I just wanted to say thank you for providing such wonderful food yesterday! Many of the guests commented and said how wonderful the food was. I appreciate how hard you worked to get everything right! The desert selection was particularly divine! The quantities of food worked out very well and we had very little over which is pleasing.
I also wanted to particularly thank Jess , Georgie , Douglas and Michael for doing a splendid job. They organised the evening beautifully and were very helpful and pleasant with our guests. Many, many guests commented how lovely the staff were. Please pass on our thanks to them.

Hi, Ruth,
Thank you for the delicious food that you delivered today. Everyone was deeply impressed with all the dishes and they were all very well and tastily fed by the time that the celebration was finished. In the future, if anyone asks my opinion of “Forkful Food” I shall be pleased to render a glowing report. You made a huge contribution to the success of the day.

Hi Ruth
Hurrah! A great success! The food was amazing and certainly plentiful. The staff were incredibly helpful and efficient and cocktails, delicious!!
After so much planning and very little sleep, we were both thrilled with the party so a big thank you for being our caterer and advisor!! It would not have been the success it was, without your involvement.

Dear Ruth,
Thank you for the most delicious meal you prepared for us on Thursday. Several have commented on how much they enjoyed their choices and both Adrian and I did too (starter, Monkfish and pudding). The vegetarians loved the Ottolenghi dish wish I also tried a bit of and think it is the best vegetarian dish I have ever tried! It all ran very smoothly and Tom and Doug were both lovely (several have commented on that too). They left my kitchen all sorted which was great!

Dear Ruth, Just wanted to thank you so much for providing such a delicious spread for our Father’s ’80th’ Birthday lunch last Sunday, everyone much enjoyed your food, they came up for seconds, always a good sign! The Chocolate Cake was wonderful, we popped an ’80’ candle on the top and along with the berries and cream it made a perfect dessert. We’re so pleased we were passed your details – we’re not sure we could have done it without your help. It was a lovely relaxed party, with plenty of wine flowing!
Thank you again for everything.

Supper last night was absolutely delicious, we had such a lovely evening and the staff were great – I didn’t have to do a thing. We were all so impressed with the food, all so imaginative.
Clare, October 2021
Dear Ruth,
Saturday night was such a success with the most delicious food!
Thank you very much indeed for delivering our drop-off dinner party; such a great concept, all very easy to finish off and put together – with expert help in the form of Jess! – and all of us loved every mouthful. The main course was especially delicious – the beef fillet was just melt-in-the-mouth sublime! We had enough leftovers for a light lunch with the boys yesterday who both agreed it was incredibly good!

Anna, September 2021
Hi Ruth,
Thanks so much for catering Daisy’s Christening it really was a very special day and the food was so delicious.
Emma, August 2021
Dear Ruth,
I wanted to say just how amazing your food was. To be honest, I was so busy that I ate nothing until almost the end and then I understood all the ooh’s and aah’s from everyone. I put the seared tuna in my mouth and WOW! I could not believe how amazing it was. I had one goats cheese and one confit duck. Both super delicious.
It was sad that that there we so little left for me, but I know that everyone thought the food was super fantastic. My husband had a good evening though and said that all of it was really, really delicious. I basked in reflected glory because all I did was book you. You did the rest!
Lael, July 2021
Hi Ruth,

Anne-Marie, July 2021
Dear Ruth,
Thank you so, so much for your absolutely delicious food for last night! Everyone commented on it throughout the evening. The amounts were perfect, it was so easy for me to serve. Honestly, I can’t thank you enough. It made all the difference and we had such a special evening. If you ever need me to speak to a potential client I would be so happy to do so. Very very many thanks
Lucy, July 2021
Ruth, it was so lovely to meet you today and I am just blown away by your service, the food and Helena and Comfort! They really are the Dream Team! They were just amazing and so many people commented on how helpful and polite they were.
We just loved the food – it all went down well with the crowd, so thank you for your recommendations and help with choosing and numbers!
Debbie, July 2021
Dear Ruth,
Just a very quick note to say how much everyone enjoyed your marvellous eats – many compliments and they gobbled the lot. Thanks so much for enabling us to have such an effortless party which was a great success.
Vivien, July 2021
Dear Ruth,
There was a chorus of praise for your eats … Exceptionally delicious, and a big factor in making a huge success of the party (along with sunshine in a beautiful garden and the novelty of a party for old friends after lockdown …). Thank you again for splendid food!
Jane, June 2021
Thanks so much for all the delicious food on Saturday. Everyone loved it!
Helen, June 2021
Dear Ruth,
Your food was absolutely delicious. Everyone truly loved it – thank you very much indeed from Georgia, Toby & myself and all the others who were there on the day.
Vickie, June 2021
We just wanted to say thank you so much for everything on Friday. You have been lovely throughout the planning and execution of this celebration and helped create exactly what we had hoped for my sister’s special night. The food was absolutely delicious (which you no doubt gathered from the empty plates!) … Jess was a lovely addition and, other than all her help during the meal, I can’t tell you how happy I was to have a pristine kitchen afterwards!
Thank you ! Huge Thank you for looking after James and Sarah so well from spending the time inspiring them to being with us all on the day in the wilting heat! As always your food was absolutely delicious and looked soooo pretty with the little vases and delicate sprays… Johnny and Comfort were an absolutely delightful addition to the party, Johnny manfully fighting to keep the Champagne chilled in 38 degrees, and Comfort doing exactly what her name suggests. James and Sarah had a really wonderful wedding day and Sarah’s parents were so appreciative of everything that was done to make the day special at such short notice.
I really can’t thank you enough for everything you did here last night. The evening was so wonderful, enhanced by your delicious food and amazing service. You made sure everything was so smooth, efficient and calm in the kitchen (which you left spotless) and Jess and Vid were absolutely lovely.
Thank you for our fabulous drop-off dinner party the week before my wedding. Everything was out of this world. The duck was like butter to cut, it melted in our mouths. And the celeriac mash was soooooooo good. One of my pals was blown away by the tarte tatin, in particular.
I just wanted to say the food was magnificent and we had a wonderful evening – it reminded me of Babette’s Feast – when the food is right the atmosphere is joyous so thank you so much for all your effort and care and excellent choice. It was really appreciated.
I wanted to say a huge thank you for your wonderful catering which helped us have a fantastic celebration. The food was beautiful and delicious, and the waiting staff were superb and faultless. We had numerous compliments about the food and I’ve passed your contact details onto some local friends.
Having never done a catered event before I was a bit nervous at the outset but once we had exchanged a few emails I felt completely reassured. Thank you again.
What amazing food! So so so many compliments to pass on from the guests – truly delicious. My brother-in-law thinks all food should be served in chorizo cups! Thank you again for making it all so easy and a wonderful job. Not planning on any more christenings (famous last words!) but if we need any catering again will be sure to be in touch. Also the waitress was brilliant – super efficient and lovely.
THANK YOU so much for everything you did on Saturday night. I had a fabulous time; it really was the perfect birthday celebration. I knew everything was in safe hands after meeting with you, but the food really did surpass all my expectations – it was all absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Everyone commented on how tasty it was and it was lovely to look round the table and see clear plates all round
I just wanted to say thank you for the lovely meal on Saturday, which was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Thank you too for being so helpful and accommodating and coming up with such a delicious menu which catered for the various dietary requirements of our guests! Ian was fantastic – please pass on our thanks to him as well. It was the perfect way to celebrate the 2 birthdays!
A huge and heart-felt thank you for the delicious Mexican feast that you cooked us on Saturday. It was some of the best Mexican food I have ever had, and in fact I think the beef dish and the guacamole actually were the best I have ever had! Your cooking has received so many compliments (on the night and by text and email afterwards), I don’t think there was a single person who didn’t comment on its freshness and deliciousness. In fact, a couple of people cheekily asked if they could come round and help us to eat any leftovers, although nearly everything was wolfed on the night itself.
