“Thank you both so much for a lovely meal and a care free evening. The food was amazing and you both worked so hard. The first thing my father in law said this morning was what an exceptional meal it had been (and he rarely compliments lol). Thank you again. ”

Sue Maggs

“I just wanted to say a massive thank you for making Saturday evening so special. We all had a wonderful time and you and Molly were amazing! The food was absolutely delicious! We couldn’t fault anything! I have very high standards and not ever doing anything like this before I was a little concerned, but wow! You totally blew us all away, we never even knew you and Molly were there. I would highly recommend you and I’m just sad we don’t live nearer to you! Thanks again for making Steve’s birthday celebration so special.”

Clare Chedzoy

“I just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for coming to Holemoor Stables to cook dinner for us all last week. It was all absolutely delicious and what a treat to have it all prepared and served at our holiday property. Every one of us really enjoyed all the dishes that you cooked and were so pleased with the way that the evening went. It was lovely to meet you and we would happily recommend your services to anyone. ”

Isobel Gilbert

“Thank you Gayla for coming and cooking an absolutely delicious celebratory meal for us. The food was incredible and your attention to detail and presentation was impeccable. We agreed that it was much nicer than dining out and we wish you lived closer so that we could ask you to cook at our dinner parties at home.”

Chedgy party

“Well what can I say….your food was fabulous, waitresses lovely and not a dirty dish to be found…everyone said how much they enjoyed the meal. Sorry about one of our guests that loved to poke his nose in while you were preparing dinner….there’s always one! When we go back to Beaverbrook or in the area we will definitely be contacting you again.”

Sarah McVey

“We just wanted to say a very big thank you for the delicious meal you cooked us last Sunday. We thoroughly enjoyed it and although it might have seemed a bit chaotic at times with babies and dogs, it was so lovely to be waited on! And you left the kitchen cleaner than it was when you arrived! We couldn’t fault anything, the food and service was wonderful.”
