"Thanks again for all of your assistance both before, during and after the event. You made an event that could have been so complicated very smooth logistically and I know it took some flexibility from your end. It did not go unappreciated or unnoticed."
Matt, Gentleman's Ball 2012, 26/06/12

"Thankyou very much. We thoroughly enjoyed the venue and felt very well cared for. It was very interesting to hear John's story of The Ship Inn. It added an extra dimension for us and everyone also enjoyed chatting with John - and he likewise I suspect!
Many thanks to you and the chef for the care and consideration to our food. It was much appreciated."
