I contacted Julie in July last year about catering my 40th party!
She was incredibly helpful in deciding what the best options were for my event, as well how to ensure we catered for the right number of people.
From start to finish, the communication and service has been spot on.
The food was delivered to my venue at the exact time arranged and was perfect.
The presentation was beautiful and the food incredible!
Everyone commented on what a nice spread it was and to say the amount of food was spot on would be an understatement, there was barely anything left and nothing went to waste.
Would definitely recommend and almost certainly use again.
Thank you Julie for such a great service.
Kelly Wallace.
Julie did an incredible spread for my dads celebration of life.
The food was fresh, homemade and there was so much of it!
Her communion was excellent, which was reassuring.
She had it all boxed up in cool bags, so I could transfer it easily to my location.

Dear Julie
On behalf of the members of Halstead Flower club, I am writing to thank you for providing our refreshments.
The retiring committee met this week and all present were delighted with your service. We had had several members praise the quality of the refreshments.
Thank you so much, as a committee it was a delight not to be doing our own catering on what for us was a sad occasion, closing a club that had run in Halstead for 68 years.
Once again thank you
Regards
Sue Heywood
Past secretary of Halstead Flower Club

Karan Watts-Lockley how
Kempz Kottage kitchen supplied a 40 person buffet for my dad's 90th birthday. We were pleasantly surprised by the amount of food and the quality was excellent. The ham hock quiche was by far the favourite people found room for an extra slice.
We would recommend them the price was reasonable the quality excellent and despite giving loads away there was still loads left we eat for lunch next day.
we will use them next celebration.
