Rob, Tina and Maddie look forward to hosting your event at The Olive Bowl, or a venue of your choice, and experiencing their superb catering.
"Dear Maddie and George, We had an amazing day and were absolutely delighted with the quality of the food, high standard of service, organisation and how friendly you were with our guests. On a personal note, I particularly loved the desserts and couldn't believe how nice they looked when I saw them all laid out on the table. James would like to know if it is possible to order any personal pies as he hasn't stopped talking about how good they were since we left Gants Mill. Thanks again, and we really appreciated your helpfulness, advice before the wedding and hard work throughout. Best regards"
