Gail Blick Mother of the bride, Wedding 12th May
Hi Emma – Your excellent staff demonstrated great teamwork and provided a superb service; your food………? Well, your ears must have been burning from all the compliments coming your way……..but more of that when we speak……. Many thanks, Gail, ps the bread was amazing…….!!!!!
Clare and Ben, Wedding 21st April
It was an amazing day (the only dry one in April) and the food and staff surpassed all expectation – indeed we are still getting comments about how amazing the meal was. Our favourite one was from the priest, Fr Tom, who said “The food was outstanding. To get all those meals out at exactly the same standard is something you usually don’t find at a wedding” – and he should know, I expect he’s done a few!!
Thanks again, we’re so chuffed with everything. And the bar staff were gems – use them again!
Matt Cottrel – Director y3sgroup. 3rd May
The event was fantastic and your staff did a superb job. There was not a single glitch. Special mention has to go to Richard was extremely professional and polite from start to finish. The guests, who thought he was our housekeeper(!) were extremely impressed with him. He is faultless, and a credit to your business.
We will of course, use ej for any future catering requirements.
Mother of the Bride below! 31st march 2012
This is Menna, Esyllt’s mother from Aberystwyth. On behalf of my husband Elgan and myself, I should like to thank you and your staff for all your hard work in Tregaron Memorial Hall on 31st March, catering for Esyllt and Ben’s wedding. The food was wonderful, and everyone who has spoken to us has complimented you. The day went very smoothly, and your contribution to that was very much appreciated. We were impressed by the way the waiters and waitresses went about their work quietly and efficiently, and blended into the proceedings so well. Please pass on our thanks to them. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to others.
First Bride of the year 31st march 2012
Please tell everyone who came up on Saturday a massive big thank you from myself and Ben. I have never heard so many compliments about food at a wedding before!! The lamb, ham and Dorset cake were firm favourites and a lot of people have been asking for your details.
Thank you again for making our day so much easier and memorable xx
Deloitte Rugby Luncheon 18th March 2012

Private house party – Another 50th Birthday bash – 10th March – yes same day!
I just wanted to drop you a line to say how wonderful the catering and service you provided for my 50th was on Saturday. The food was AMAZING and so beautifully presented, it certainly had the ‘WOW’ factor I was looking for! You’ll be glad to hear that you’ve had lots of praise from our guests. If you have any photographs (think Chef took some) I’d love a copy to add to my album of the night! You helped make my night very special and I would be delighted to give prospective clients my endorsement – you truly deserve to continue your success, you’ve a very talented team of people working at EJ.

Just a quick note to say thanks very much for the lovely canapés you made for us on Wednesday evening. Everyone has commented on how tasty they were – also a lot of people were asking who provided them so hopefully you will have some repeat orders!!
Heather Stevens 31st Dec and 1st Jan 2012
Thanks once again for the wonderful catering and drinks at the party. We really can’t thank you enough both for the excellent food (which really was great I am only sad that I didn’t get to eat more of it, but the 2am pizzas were a true delight and so very welcome!) but also for the fantastic performance of both yourself and all of your staff, in terms of kindness, helpfulness and general willingness to please, in caring for all of our guests. The one additional thing I wanted to say to you was how much of a pleasure it was to work with you personally. You were always cheerful, easy going and accommodating whatever was proposed to you. I would be more than happy to give you a really excellent reference.So, thank you once again for all of your help both before hand, during and the day after. You made my life much easier and happier so you have my personal thanks. And of course, thank you for the wonderful food throughout – just marvellous.

Would just like to say thank you to the team for last night. Canapés were delicious and the service was great. Everyone commented on how good everything was.
Private client, Christmas party 2011. We are back with them in June for the wedding
I just wanted to drop you a line to say how brilliant our Christmas party was on Saturday night. So many people commented on how fantastic the food was and the staff were excellent. In particular Nathan and Gail who were just brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble for them and we are looking forward to working with Gail again at the wedding in June!
Private client – Surprise birthday party for husband – December 2011
The party was a great success , Richard and Analise were charming and calming and could not have been better. Every single guest commented on the wonderful food. The service was excellent. Your lovely chef was fantastic with the children allowing them into the kitchen for leftovers and observations – my nine year old wants to be a chef and is now even more inspired
Private client – 18th birthday party – December 2011
Thank you Emma for a wonderful night Saturday the food was absolutely superb and lots of people commented on it – please thank your waitresses for a job well done also
Gina Goddard-Bell – PA to Divisional Director, Head of Office
Only good things to say – everything ran incredibly smoothly. Richard was an absolute hero, and Nathan probably the calmest chef I’ve ever met. Everyone enjoyed the lunch very much, and I can certainly vouch for the yummy starter as Nathan very kindly plated me up a portion. It was absolutely delicious!
Huge thanks to them both for their professionalism, help and obvious talent. It was great, and so were they.

19th Sept 2011
On behalf of the CIPFA Cymru Wales branch executive, I want to say a huge thank you to everyone at ej catering for making our conference dinner such a success. The meal was delicious and the catering team very professional. Particular thanks to Gail for her excellent leadership through the evening. I know some of our guests ‘ last minute demands, and the timing of the speeches, left the team with a challenge – but they delivered!
We very much hope to be able to work with you again sometime in the future
Mother of the bride Sept 2011
Many Thanks for such a professional service – the food was fantastic and the service just right. I compliment you and your staff. You will definitely be recommended by us.
Thank You, Weddings

“we were absolutely delighted with all aspects of your service last Saturday. The food was universally praised and the team couldn’t have been better. It made our celebration exactly as we wanted and reflects your very special talents and those of your colleagues”
Carolyn Lyons, Mother of the Bride, Wedding, 28th May 2011, @ Home Marquee in St Hilary
I wanted to thank you and your team for helping to make Keira and Adam’s special day such a delight. We have had so many compliments about the food. This is what we have come to expect whenever you cater a Lyons family event. What I would especially like to mention is your thoughtfulness and attention to detail as well as the friendly and professional service that is given by your staff. From the unique wedding cake to the addition of wedding flowers on the canapé serving trays and on to the beautiful display of cheeses for the cheese course, your artistic efforts matched your culinary ones and far exceeded expectations. Please extend our gratitude to Andrew, your office staff, catering staff and servers for providing a service that was appreciated by us all, especially the mother of the bride.
Mum & Dad, Sara & Dicky’s Wedding, 30th April 2011, Paget Rooms, Penarth
Thank you so very much for the superb food and everything that you provided at our daughter’s wedding, on the 30th April in Penarth. The local delicacies that you produced are still talked about by many of the guests and I think they will be for a long time to come. I know that Sara and Richard were also very happy with the day and I would also like to thank again all your charming and helpful team who made the day go with a swing. My husband Mark and I are very grateful and thank you once again.
Once again thank you…..kind wishes….

Guests of Sara & Dicky’s Wedding, 30th April 2011, Paget Rooms, Penarth
Just a note to say how impressed we were with the catering for Sara & Dicky’s wedding in the Paget rooms. The food was delicious, eye catching and healthy and really went with the vibe of the whole day. I will not hesitate to use you in the future for functions.
Emma & Chris (previous bride and groom), surprise recreated wedding menu, 2nd anniversary, 4th April 2011
Thank you very much Karen all of you at EJ Catering! The surprise was very successful – Chris thought it was a fantastic idea and we enjoyed a leisurely evening relaxing together with delicious food and drink! It brought back memories of how fantastic the food was at our wedding 2 years ago. So thanks for helping to make our wedding day 2 years ago such a success and for helping us have a brilliant wedding anniversary yesterday.
May I thank you and your team for providing us with an exceptional buffet for our Chevaliers Bretvins Summer Garden Party. Thankfully we found a window in this awful recent weather such that the sun shone all day. The dishes you prepared were excellent and thank you for your generous cheese plates. I was a little concerned about qualities knowing how ravenous our mob can be. I need not have worried. Not even they could totally clear their plates. How ideal to have such good quality food in sufficient quantities. The menu cards were a nice little touch and hopefully will guide further business in your direction. You certainly deserve it. A special mention for Harry for working early on a Sunday morning, and delivering the food well on time. Peter Andrews, Ordre des Chevaliers Bretvins, 22nd August 2010
We also wanted to thank you for your part in making our wedding so special, It was perfect for us, and even though it is a cliché, it was the best day of our lives. We really appreciated the time you took to plan our menu carefully – it really reflected our tastes and was exactly the type of food we love to eat. All of our guests commented on the high quality and flavours of the food – we even recommended you to friends, who were slightly disappointed when they realised you were Welsh and not from London! The canapés, dinner and cheese buffet were all perfect! You aand your staff also delivered excellent service and ensured everything ran smoothly – like clockwork. Thank you so much. Rachel & Ed, Bride & Groom, St Donats, 1st August 2010
Just a quick note to say a huge thank you for all your help in organising our wedding on 10th July. Your organisation, culinary expertise in a field and, more importantly, patience, are outstanding! We really appreciated all your assistance in the run up to the wedding and on the day itself and were mightily impressed by how you managed to keep everything running so smoothly despite melting wedding cakes, etc.! Everybody commented on how good the food was, and we’re recommending you to everyone in South Wales and beyond. Thanks again. Louise & Matt, bride and groom, 10th July 2010, Penrice Estate, Gower
I was going to call you to say how great the team was, as usual!!. Harry and staff did an excellent job and there were loads of complements about the food. From my part the best part is that as soon as you arrive I can completely relax knowing its all sorted. Ej catering provides such professional service I would happily recommend you to anyone. Big thanks also to Jesus who was so good and helpful. Paul and I just enjoyed ourselves! Thank you all so much. Tricia Lowe, Birthday Bash at home in Cyncoed, 19th June 2010
Thanks again for all you and your team did at the Fusion event on 23rd June. All our guests and in particular the Directors at Robert Hitchins and Fusion Point were delighted with the food – they said it’s the best they had eaten at a catered event. Thank you from me too, for working well with Sam Herbert; it really is a great help having help ‘on the ground’ when I am far away from the venue. Thanks once again. Carole Stacey, The Amaranti Group, Corporate Event, 23rd June 2010
Bride and groom now left for the US 
and we are all trying to come back down to earth. We had a great day and Emma and her team came up trumps! Everyone was very impressed by the high standard of the meal and the friendly and efficient service. The very welcome hot spiced cider went down extremely well after coming in from the cold. The appetisers were superb and plentiful- the sausages & mash – went down a wow! Risotto was lush- and everyone enjoyed the carving of the lamb- think the male “I’ll do the BBQ attitude” kicked in and it was a great ice-breaker. The lamb was delicious ……and those roast potatoes…yummy. All the waitresses and bar staff were very attentive and friendly. We have had sooo many compliments about the catering- think the marquee man took your details as he reckons that he has problems recommending anyone locally so I wouldn’t be at all surprised if you have to make your way back down the M4 again soon – hopefully not in the snow! Rose Harvey, Mother of the Bride, marquee on a snowy cliff top in Swansea, 9th January 2010
I would like to formally thank you and your team for all the hard work that was put into making the True Taste Food and Drink Awards ceremony such a success. It was a great evening and I have had many compliments on your food, as well as the service on the evening. It was not an easy task and in difficult circumstances but you coped admirably! In particular I would like to thank you for your attention to detail, patience and dedication to the project, including your efficient responses to all our queries. I hope that you enjoyed the experience of working on the True Taste Awards project, and I hope that we will be able to work together again in the future. Don’t forget to watch the ceremony on the hour long special edition of The Wales Show at 10.30pm on ITV Wales tonight! Many thanks. Nerys, Howel Food, on behalf of Welsh Assembly Government True Taste Awards at Abergavenny Market Hall, 450 Guests for Sit down a la Carte, 19th November 2009
