Oh my goodness Elaine, we had literally the BEST day of our lives on Saturday and you and your fabulous team just made it even better! The food was absolutely incredible, everyone was raving about it. The whole thing was totally seamless and all from a shed behind a marquee in a little courtyard! We both want to say a HUGE thank you.

Elaine organised a two-day event for our children’s joint 21st and 18th birthday with over 100 guests. She arranged a block tie diner on one night and a western-style “Ho Down” on the other. It still ranks as one of the best parties we’ve been too. Thanks Elaine!

Edward |Dartmouth

I just wanted to say thank you to you and your team for the incredible food and service you provided over the weekend. The menu was beyond our expectation and some of the best food we’ve eaten in a long time and thanks for being so accommodating with my pregnancy dietary requirements!

Our dinner party was absolutely wonderful. Your team were delightful and made the whole experience so natural and lovely. The food was amazing and it was fabulous not to have to clear up afterwards. Many thanks for all your thoughtfulness.

We used Elaine and Entertaining Food for a charity fundraising party last week. Her food was fantastic, delicious and tasty, beautifully and promptly served. Elaine and her team were a pleasure to work with, professional and full of useful advice as well as being super easy, accommodating and friendly.
