"I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for the fantastic food on our wedding day!! It was absolutely lovely and devoured by all!! The staff were very attentive and helpful. Everyone commented on how scrummy the food was and the staff at the Tithe Barn told my Dad that they were most impressed by you and the kitchens have never been left so clean!! I hope that all assists in getting your name on their recommended list of caterers. You certainly deserve to be. The cocktails went down a storm to the extent that some people have already made their own batch at home!!!!! Thanks again - your lovely food and service made our day perfect in everyway."

"Just a quick e mail to say a big 'Thank you' from the Crew of Yacht 'HQ'. The recent delivery from Conway to Ocean village was made all the easier by the crew provision box provided by Appetite.

"To Vicky and Emma We just want to thank you for a wonderful evening last saturday. The food was excellent and service was impeccable. Honestly we hardly even knew you were there, and we never wanted for anything. I have one tiny criticism that the portion sizes were a tad on the large side and by the time we got to desert we were all too full to do it justice and I'm not a girl who normally struggles to eat her pud!! You could increase your margins if you decrease the portion sizes and nobody would mind I'm sure. Have a wonderful christmas and good luck in 2011. We have and will continue to recommended your services to everyone we have met since Saturday." Jan and Dave Finnigan 16th December 2010
"Hi Vicky and Emma, I just wanted to thank you both again for making our do on Saturday such a success. We all had a great evening and would certainly have a catered for evening again, and would definitely ask you to take care of it for us. We have obviously bored our friends and colleagues with our tales from Saturday night, and I think there were quite a few rather interested in following our example. I shall leave your details on our pin board at work too, and hopefully word will spread. Wishing you a Merry Christmas." Erica and Pete Phillips 15th December 2010
