for everything on Saturday. The food was out of this world, I've had so many people say it was the best they have ever had at a wedding.

We have to say it was far beyond what we expected.

If you have any photos you took on Saturday please feel free to send them to me.

Thanks so much again.

Julie

Hi Richard.

We are back home now, Just like to say thank you once more for the catering, It was top notch and everyone said it was one of, if not the best they'd had.

Please give our thanks to all your staff for their hard work, you all knocked it out of the park and made our day special.

It was so nice of you, of all people a professional, to give us such praise for our cake. The first we'd ever done (beginners luck perhaps) Glad you enjoyed it and hope you all got a piece.

Very nice to have met you and we will be sure to leave you a review via the method of your choice, just let us know.

Very kind regards and warmest thanks.

Gary and Sally

Hi Richard,

Just wanted to drop you a quick email to say thank you very much for everything you did for us on our wedding day and before! Everything went so smoothly and was exactly how we wanted it, the food was truly delicious (people are still telling us how great the beef canapés are 2 weeks on) and your team were so attentive throughout the day. We've left a Google review but let us know if there's anywhere else you'd like us to post it as would love to spread the word about how fantastic you and your team are. Thanks again for making our wedding so perfect!

Best wishes,

Hope the shot ski made you lots of money...there were lots of sore heads on Sunday!

Anna and Andrew

Hello Richard!

Thank you so much for all the support yourself and the de-licious team provided to us over the past two days and in the run up; we had such a the special and memorable day and cannot thank you enough for everything. We honestly couldn't have wished for more! The food was truly outstanding; everyone has been totally raving about it; from the canapés to the venison - literally everything. The service was impeccable too and bar ran like a dream! Many people have been saying it's the best food they've had at a wedding before!

We can't thank you enough! Happy to provide a more formal raving review if you'd like us to?

Warmest wishes,

Kiera & Gordon

Hi Richard and all the team,

Freddie and I wanted to thank you all for the unbelievable spread you put on for our wedding, it was just amazing and the food is still talked about now. You really helped create a memorable experience for us.

We have left a little review on google, not sure if this is where you would prefer it so please let me know if there is somewhere else you would like us to share it.

**Incredible Catering Experience by Delicious Catering**

We are absolutely thrilled with the catering service provided by Richard and *Delicious Catering* for our wedding! From the very first bite to the last, everything was flawless, and we couldn't have asked for a better culinary experience on our special day.

We chose BBQ family-style, and it was the perfect choice! The lamb was tender, juicy, and packed with flavour—each bite was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The tandoori chicken was another standout. The spices were perfectly balanced, and the chicken was incredibly juicy and full of vibrant, smoky flavour. The sides were just as impressive and complemented the BBQ beautifully.

The food was something our guests talk about every time we see them.

One of the highlights of the evening was the sharing charcuterie starter. It was an absolute showstopper! The spread was beautifully presented, featuring a wonderful selection of meats, cheeses, and accompaniments. It was the perfect way to kick off the meal and had our guests raving about it all night.

Richard arranged a fabulous full Scottish breakfast spread for us the next day, providing everything we needed for those tender heads.

The service was exceptional as well. The staff was friendly, attentive, and ensured everything ran smoothly, which allowed us to truly enjoy our evening without any worries.

We can't recommend *Delicious Catering* enough for any special event. If you're looking for top-notch food, incredible sides, and a truly memorable dining experience, they're the perfect choice. We're so grateful they helped make our wedding day even more amazing!

Thank you again!

Kind regards,

Vahri and Freddie Dawson
