Thank you for providing such a delicious finger buffet for my father’s wake at Herstmonceux Castle on 24 January. We were so delighted with everything from start to finish.
Not only was the food delicious, it was displayed so beautifully, and it was quite obvious you all take a pride in what you do. So many guests commented to me how pretty it all looked and how yummy it was too!
Not only was your food delicious, so are your communication skills! From the first phone call with Helen, right up until the very last moment, you kept me informed and up-to-date on what was happening. I had no doubt `I was in safe hands.
Finally, and very importantly, I would like to congratulate and compliment on your excellent staff. They were all very professional, efficient and, above all, charming. Again, I had many people comment in this vein.
Special mention to Lander for remembering people’s allergies (right down to quinoa!) and filling up the boxes with what he had noticed were their favourites.
I took a bit of a gamble when I picked you out after Googling but my goodness, it paid off! I will have no hesitation in recommending you or using you again should the occasion arise in the future.

“Organising a funeral is a difficult task but from my first contact with Sussex Chef I felt reassured that they understood what I wanted and had it all in hand. Nothing was too much trouble.
On the day their service was calm, efficient and unobtrusive, even when we arrived 20 minutes early, they were ready to swing into action straight away. The food served was delicious and plentiful - we received many compliments on the food.
As guests were leaving lovely boxes had been provided for people to fill with the remaining goodies to enjoy at home. Thank you for your contribution to my father’s funeral will not be forgotten and I will certainly recommend you to friends and family.”

"Just a quick note to thank you for the excellent food and service we received today everyone was very impressed and we are so grateful to you for helping make a difficult day for us go smoothly
Once again please pass on our thanks, sadly we live in Bedfordshire so are unlikely to be able to use your services ourselves but we did tell all how pleased we were.”
