"I would like to pass on my sincerest thanks to you and your team (especially Antonio) for the fantastic catering during our event on the weekend. I received incredible amounts of positive feedback regarding the food and level of service. The food was delicious and beautifully presented and staff were always happy to help. Your ability to cater to last minute, complex food allergies was fantastic. 
Thanks also to John for allowing us to borrow cutlery, crockery and the Bain Marie for Saturday night and for Antonio for taking it all upstairs for us. 
It has been an absolute pleasure working with you and the Ship Inn and I hope to have the opportunity to do so again. Griffith has an absolute asset in your proximity to QCA."

"Thanks so much for everything on Saturday. We had a fantastic time and our only regret is that it all went so fast. The food was excellent, everyone especially remarked on the fork dishes.  We were looked after so well on the night and really felt very special. Antonio was fantastic!  John helped Pat out so much on the day and again when we came to collect gear. You and your team have made this a really wonderful venue."
