Testimonials

"Dear Corinne. I know Harriet has emailed her appreciation of all you and your staff did to make our two Golden Wedding parties such a success, but I did want to add my own sincere thanks. Everything worked out so well - the food was just delicious. I think you and Harriet worked out a wonderful menu for the Saturday, and those beautiful little canapés on Friday evening were fantastic. Many congratulations to the chef. And all the girls who came to help were so sweet and so efficient, it cannot have been easy for them on the Saturday as they had to traipse in and out of the back door, down the step and round to the tent in really quiet miserable weather. We are so grateful to you all.

We have had masses of letters of thanks all mentioning the food and admiration for the lovely staff. I was so impressed by your attention to detail - even down to the loo paper and hand towels in the village hall!

Everything feels a bit flat now. Cannot imagine we shall have the energy to do the same thing for our diamond wedding - always assuming we are still around in ten years. But if we ever have a big party again I would certainly come back to Turnbulls. Thank you again for everything."

"Hi Corinne. I am mindful of the fact that I did not get an opportunity to personally thank you and your team for your help and assistance in making my birthday celebrations the success that they were. The meal was fantastic and the efforts of your whole team are very much appreciated by not only Clare and I but our guests also. It was a pleasure to witness the professionalism and ease that you demonstrated in taking control of the whole evening leaving us with the simple and very pleasurable task of enjoying a most fantastic night. Thank you and your team very much for the very considerable part that you played in creating memories that will stay with us all forever."
Mike

"Hello Corinne. Thank you so much for all your hard work. The food was wonderful and the service was top notch - what more can I say. You and your team made Mike's 50th party an extremely enjoyable experience and a night that none of us will ever forget - it's just such a shame that we can't do that every week!!!"
Clare

"Hi Corinne. Thank you so much for the supper you provided for myself and my friends last Friday. The meal was the perfect start to our "ladies weekend"; a weekend of relaxation, allowing us all to be looked after for a change - rather than the norm of us all catering for our families. The suggested menu was perfect as it was light and flavour-full, ideal for the spring (even if the weather didn't quite "play along"). Also, our "butler" for the evening was impressed as the three courses required the minimum of preparation for serving and your instructions with each course made life very easy for him. Once again, thank you for your part in our relaxed weekend in Shaftesbury."

"Dear Corinne. Everything was perfect on Saturday night - thank you very much indeed. The food was beautifully presented and was of very good quality, and everyone commented on how lovely it was. Service was discreet and friendly. So thank you very much for a wonderful evening!"
Katie & Luke

"Dear Corinne. Thank you so much for everything on Sunday - I think the party was a great success and everyone thought the food delicious and very well managed. We have been enjoying the leftovers and the chance to have a bit of peace and quiet now it's all over and everyone has gone home - Thanks again for making the day such a success and for such scrumptious food!"
Alex

"Dear Corinne. We were very happy with the dinner last Saturday. Everyone thought the food was great and the lemon tart went down particularly well! The service provided by Molly & Gemma was excellent and the kitchen was left spotless."
Ray

"Dear Corinne. As I mentioned, we were very pleased with the evening and how it all went. It certainly made everything very simple (for us, that is - perhaps the different requirements were not so easy for you and your team); Fiona and Kim provided an excellent and very attentive service and left the kitchen amazingly clean. We anticipate doing something similar next year but possibly in the summer, and will definitely be in touch with you again"
Robin

"Dear Corinne. I wanted to pass on my thanks for the catering for my birthday weekend. Everything ran very smoothly, Jo and Marnie set it all up beautifully and were unobtrusive in their serving and yet at the same time extremely attentive ensuring we had everything we needed at any time. Also please do pass on my thanks to the cooks. The food was great and everyone enjoyed all three courses and the various selections. The fish pie was also very warmly appreciated by all both on Friday night and again on Sunday! We all had such a wonderful time at Chaffeymoor Grange that I know a return visit will be on the cards and when we do I would be delighted to have Turnbulls Catering looking after us again. Many thanks for all your help in creating such a memorable weekend."
Liz

"Dear Corinne. The staff were brilliant and made our day very enjoyable. Everyone agreed that the food was excellent. Thanks again for an excellent service."
Ria and Terry

"Dear Corinne. As to feedback all I can say is that a large number of the guests have sincerely said it was the best wedding they had been to and that it part must be down to your catering. I must thank you and your staff for the excellent service they provided at both venues, many comments were passed about the attention to detail and how pleasant yet unobtrusive your staff were. I have had only glowing comments about your food and as you are probably aware there were a number of professional caterers amongst the guests."
Mike

"Dear Corinne. We really want to thank you and your team for making it such a special occasion - as I think you know we had a French friend here who was bowled over by the whole thing, not least the elegance of the food (I think that's about as high an accolade as is possible in French!)

By Sunday lunch time we had the chance to taste everything and can truly say it was all delicious. The sauce used for the chicken (and how very good to have good sized pieces instead of mini-bites!) was just a dream... We thought your 'girls' delightful - so smiling and happy to talk to guests when and where appropriate. I totally relaxed - which might be why the timing went a bit wonky - which is unheard of usually at any large event. This is surely because there was total professionalism at work. There have been just a trickle of calls so far in thanks, but thought you would like to see these:

Thank you very much for a most enjoyable party. The setting was perfect, as were the food and drink and company. I will try to do the same thing when I am seventy in two years and eleven day's time. (a cousin)

Thank you so very very much for such a perfect party - loved the food. (a neighbour)

So thank you once again."
Sara

"Dear Corinne. The whole weekend was totally magical and the Saturday night was simply faultless!!! The girls, food, service was all wonderful and I shall definitely be happy to recommend you. Many many thanks for such a special evening."
Abigail

"Dear Corinne. I just wanted to say a big thank you for a fantastic evening. It really was great fun and extremely well coordinated! The food was delicious (I ate every last morsel!) and the attention to detail was evident throughout - from the food being brought to our tables and the attentive waiters and waitresses... I walked away from the event feeling inspired and very happy to be living in Dorset!"
Abbie

"Dear Corinne. We had a fabulous night and we are still talking about the food now - it was amazing - I was so disappointed when I couldn't minesweep anyones pudding - all clean plates!!! Well done you for feeding that number - it was delicious!"
