Dinner of the decade 17th December 2011

Tom’s kitchen were hired to provide catering of a menu and wines suitable for the title of dinner of the decade.

The menu and wines we provided are below along with the customers feedback.

Dear Tom,

The feedback from my guests has confirmed the “Dinner of the Decade” was not an understatement.

From first course to the seventh you and your team were perfection.

The food was fabulous , your wine selection was perfect.

The empties were scrutinsed this morning for names and vintages.

Notes were being made on the back of the menu cards you so kindly made.

I can normally find fault…..and I cannot. It was simply perfect. Thank You.

Fantastic job……but how can we top this one?
