Dear Charlie,JC, Eamonn and everyone at Red Olive.
You are simply wonderful what a fantastic job you did for us in impossible circumstances!!!
The wettest week on record not a great time to hold a marquee 21st but with JC at the helm all went smoothly.
Your food was simply delicious all our guests have been raving about it and Ed absolutely loved the lemon tart with "the Red Olive twist!"
We cannot thank you enough for everything.
Much love
The Auden family.
Sophie & Guy's Wedding at Kedleston Hall 30th August 2008
I have had so many wonderful letters about the wedding and everyone was so complimentary about the lovely food. I think a lot of people have had bad experiences of outside catering and were so pleased to have a well thought out hot meal.
A wonderful touch was the young man dispatched to give us Champagne at the foot of the steps during the photos. So welcome to the bridal party.
Cannot thank you enough and would repeat the experience tomorrow if I could. The staff were polite, efficient and professional despite the unavoidable hitches that ensued.
Once again many thanks.
Pat - Mother of the bride.
