Testimonials & Accreditation's - Emma J's Party Food Caterer

Dear Emma,
Thank you to you and your lovely staff for making our mother’s funeral wake so special. Absolutely everyone complimented your buffet saying it was so tasty and delicious. Walking into the Club and being welcomed with a beautiful spread before us was very heartwarming on a cold and difficult day. Every item on your menu is refreshingly delicious: my favourite is the wild mushroom vol au vents, for others the sandwiches were best and all agreed the mini cakes selection was a triumph being intensely perfect ! The contents of the four trays I took home have all but mysteriously disappeared - I certainly caught up the later enjoying the buffet that I didn’t have time to eat at the Club.

I am glad you catered for up to 60. Although there were 50 to 60 in the church many were unable to follow on to the Motor Boat Club as they had to work and others who said they would definitely attend, did not. It is difficult to judge numbers on the occasion of a funeral. I think your selection of the ‘Funeral Buffet’ is excellent and the effort put into its making shines through in the delicious and fresh tastes.

Thank you to you and your staff from my family and I.

Best wishes,

Hi there Emma,

Huge thanks from all of us for yesterday's afternoon tea. It was all lovely, and very much appreciated.

The guests loved... and scoffed....everything with relish, commenting on how pretty it all looked. A particular favourite were the beef and Yorkshire, and wild mushroom, little canapes.

We the hosts are lucky enough to be left with a couple of the super cakes; they impressed even our French friends here!

I think another success was that on a very hot day we had light, delicate food.....plus of course , you and your crew had done the clever work.

Many thanks again.

Good luck in this insane heat,

Pam Connellan.

Dear Emma,

I just wanted to say how absolutely delicious the food was on Sunday. I just love those Moroccan flavours and there was such variety with all the dips and salads too. You had packaged it up so thoughtfully and it was really easy to prepare. Everyone really enjoyed it and we had such a lovely party outside. And of course it was wonderful eating up leftovers (I cunningly kept a tub of ice cream back for my own indulgence!) I’ll look forward to being in touch again in the future.

All the best,

Dear Emma. Thank you for your contribution in making my mother's funeral a memorable event. Sorry not to met you but as you said, Michaela was more than up to the job. The young waiter was charming. They made a good team. It must be a challenge, at times, going into strange kitchens not quite knowing what you will find. Everyone loved the food, especially the hot sausage rolls and the fancy cakes. Well pleased . Thank you and your excellent staff. Wish you well in your business

Dear Emma, Thank you so much for today. I couldn't believe how smoothly it all went! You and the team did such a good job-the right mix of efficiency without being obtrusive. The food was delicious! - I loved the canapes -especially the parma ham and figs. Lamb was tender and jus stunning. The champagne jellies refreshingly palatable. Everyone commented on the quality of food and service and to top it all you left the kitchen spotless-thank you! I hope you have a well-earned rest this evening and I will be writing a review and recommending you to friends.

"Hi Emma, what a great night. Everything seemed to go to plan. Thank you so much for all your efforts. Your food was absolutely amazing and I have lost count of the number of compliments I have had about it - the scallops seemed particularly impressive!! If you ever need a reference or a testimonial do let me know as I would be more than happy to provide one. Hope to meet you again at some stage as would have no hesitation in employing you again or highly recommending you to other people."

Dear Emma. Thank you for the delicious tea and great service that you and your team provided on Sunday. Everyone who came remarked on the quality of the food and the lovely personal service, and as hosts we were so happy to be able to leave it to you, so we could be with our guests. And then at the end, you cleared it all away so beautifully, leaving us to laze around with those who stayed on (until well after dark in some cases!), and not to have to try to stop people from washing up, or end up doing it ourselves after the last had left. Thank you so, so much for such a great contribution to the success of our tea party. Very best wishes.

We are so grateful to Emma for catering our family gathering. It was a wonderful celebration over 2 days with exquisite food so perfectly presented by Emma, and her team. The compliments are still coming in from our guests about what an amazing ‘spread’ it was. The menu suited the gathering so well, from the canapés to the desserts, and the great wine suggestions that complimented it all. The salmon en croute is still talked about it, as are two of the salads (fig and goats cheese, and Asian noodle salad- delicious!), that Emma prepared for our BBQ the next day. It was a pleasure working with Emma in deciding on a menu; her enthusiasm for her work is clearly seen in the quality of the end product. Well done Emma, you know how much we all appreciated it.

Dear Emma. A very belated message to thank you for your amazing work catering for my mum's party in Cambridge in early March.
Food was plentiful and very tasty and you and your assistant were brilliant at getting everything organised in the background while the celebration was under way. My daughter has been experimenting trying to recreate your herby salad and the potatoes dauphinoise are frequently and fondly remembered by all. Thank you for sourcing, cooking and serving us great food, you delivered just what we needed. Hope you are well and all is good in your life and your business! Wishing you all the best.

Edina Maguire - 2015

Hi Emma. I have been meaning to write to you for some time, to say thank you! I have had so many comments on how wonderful the food was and how good the presentation was. The style of offering the canapés throughout the afternoon was a real hit! Your team worked hard to offer a memorable afternoon. Thank you for your help leading up to the party and help to decide the theme, I was delighted. Best of luck with the business, and we look forward to another Emma J Party! Thanks very much.

Hi Emma. A massive thank you for the wonderful food and service you provided yesterday. It made it a very special day for us and it was a real treat being able to relax and enjoy our guests company for a change! Everyone was very complimentary and a few people mentioned how lovely you both were. The style of service was perfectly tailored to our needs and was attentive but not intrusive which was fantastic. So thanks again & we will definitely spread the word! All the best.

“Dear Emma, I need to send another huge thank you to you and your team for the fantastic food that you provided on Saturday night - it was superb! Following your suggestions we had high hopes that the event was going to be jolly and well received - but our hopes were truly surpassed! It was a great event!
I was really happy with our choice of canapés which were brilliantly executed. My favourites were the pork belly and the fish and chips - with the mini burger, fajitas and puddings close behind. As well as superb food your team were brilliant in keeping everyone served with both food and drinks with great enthusiasm. Please pass on my thanks again. We both had a fantastic time and the feedback the following day from both friends and family was equally wholehearted. We shall be recommending you heartily to all and sundry.”

“Dear Emma, I wanted to send a whopping great “Thank You” to you, and all your team, for the fantastic service you provided for our birthday celebration on August 10th. The food, as expected, was wonderful – everyone at the party were so impressed and really enjoyed it all – the salmon and the cheesecake (oh my god, the cheesecake!!) were real winners. The Spanish Tapas in the evening also went down a storm (the cheese was delicious!). Aside from the perfect execution on the day, I also really appreciated the time and care you took in helping me choose the menus and wine. Your suggestion of having waitresses really made the day. You made a potentially stressful situation so much easier. I also appreciated how well your team looked after me on the day – insisting on putting a plate of food aside for me (I was faffing about) before it all went! I hope we can do it again soon, in the meantime I will be recommending your website.”

Alex & Stuart Peake - 2013

"Dear Emma J, my husband and I would like to express our thanks and admiration for the fantastic meal you prepared for our anniversary party. Not only was the menu you recommended perfect for the occasion but the meal was beautifully prepared and presented. I've had many compliments on your divine dishes from our many guests since then and so far the Salmon en croute and delicious roast lamb and vegetables have been particular favourites, along with your imaginative salads; not forgetting the chocolate tarts and cheese cakes. Oh, and the magnificent ice bowl! Thanks too for your wine suggestions, all of which worked extremely well. I'll be in touch soon, kind regards."
