customer feedback

Seasons Deli cater for our meetings, the food is always fresh with plenty of choice.
We recently attended a friend's wedding, from the canapes to the meal & then to the reception in the evening - all food provided was of an excellent standard!

Dear James and Mel
Thanks so much for helping make our big day special! You were just simply great! Proactive before the wedding, really helpful and flexible on the day. The food was yummy, from canapes to evening buffet, and your staff was really lovely and professional. My friends and family keep asking if I can get the recipe for the avocado and crab canape from you ;-).
We wish you best of luck with your business, and will definitely be in touch next time we need some catering!
Thanks a lot
Best wishes,
Simone (and Alan)

James and Mel,

We cannot thank you enough for everything that you did for us. From the initial consultation providing so many great ideas; your patience whilst we inevitably changed our minds; your help in the run up to the wedding when chaos ensued; but particularly on the big day.

The food surpassed all our expectations. Our guests have not stopped raving about the amazing canapes, the gorgeous selection of mains and the puddings!

Your staff were all so attentive and really ensured that the day went so smoothly even when the rain threatened to stop play!

You all really helped to make it such a special day and we cannot recommend you highly enough!

With thanks and best wishes,
Leah and Brad Sinclair

Hi James,

Thank you ever so much for the fab food and service you and all your staff provided on our wedding day. The day was perfect and we would not change anything if we could afford to do it all again!! Both of us felt so relaxed on the wedding day and a big part of that was knowing that we were in safe hands. There were no dramas in the run up to the wedding and all the planning went smoothly, thank you for that.

All our guests commented on the great service that your staff provided and of course the lovely food. The food not only looked stunning but it tasted great too.

We would definately recommend Seaons Deli and have already done so to lots of our guests. We just hope that they contact you so we can taste the food again!!

Thank you ever so much

Kate and John.

Hi James, Mel & everyone at Seasons....

Jason & I just wanted to say thank you so much for making our wedding day such a success! I know you all put in a lot of hard work, and we were so pleased with results. The food was absolutely delicious, and was definitely enjoyed by everyone, I know this for sure as I think just about everyone has told me so! The little wedding cakes were gorgeous too, I need to find an excuse to have them again!!

Once again, thank you so much.
Claire & Jason

Hi James and Mel,

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your hard work before, during and after our wedding day. The service offered was impecible. It was a fantastic day and you and all your staff were simply briliant, we couldn't have hoped for better. Rest assured that we will be recommending you to anyone and everyone!!

So many of our guests have commented on how lovely the food was and we're only sorry we didn't get to eat much of it ourselves, what with all the excitement of the day. I wish we could go to another wedding catered by your team so we could enjoy it all again!!

Best Wishes

Hi James & Mel and team,
Apologies for taking so long to write, we only just returned from our honeymoon!
We wanted to say a huge thank you for your splendid effort to ensure our wedding day went smoothly as planned.
The whole end to end experience has been great for us - from the first phone call, to the menu tasting, to after the wedding was fantastic (and not to forget all the help with planning in between)! We were extremely impressed by your enthusiasm and professionalism. Our guests were very impressed with the quality of the food and the friendly service from your team.
It has been a fantastic experience working with with you. Your knowledge and understanding in our requirements was reassuring and has certainly made this part of our wedding planning stress free!
Thank you again!
All the Best,
Kate & Benson
Priory Hall - 11th October 2008

Hi James and Mel and Season’s Deli

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for making our wedding day go exactly how we intended, relaxed, chilled and without any hitches.

We asked for what I believe is unusual wedding food and serving style an informal BBQ and buffet for a 120 people and got a lot more, our guests ate from 4.oo pm all the way to 11.00 pm and they loved it!!! And best of all there was a little left over that we ate over the next two days, which we enjoyed massively.

Everybody from Seasons were happy smiley and very very helpful, we couldn’t have asked for anymore it was perfect, seriously perfect.

Finally James a big thank you for helping us with the menu and being patient with our last minute changes!
Thank you again

We would just like to say a big thank you for all the hard work you undertook to ensure that the catering for our wedding day was perfect. The hog roast was delicious, and all of our guests commented on how professional and helpful all the staff were on the day.

Wedding 5th July 2008
Thank you so much to James and the team at Seasons! The canapes and meal you made for our wedding were really delicious and we had so many positive comments from our guests. The service on the day was excellent, hardworking, friendly and unobtrusive, contributing towards the relaxed and happy atmosphere that permeated our day. James was very professional and dealt calmly and capably with any problems that appeared.

Thanks also to you James, for all your help in planning the food and drinks and table layout. We were really grateful for your advice and it was very useful to be able to keep in easy email contact with you, especially since we planned our wedding from a distance. We would definitely recommend Seasons to anyone planning a wedding in the area - this is exceptional value for money!

Many thanks and best wishes for the future,
Jean and Gary

Wedding 21st June 08 Smeethan Barn
Dear James,

Following Katie & Matt’s wedding on Saturday 21st June 2008, we just wanted to drop you a line and express our sincere gratitude for all the help that yourself and Mel and your team provided on their ‘big day’.

Your attitude has been first class from day one and the advice and support that you have offered along the way was very much appreciated. The quality of the food and service that you provided on Saturday was of the highest order.

The purpose of this letter is primarily to express our thanks but please do use this letter as a recommendation for future business. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending yourselves for any occasion that requires first class caterers.

The comments that we have received over the last few days have confirmed that which we felt ourselves that both the wedding breakfast and indeed the evening buffet were faultless. Wendy and I felt as if we could have been the only two guests present, such was the quality of the meal provided and indeed the cheerful attention paid to us by your team. I feel sure this goes for the rest of the guests as well.

Genuinely people have commented that the evening buffet was ‘ the best I have ever experienced’.

Your attention to detail and the commitment and enthusiasm of your team played a huge part in the success of the day. That said, highest quality food was what we wanted, delivered hot but at a good pace, so as not to feel rushed. You absolutely delivered on all of these points and we feel sure that we will call on you again for future events.

We wish you continued success and thank you once again for all the effort that you put in to making the day such a memorable occasion.

Kind Regards,

Yours sincerely,

STEVE & WENDY ROPER

To James

Fantastic Food and Service Thank you so much your time and care leading up to the wedding and the day. Everyone has commented on the food and your team which were both excellent

Many thanks

Michelle and David

We had outstanding food and service from Seasons Deli for our wedding reception in November 07, and would strongly recommend James, Mel and the team.

We were impressed with James' ideas, and even more so when we went for a tasting. We also noted how calm and unruffled he was, despite fitting us in on the same day as he catered a large wedding.

James met all of our requests (including a wedding "cake" made of cheese, and coming back to do a full English breakfast the next day), as well as suggesting helpful ideas to make the day go more smoothly. There was no stress, lots of good humour, and at all times we felt we were in supremely competent, professional hands.

The food and service on the day was superb. We were delighted and we received many compliments for Seasons Deli from our guests, including "probably the best canapés I have ever tasted" and "what fantastic service - friendly but not intrusive, attentive, and nothing was too much trouble". The food was delicious and beautifully presented, the staff charming, capable, and happy to take the initiative to ensure our day was stress-free.

We could not have been happier with Seasons Deli - Thank you for helping us to have such a great day!

Hi James
We married at Priory Hall in 2005. Its such a fabulous venue and we had a wonderful day and you are testament to that day being so great. Visiting you at your deli, your involvement and sugestions on what to choose as a menu prior to the day, tasting your food and of course your knowledge of Priory Hall certainly sealed your booking for us. We were very impressed with the delicious food and service you provided on the day, your staff were helpful, cheerful, professional and worked extremely hard - we received numerous compliments on the food and your staff - we can't recommend you highly enough. You and your team added the finishing touches to make our wedding day truly spectacular. Thank you and well done!
Best wishes Sonia and Julio Camanag

I called James 10 days before needing a private BBQ for 20 people in a wood. He came through amazingly, with every single detail covered (eg. bought along lighting gear, and left us Bacon sarnies for the morning!). The food was fantastic, the beer perfectly prepared, and his logistics inch perfect. Many thanks - everyone really enjoyed themselves, you had the Stag in tears, and I'm sure I'll have reason to call on your services again.

Dear James
I wanted to write and thank you and your wondeful team for making our big day on the 11th go so well. The food was out of this world and so many people commented on it. All the waitresses were great and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for being such an important part of our day and making it so stress-free. Myfanwy and Mike

This is a quick note to tell you how much we appreciated the fabulous food you provided for our daughter Vanessa and Giles wedding. It was a meal fit for kings, every choice looked wonderful and everyone thoroughly enjoyed everything. It was so good to have everything handmade and fresh, such a lot of artistic work and lovely touches. All the waitresses were excellent and very helpful. We wish you every success with your business in the future. Kindest regards Beryl and Michael Parker (Vanessa's parents)

Many thanks for the delicious food and superior service. It completed what was a perfect day. Best wishes Brendan and Clemmie

The reputation of James and Mel's team at Seasons Deli preceded them - we had received lots of recommendations for their catering when we decided to hire them for our wedding.

Now that the day is over and we are back from honeymoon, we have nothing but praise for Seasons Deli catering. When we decided that we would prefer a barbeque to a traditional sit down wedding meal, James was really flexible and gave us lots of options to look at, answering all of our questions no matter how small with patience, and giving us lots of great ideas for canapé and course combinations. As the day approached and we became increasingly stressed, James' calming influence reassured us greatly and kept everything manageable. It was brilliant to know that catering was one area we didn't need to worry about!

On the day the girls were brilliant - friendly and helpful beyond the call of duty! The food was excellent and plenty for the different sizes of appetites.

Thank you again to James and his team for everything, and no doubt see you again when you do the catering for all the people we'll be recommending you to!

All the best
Katie & Peter

what a great site to go with your fantastic catering our wedding was handled very proffesionally but with a personnal touch very well done we will reccomend you to all
