TESTIMONIALS
" Your canapes on Friday were absolutely delicious, perfectly bite size & plentiful. Everyone remarked how good they were! I am immensely grateful as I could relax in the knowledge that the seemingly constant stream of gorgeous canapes would continue to flow. Your staff were superb and floated discreetly amongst my friends delivering their goodies. "
R. Paine, Fernhurst
"Dear Emma,
I just wanted to say how fantastic the tea you did for us yesterday was. I couldn't fault it. The Gluten Free goats cheese and caramelised chutney was the best sandwich I've ever had. (Thirty years a diagnosed coeliac).
You deserve to be the most sought after caterer in Surrey and Sussex. My mum thought it was all perfect too, so thank you for making our tea so special while we remembered our very special Dad.
With all best wishes, Claire

" From first getting in touch with Emma to discuss our wedding, the entire process has been utterly seamless and extremely helpful. Emma’s experience at what she does is clear to see. Her staff deliver a high level of service; they work unnoticed yet are always on hand should you need anything. I cannot recommend Set the Date Catering highly enough and will definitely be using them again in the future."
