Thanks so much for all your generous assistance with the dinner and going “above and beyond” to help me on the night!
The food and service on the night was excellent and the feedback was all positive from the Managing Director and Board members – the ultimate benchmark – as well as other guests. So a warm thank you for a great evening.

Corporate Dinner – August 2018
Just to let you know that I have had some lovely comments this morning about our event last night at the Gallery. Especially the quality and quantity of the food and the fact that no one complained about being hungry. Thank you for helping us with our Welcome Function 2018.

Just wanted to send you both a little message to say thank you so much for all your incredible efforts leading up to the wedding and on the day. We couldn’t have asked for anything better and felt that NPG and Broadbean Catering were absolutely awesome! Also, the cheese tower looked outstanding! Thank you for doing!
