Mrs and Mrs McGregor

My wife and I would like to say how pleased we were with the buffet and overall arrangements for our wedding reception last Saturday.  There was adequate food provided and everyone enjoyed the experience. Thank you again for making our special day complete.


Rob and Jia - Wedding

We just wanted to thank-you for all your help on August 18th. Everything was extremely professional from start to finish which meant we could just enjoy the day and not feel stressed. The meal was absolutely delicious and was also really appreciated by our Chinese friends and family. Many thanks and all the best!


Paul Lake - MCFC

Just a quick note to say a big thank you for your support with our Santa stroll.  The day was a huge success and with your help, we’ll hopefully be close to raising up to £50K which goes towards supporting our partnered  charities here in Manchester and our very own City In The Community. Here is the link of today’s pic’s on the website (http://www.mcfc.co.uk/News/Club-news/2012/December/Santa-Stroll-2012-a-big-hit-with-all-the-family).


Sophie - Dress for Success

Thank you for providing such wonderful food for our Dress for Success event last night. I have had so many compliments from guests on the food, and also your staff. It really does make a difference to an event like this when it all runs so smoothly and such high quality of food and service. The sandwiches backstage for the models were also really well received!

We will be issuing various news items on our website, social media channels to announce the total raised – I'd very much like to acknowledge Herb & Spice, and if you are happy to send us your logo I can add this to our website also.

I do hope we will be able to use Herb & Spice again at an event in the future, and I will certainly be recommending to friends, family and work contacts!


Angela

The committee wanted to pass on our thanks to you and the staff for all your hard work for our ball. Everything went like clockwork and the food was delicious as usual. Once again people commented on the lovely meal and we do want to thank you for your care and attention and your flexibility as we were so late confirming numbers.

Once again a huge thank you to everyone, your professionalism really makes a difference on the night as it is one less thing to worry about.

What can I say?  The food and servcie were absoutley exceptional!!  The themes fo regional food from Scotland, Ireland, England and Wales received an enormous number of compliments from our European participants.  The selection of dishes and the quality of the cuisine were of the very highest standard.  Even in this large venue the food served at a perfect tempreture.  All of your waitresses were pleasant and happy and our participants were absolutley delighted with the evening.  Every single detail of the catering was perfect.  I shall certainly recommend Herb and Spice most strongly to any other conference organisations.

With kind regards

Dear Duncan

SERCO INTERGRATED & MIDDLE EAST LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE-11TH/12TH NOVEMEBER 2009 - HELD AT CONCORDE CONFERENCE CENTRE, MANCHESTER

My heartfelt thanks to yourself and all your team for producing some wonderful food at our conference recently. I know you worked really hard to produce great food which was presented very professionally.

I have had a huge number of emails and comments from attendees saying how notable the food was and have never seen so many clean plates! Many commented it was the best off site catering they had ever tasted and I sure will appreciate that the delegates have attended many conferences during their careers.

Once again, my sincere thanks for helping us achieve a successful conference, especially the meat and potato pie!

Yours sincerley


Pam Finlason

Dear Karen (Cinnamon Club)

Hale Lawn Winter Party-21st Novemeber 2009 held at Cinnammon Club, Bowdon.

On behalf of everyone who attended the above event on Saturday, I would like to say how grateful we are for your contribution towards a fantastic evening.

Barabara and I have had nothng but positive feedback about the event and it is clear that everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.  The timimgs ran like clockwork( apart from our speaker who was clearly out for his '15 minutes of fame'!) and the food and the service was excellent.  Jeny, the Catering Manageress, was keen to hear how we felt her team had performed; they did not disappoint.

I'm sure it must have been frustrating with all the chopping and changing of numbers and dietary requirements but I felt communication was first class and nothing seemed to be too much trouble.

Also, thank you for the 'personal touches' you suggested (and organised) on the night; the lighting and the table decorations all added to the ambience and 'wow factor' and it was a real bonus not having to move the two tables to make room for dancing.

It may be some time before I get involved with organising another event on this scale but I would not hesitate to return to, or recommend, the Cinnamon Rooms after Saturday's success.


Barbara

Hi

The food was great, everything went to plan, the staff were excellent and everyone had a great night-no doubt you'll your colleagues how good the band were too!

Many thanks again to you and the team for your part in a really fantastic evening.

Best regards

Hi,

Thank you for all your help and the staff, in particular the waitresses who had a real battle to get round everyone....they were stars.


Lindsay & James Harper

Hi,

The food was excellent, of a very high standard and was enjoyed by all our guests.  I have never tasted Bakewell tart as good as that!  We'd like to say Thank you for a very professional service, the waitresses were very helpful.  It made for a memorable party.  We would recommend you to friends.

Thanks again


Nicky Thompson, Managing Director, Blue Chip Marketing

Hi Duncan

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to your team for a fantastic effort on friday night.

Adam was a star-juggling BBQ's in the torrential rain whilst remaining cool, calm and collected.

His ladies were a marvel-pitching in at every turn to make the evening special.

The BBQ was the first thing to greet everyone and they loved it!

Thanks once again for helping make our special night really magical.

Kind regards

Hi Misia

Please could you thank all those at Herb and Spice involved in the day that we really appreciated all their hard work and effort.  The bar staff were wonderful and extremely helpful and polite.  Feed back with regards to the food was that it was all very delicious and contributed to a very succesful and enjoyable wedding.  Many of the guests felt it was the best wedding they had been too and I am sure that part of this success was Herb and Spice contribution.
