OUR FRIENDS

Sam and I just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything you did for our wedding. The food went down fantastically well and seemed to get devoured so I'm guessing everyone enjoyed it, I know we certainly did. The cake was beautiful and tasted amazing. It captured the essence of the day perfectly. Your staff were completely professional and a credit to you. So once again, thank you so much.

Sam & Samantha / Bride & Groom

From our first meeting, until our wedding day everything was made so easy by yourselves. You really understood what we wanted and did not fail to deliver. The food was amazing and the evening food just continued to amaze not only ourselves but also our guests. Everyone is still making comments (all positive) about the food, even after two weeks since the wedding. Your staff were approachable, professional, polite and accommodating. If anyone reading this needs further clarification, we HIGHLY recommend. If we were ever in need of a caterer again, I would go straight to The Flying Pig Kitchen. From the bottom of my heart thank you to you and all your staff.

Gemma Williams / Bride

Louis and I have got back from our honeymoon today and I just wanted to say what a fantastic job you did of the food at our wedding! All the guests commented on how tasty the food was, and the staff were all great, really friendly and helpful. I really appreciated Rob acting as MC at times and telling tables when to come up for their food etc, it was really delicious,
thank you very much!

Helen & Louis / Bride & Groom

You gave us lovely lovely food and were such nice people, can't thank you enough – our guests have made such enthusiastic comments...

Carol & Andrew / Party

Thank you very much for the brilliant service your team provided once again this year. I think we had an exceptional year this time due to the weather.
Please pass on our thanks to your team.

Bletchingley Parish Council / Village Fair

Just a quick 'THANK YOU' to you both and particularly the girls, for the incredible job that you did yesterday in the most daunting weather that I think we have ever had for a wedding at Dode. Your professionalism has always spoken for itself but everybody's good grace and humour took things to another level.
Respect and thanks .

Doug / Venue owner

Sally and Rob put us at our ease from our very first contact. They are friendly, consummate professionals and knew far more about weddings than we did! We went for a food tasting meeting and came away confident that they would deliver food that would be to everyone’s taste, and they did! The food tasted fantastic, the presentation was superb and their organisation on the day was seamless. We highly recommend The Flying Pig Kitchen.

Julia & Patrick / Bride & groom
