We have found that your facility is in a peaceful out of the way location, your team are very well mannered and respectful, they are only too happy to help, the communication with your team is of a high standard and attention to detail is very much appreciated. The systems you have in place for the current COVID season is comforting and we thank you for being so intent in complying with health obligations. The catering partnership you have in place is a credit to your organisation, the feedback I’ve received is very good. This is all delivered to a high standard at a very competitive price."
