Claire, Corporate canapes, Covent Garden, November 2011
There are SO many things we have to thank you both for! Firstly of course the amazing food and service. You totally got what we wanted from day one, and so many people from both sides of the family commented on how wonderful everything was. It was utterly delicious, looked gorgeous and the whole day ran perfectly!
I felt 100% confident that you would deliver on all levels, and you really, really did – for that I can never thank you enough as you enabled me to be a proper bride for the day and not worry about anything!!
It goes without saying that we will (and do) recommend you to everyone we meet – I wish I could use you at EVERY wedding I plan!!
You are both superstars, and we can’t thank you enough for making our wedding day truly perfect.

Candy and Neville, Wedding, Gate Street, October 2011
Just a note to extend our sincere thanks for your involvement in Lisa and Jens’ Special day. The food was excellent and we have very man comments from our guests, not only about the food but also about your exceptional serving team and floor manager. We will not hesitate to recommend Kalm Kitchen in the future.

John and Laura, Marquee Wedding, October 2011
Laura and I wanted to write to you to say a big thank you to the team at Kalm Kitchen. When we came to do the tasting at your office in August I remember being absolutely blown away by the both the quality and presentation of the food, and for you to be able to surpass that on our wedding day for 130 guests is really impressive. In so many of our thank you notes people have remarked on how exceptional the food was and also how professional your staff were. I really think that the level of service that your team delivered on the day was equivalent to what you'd expect at a Michelin starred restaurant. Please thank all the team for their fantastic efforts on the day and we will definitely be using you again for any functions that we have in the future.

Amy, Wedding, Gate Street Barn, October 2011
I just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work and the delicious food on our wedding in October. Everyone said how lovely it all was and really enjoyed the food so thanks! It was all delicious! Your staff also made the tables look lovely and were all very professional and friendly. I was particularly impressed with the synchronised plate placing! It all went very smoothly and we didn’t have to worry about a thing.
So thank you again (as well as thank you for the last minute beer buying!).

Mr and Mrs Middleton, Wedding, The Walled Garden, October 2011
hello you wonderful lovely perfectly glorious lot.
Oh my goodness.
I'm so sorry that it's taken us this long to email you.
We literally posted our first thank you cards two days ago.
You may have realised by the slightly flustered few days before our wedding that we're no organised duo.
however, we are the happiest duo alive.
I know we're completely and utterly biased, but how amazing was our wedding?
we both knew we were meant to have a good day and were so excited about getting married, but quite honestly, i don't think we were actually prepared for how much we, us two, would enjoy it.
Everything was utterly perfect.
And i think you lot might be largely to blame.
being given a drink as soon as we were wed in a room that looked utterly wonderful.
having the perfect little starters brought to us on a tray whilst we had our photos taken.
the most delicious meal we've eaten in a long long time. just what we had imagined. james, thank you so much for embracing our ideas and making them better. jen, i remember sitting down as the food began to arrive looking at how amazing everything looked and spotting your gorgeous frenchtea towels on the bread trays and thinking, no one else will notice those but they make my eyes so so happy.
and the cakes. wow. the cakes. just perfect. more photographed than us two i think.
your staff were delightful.
You did far more than i think you signed up for. jen, thank you so much for dealing with the slightly chaotic stream of things from my dad and brother in the morning. poor them, poor you. but everything found it's place and looked just lovely.
There are 100 other things that i'm sure we'll wish we mentioned, but please accept our most sincere thanks for being such a pleasure to work with and such a very important part of making our perfect day, well, perfect.

Diana, Private Wedding, Gate Street Barn, October 2011
Willliam is writing a proper letter but I just wanted to send you an email quickly. Thank you so much for everything you did to make Saturday such a wonderful day. The meal was absolutely delicious, the tables looked gorgeous and the staff were, without exception, all so pleasant, helpful and efficient. Even the poor exhausted chap who, single-handed, carried all the plates etc up and down our very long garden path was cheerful. (Thank goodness it wasn't raining!) People kept asking about the catering company so of course we could not recommend you more highly. We are so glad we chose Kalm Kitchen.

Penny & Bob, Private Wedding Lunch, October 2011
Where do I begin – you delivered everything so perfectly as usual in your wonderful calm and ordered way – all our friends were more than impressed and your gorgeous girls were very much complimented, especially your “maitre d’” who missed absolutely nothing! Please give them another special thank you from us. From reception drinks at the entrance to the marquee to pretty plates of cake and petit fours and absolutely everything in between it was faultless.
James the food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented and so tasty and tender from the freshness of the bread to the fabulous cheese slate – it was just wonderful. Thank you both so very, very much.

Caroline, Wedding, Gate Street Barn, October 2011
I am sorry that it has taken me so long (although I know my dad did phone you) to thank you very much for the hard work you and your team put into our wedding day. I have had many comments about how good the food was and especially the service. here is one of my friends comments The food was delicious & everyone was commenting on how good the waiting staff were; very attentive but very discrete at the same time & so organised.
The only thing is I didn't get to eat much as I just wasn't hungry but I have been informed the bacon butties were amazing. so if you ever need anyone to come along to an event and talk first hand to potential customers let me know!

Jo and Matt, Wedding, Chiddingstone Castle, October 2011

Carol, 50th Birthday Party, Chiddingstone Castle, October 2011
Forgive the reply by email but I just wanted to thank you and your team for the outstanding job on Saturday evening on the occasion of my 50th Birthday Celebrations at Chiddingstone Castle. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff were charming and most attentive, not to mention flexible when the order of play changed due to guests’ late arrival due to travel disruption flying in from Jersey. I have received plenty of lovely comments from my guests. For me everything combined to make the event a really memorable one.
Thank you so much.

Frances and Stephen, 21st Birthday Dinner, Private Home, September 2011
Just to say thank you so much from us all for making Flo's 21st evening just perfect. It was a dreamy evening, great relaxed atmosphere and the delicious KK supper couldn't have been nicer.
Your lovely girls were so charming and made everything run smoothly- it was heaven not having to worry about anything.

Susanne and Paul, Wedding, Burrows Lea, September 2011
We wanted to say thank you very much for everything you did for all our wedding at Burrows Lea on the 30th July. We had a fantastic day and everything went so smoothly thanks to all the hard work behind the scenes.
We think one of our guests summed up the food when he said, "usually after a wedding people sat the food was good out of courtesy, but this time it really was very good, exceptionally so".
This was echoed by lots of our guests who loved your food. The children’s boxes were also a real hit, kids and parents alike loved them!
The service at the wedding breakfast was immaculate and very professional, and all in all the staff very helpful at all times. The overall result was of such a high standard that we really felt we could not have chosen better caters to make our day so special. We already recommend you to other people.

Victoria and Michael, Wedding, Gate Street Barn, September 2011
A month has now passed since our wedding yet we are still receiving great comments. The food being described as the best wedding food ever tasted. For Victoria and I, the food was an important part of the day and you did not fail to meet our expectations. Not only the food but the service, attention to detail and professionalism was a breath of fresh air compared to the mediocrity quite often encountered in the wedding industry. Thank you so much for helping our day to be so perfect.

Mandy & Martin Newnum, Wedding, Bignor Park, September 2011
I would like to take the opportunity to thank you very much for your role in what turned out to be a lovely day. James, the kitchen staff and the food were great – everyone was particularly impressed by the canapes.
Finally, the servers. The service was marvellous, the girls were so efficient, professional, friendly – and attractive!
Our every good wish for Kalm Kitchen's continuing success.

Gav and Babs, Wedding, Chiddingstone Castle, September 2011
We would like to say a huge thank you for helping us create our dream wedding. When we first met you all we knew straight away that we would be in safe hands, and you would be able to create the perfect wedding breakfast for us. We are both “foodies” so the menu choices we’re important to us, and we amazed at the choices on offer, the fantastic presentation, and professional standards of you waiting staff. All of our guests, in fact, commented on how proficient the waiting/bar staff were. We would have no hesitation in recommending the Kalm experience to others. Again a huge thank you and please pass on a special thank you to Laura for her coordination on the day.

Lorraine and Rob, Wedding, Gate Street Barn, September 2011
As we are waiting to board our flight, I thought it was a good opportunity to drop you a line to say a big thank you for the beautiful food served on friday. We had many compliments from our guests with some saying the best wedding breakfast meal they had sampled!. It was simply lovely. Many thanks and a big thank you Jen for all the advice along the way.

Holly, 21st Birthday, London, September 2011
I just wanted to say a massive thank you to all of your team. They were absolutely fantastic and everyone I have spoken to has told me how excellent they thought the food was. They were so well organised and the staff taking round the canapes etc were so efficient. I really can't thank you enough and we will definitely be looking to hire you again.

Sally, 21st Birthday, Puttenham, September 2011
I just wanted to say a huge thankyou to you and all your staff for helping to produce such a fabulous party on Friday. We were thoroughly impressed with your team. Everyone commented on the food and it was definitely amongst the best I have ever had at a party. It was served efficiently and professionally and the waiting staff were very attentive, as well as looking the part. The bar staff looked after
everyone very well. Thankyou again for all your calm support during the planning process
and at the party itself.

Will and Vicky, Wedding, Micklefield Hall, August 2011
James and Jen, you did an absolutely fantastic job at our wedding. Everyone loved the food – it has certainly been one of the focal points of the thank you letters including quite a number of “best food ever at a wedding”!! The staff were fantastic; friendly yet very professional – Vicky and I loved the touch of one of the girls bringing us canapés while we were in the rose garden having our photos taken.

Sam and Richard Kennedy, Wedding, The Walled Garden, August 2011
Jen - We just wanted to say thank you so much for making our wedding dream come true. As soon as we met you, we knew that you, James and your wonderful team would create something special for us. The food was important to us and you reflected this in the amazing quality of food, the stunning presentation and the exemplary standards of your staff. The service was amazing - and it was a pleasure to see your team 'in action' throughout the day. We were all made to feel very special and so well looked after. James created a truly amazing meal for us - which all our guests were so complimentary about. Your organisation and attention to detail made the day run smoothly and everything we discussed was perfectly in place. We were so pleased with how you created the whole reception for us. 'Thank you' does not seem adequate - but Kalm Kitchen are an amzing team that we are thrilled to have chosen to create something very special for our special day.
Many thanks Jen, for everything. You and James are a fantastic team and we are sure that your company will grow from strength to strength. We are full of praise for you (and trying to work out another event to use you again!!!)

Ian and Lucia Willcox Wedding, Burrows Lea, August 2011
A very big thank to you both and all your staff for providing such an excellent "Wedding Breakfast" last Saturday for Joanna's big day at Burrows Lea. Both the meal and the service you provided on the day were outstanding, all of which, greatly contributed to a highly successful and enjoyable occasion. Everything went extremely well, resulting in a very happy Bride and Groom and plenty of pride from the parents!

Adrian and Julie, Wedding, Walled Garden, August 2011
A very big thank you for the wonderful wedding breakfast you organised for Sam and Richards wedding at the Walled Garden on Sunday 7th. The food was simply delicious. The room looked amazing.

Parents of Bride, Wedding, The Walled Garden, August 2011
Sue and I just wanted to thank you for the excellent manner in which you and your team managed last Saturday.
Everything went so well from our point of view and the catering was truly wonderful. I know that is what you do routinely and you would not have expected it to be any different. However, the thing that struck us most was the attention to detail and the manner in which your team went about their work. Little things such as coming out to the ruins when the photographs were being taken to offer refreshments.were the moments when we realised that you are on top of what you do. Thanks so much.

Peter, Wedding, Gate Street Barn, July 2011
Jennie and I would like to congratulate you on the quality and smooth organisation of the catering at Jo and Matts wedding on the 16th July. They had a truly wonderful day. We have received nothing but compliments from our guests on how delicious they thought the meal was and its attractive presentation. We knew it was going to be excellent and we were not disappointed. We would like to congratulate you on the high standard and organisation of your serving staff. The meal was served beautifully and the wine waiters and the evening bar staff dispensed the drinks very politely and efficiently. It has been a pleasure to work with you in the run up to the wedding and we appreciated all the support that you gave us throughout its planning. Jo was delighted with the shortbread hearts served with coffee. They were much enjoy3ed and appreciated.

Jo and Nat, Wedding, Gate Street Barn, July 2011
From first meeting Jen we knew Kalm Kitchen were the company for us, her laid back approach and professionalism is second to none and put us at ease in something that could have been very stressful. James came to our house to allow us to taste the food while looking after our new born son which we feel goes above and beyond any service we have experienced before or after our wedding. By the time the day arrived it felt as though we had friends looking after us rather than a company. On the day all the food was delicious and brought to the table looking elegant and appetising. The staff even looked after our baby when he needed a sleep. We are still getting comments on how good the food was almost a year on!!! We would have no hesitation in recommending Kalm kitchen to anybody that requires food for an event. If we could we would have them cook all our meals!!

Catherine and Nick, Wedding, Chiddingstone Castle, July 2011
I was going to email you today to say thank you so much for such amazing food and service on our wedding day. We, and our guests, were so impressed with the quality of the food, the standard of the service and the friendliness of your staff. We have had so many people comment that it was the best wedding breakfast they have ever had! We were so grateful for your co-ordination, your attention to detail, the way you liaised with the best man and ensure our day ran smoothly. It simply wouldn't have happened without you and we were so pleased we chose Kalm Kitchen. Thank you so much!

Jane and Ben, Wedding, Gate Street Barn, July 2011
Just a quick note to thank you both, and all your staff, for the wonderful day you helped to create for us.
Our guests were all completely ecstatic about the look, smell, and taste of all the food on the day.
We were both also exceptionally impressed, with how well the "carvery" worked out; James, the slabs of beef were superbly cooked, wonderfully presented, and all importantly tasted magnificent!
|
|
Mr & Mrs Marnan, Wedding, Gate Street Barn, July 2011
We didn't get a chance to catch you on Friday evening, so a massive THANK YOU to you both and your team of ninjas for making the day so incredibly special. Already we've had several comments of 'best food at a wedding ever' and I think we'll hear many more! You're both amazing.

Barbra, Wedding, June 2011
Just a little note to say how brilliant you and your team were on Saturday. Everyone thought the food was utterly delicious and your staff totally professional and charming – as we knew they would be. We loved the cheese cake you masterminded and the cheese table looked wonderful. Nothing could have been better and it was a wonderful feeling knowing that we need to have no concerns.
You and your staff were an absolute please to work with and we thank you for a wonderful day.

Victoria and Alex, Wedding, Chiddingstone Castle, June 2011
Alex and I are now back from our honeymoon and wanted to say a huge thank you to all at Kalm Kitchen.
The day ran so smoothly and I know you played a large role with that. We couldn't have asked for anything better from Kalm from the start to finish, all the staff were so polite and very efficient, it was a very professional service provided. The tables were laid perfectly and the attention to detail was certainly noticed! The food was perfect - so many of our guests have commented on the food with nothing but praise. I know the beef canapes went down a treat with Alex's friends!
Please pass on our thanks to all the staff who were involved on the day - they were all amazing!
A special thanks to the both of you, for helping organising the day to the cooking of the food - I will certainly be recommending you to many people!

Private Lunch, June 2011
Firstly I want to tell you how impressed we were with your team of charming staff yesterday. They were all fantastic particularly Laura and Sophie who made it all work like clock work. The food was delicious, melt in the mouth beef and the tuna and chicken were great too. We will definitely recommend you to our friends and we will use you again.

Emma and John, Wedding, Chiddingstone Castle, June 2011
We truly had a fabulous day - it was both exactly what we had dreamed about (in spite of the rain!). You and your team were absolutely fantastic and we cannot thank you enough. The food was fabulous and the service discreet, friendly but absolutely efficient. The day would not have gone so well without your support and I shall be passing on your details to everyone!

Jenny, Wedding, Gate Street Barn, May 2011
I'm just e-mailing to thank you for the excellent job you and your team provided at my recent wedding. The food was all lovely and the service was faultless. Everybody had a brilliant day.

Emily and Richard, Wedding, Chiddingstone Castle, May 2011
We have just got back from honeymoon and wanted to write to say thank you for being so fantastic on our wedding day.
I walked past the Great Hall as I arrived at the Castle (late!) and caught a glimpse of the tables - and promptly burst into tears. I couldn't believe how our sitting room of cardboard boxes filled with random jugs and pots and menus and books and pictures of hens could have been transformed so magically into that stunning room. It was beyond anything I had ever imagined and I couldn't believe it was all actually for our wedding day.
After the ceremony your waiting staff were absolutely fantastic, making everyone feel so special from the football team lads to my elderly grandfather - I will never forget that moment, standing in the sun watching the children run across the lawn, sipping Earl Grey from a china cup and feeling just so happy.
Our wedding breakfast was outstanding. All around us were little gasps as our guests read the menus and three weeks on people are still writing to us to comment on it all. Asta LOVED her childrens box, what a fantastic idea, as did the other little ones.
The evening food, too, was delicious. Thank you for chopping up all that cheese! We had lots left and it's taken up our freezer. The cake looked beautiful, we loved it.
I suppose most of all we want to thank you for just being so supportive and making us feel like you really cared. Jen, the day would have been nowhere near the perfect one we had without you. The cheese on slates with the port, the mini summer puds, the gorgeous evening bowl food and all your advice about the table decorations, I could go on and on.
We also loved that you were so proactive in delivering everything, particularly that everyone got a cocktail on arrival which was a really good idea. Everyone loved the bar and the mixologists were brilliant. Thank you James for putting us in touch with them, they really helped us to get the quantities just right and it worked out perfectly.
I know people do tend to say the 'right' things at weddings but I really think people meant it when they lovingly said we had "raised the bar" for future weddings and that they felt so very honoured to have been invited to something so special. One guest wrote in a thank you card that it was "intimate, elegant and delightfully understated" which was exactly what we wanted. You did that for us.
|

Jane and Grant, Wedding, The Walled Garden, May 2011
We would like to say a really big thank you for all that you did to make our wedding day so perfect.
The food was fabulous-everything that we wished for. Many of our friends and family commented that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding.
However more than that-your help, advice and attention to detail was outstanding. You effortlessly coped with our over run speeches. We could not have been happier with everything that you did for us.
Thank you for managing to turn our vision of the day into reality! We had the perfect day and realise that much of this was due to your fabulous food, presentation and hard work.

Carol and Richard, Christening, May 2011
Thank you so much for everything you did to make Iris’ christening so special. We knew we could rely on a bit of Kalm Kitchen magic to make the day so brilliant for everyone and yet so stress free for Richard and me!! The food, waiters and the garden decorations were all perfect, thank you so much.

Mark and Christie, Wedding, April 2011
We cannot thank you enough for what you did to make our wedding so special. We could fill pages on how good you were!
After just one meeting we knew we really want you to be our caterers – such a professional yet relaxed approach that stood out from others we talked to – and then we tasted James’ amazing cooking.
We loved the fact that you are so flexible in your offering - you listened to what we wanted for our day and for our food, then created options that built on this and talked openly with us about what we liked to make it 1000 times better than we could have envisaged. So much nicer than a set list of options! Nothing was ever too much trouble and the answer seemed always to be “Yes”. Your advice always focused on what would be best for us (even if it meant less business for you!).
And then the day – wow!! As you know we had put a lot of planning into a long and varied day but we never had to even think about one thing thanks to your amazing efforts.
Your staff were attentive and so professional and an absolute credit to you. It was the little touches that stood out – how they dealt with the children, getting drinks for us before the guests arrived, spotting the people sitting quietly in the shade and making sure they were OK and offering a drink. We had so many comments from everyone specifically on your staff as well as the stunning food! From early in the morning to the late evening your service was absolutely flawless – especially making the quick changeovers and setting up the barn just how we envisaged it.
The food was amazing throughout – the starters and desserts were not just gorgeous but presented beautifully. Thank you so much for making the ‘carve it on the table’ experience we wanted for the delicious lamb so much fun – although am not sure our guests as the carvers quite lived up to James’ food presentation levels! The food boxes for the kids were fantastic and beautifully put together – your attention to detail is something. And then the hog roast in the evening was sublime! We have had nothing but a stream of great comments from all (including for the various kosher / vegetarian options!)
Can we wish you all the very best for the future – you are a very talented couple and we will always look back fondly at the contribution you made to our day. With so many comments on the quality of food and service being head and shoulders over what people have had at weddings (including their own) you know you have found some special caterers – not that we needed telling! I wish we could do more than simply say thanks as it seems so in adequate as you made such a special difference to our day – we will just have to engineer lots of occasions where we can use you!

Paul and Jan Burrows, Wedding, March 2011
We would like to say a very big thank you for all the effort you and your team put in at the wedding of Kate and Richard last Saturday. The quality of the food was excellent and the presentation superb. Nothing but complimentary comments came our way about everything concerning the catering. In the evening everybody had such a surprise when the fish and chip cones and bacon butties arrived and those, coupled with the cheese, started off the compliments again.
Thank you so much for what you did for Kate and Richard, and a message from the mother of the bride, Jan, " you said we should worry about nothing at all and that you would take care of everything and it would all run smoothly". You were so true to your word and all your staff bought into that and were an integral part of the day without ever being intrusive. Please pass our thanks on to them.
Once again, many thanks for all your efforts. You made a super day even better. |

Just a little note to say a massive thank you to you both for helping make our big day so special.
It has been an absolute pleasure meeting you both and it meant so much to us that you both cared about our day. So much so that the snow wasn’t a obstacle.
The day itself was absolutely perfect and you and your staff helped make it that way. The food was stunning and you and your staff attentive.
You are very gifted and a lovely, lovely couple and we hope we have reason to cross paths again in the future.

Catherine, 21st Birthday Party, December 2010
Sorry this is late but I did want to say how absolutely thrilled we were with the delicious food and seamless service at Rosie's party.
It was so incredible that you got up here at all and the effort that everyone went to in such mad and difficult circumstances was also quite touching and very professional.
As always, the food tasted delicious and looked superb.
I hope you didn't have to overcome too many traumas. If there were any, we certainly did not know about them. To us, the party flowed seamlessly throughout and the timings perfect.
You all looked lovely! A little apron for Molly will follow after Xmas.
Many, many thanks and I am looking for an excuse to see you next year. I shall have to persuade all my friends to have parties with you involved.

Lucy, Corporate Canapé Party, December 2010

Thank you again, you made our wedding day!

Debbie, Canapés and Dessert, November 2010
Just to say thank you so much for the absolutely gorgeous food on Friday night. Everyone just mmed and arred over the canapés, I really don't know which one I liked best, because they were all so delicious. The puds were great too really scrummy!
|

Nick and Hayley, Wedding, November 2010
I didn't thank you personally for everything you and James did for us. It was the most amazing day and everything, literally everything, Kalm Kitchen did, was awesome! Everyone has been saying that it was the best wedding food they had ever had. And there were quite a few Wedding Crashers with a wealth of wedding food experience at ours. So that can't be bad.
Your staff are a credit to you also, extremely efficient and helpful. You were all a big part of the day and you really helped make it amazing!

Jackie, Wedding, October 2010
Sorry for the delay in speaking with you, James and I are just back from a fabulous honeymoon in Mauritius and are busy catching up at work and readjusting to normal life!
I wanted to say thank you for everything you both did to make our wedding so special – the food was absolutely amazing ! We really enjoyed having that extra special touch on the day, and our guests gave us so many compliments! The food was just as fantastic as the day we had our tasting, and your team was so attentive and helpful. The tables were laid out beautifully, and we really liked the presentation of the plates. Thanks for packing us some leftover cheese – I didn’t get to enjoy it on the evening, but it was very yummy the next day!
Thanks for all your hard work during the day, and all the guidance and advice beforehand. It was such a pleasure working with you both, and we couldn’t have been happier with the results.
Thanks again and take care.

Mike and Sue, Wedding, October 2010
What a wonderful day! We couldn’t have hoped for anything more perfect- and we don’t just mean the weather! Thank you to you both for your enormous contribution to Rachel and Will’s wedding day. The day seemed to just flow effortlessly! The food and presentation was just perfect. So many guests have paid compliment to the exceptionally high standard of the whole day and of your team. We wanted to say a personal thank you for all your hard work and for that very fine attention to detail that made the day so special. Your team were a credit to Kalm Kitchen.

Anne, Wedding, October 2010
I am “mother-of-the-groom” for the wedding you catered for (Gibson/Gilbey) last Friday 8th October at The Walled Garden. I just wanted to say that it was utterly superb, and several people commented that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. Also, the waitresses were immaculate and so coordinated in the way they brought the food out to the tables. And we loved the way that when they had finished serving the canapés they came out with their empty trays and stood like statues among the lavender beds… (see right) like something out of a 70s art film…
Many, many thanks for being an integral part of a wonderful day – it could not have been better.

Zoe and Nathan, Wedding, September 2010
Thank you so much for everything you did in helping me prepare for our wedding on September 4th at Chiddingstone Castle and an even bigger thank you for all your hard work on the day. Nathan and I really appreciate everything.
We had a choice of four catering companies but your sample menu stood out by miles and we couldn't wait for the tasting! We still talk about the tasting and that Oreo cheesecake now, I think it was our favourite part of planning the wedding!
I never had any doubt that the food and service on the day would be fantastic. And it was! I was worried that I'd be too nervous to eat but I polished off everything on my plate because it was so good! Everything was perfect and the food really was outstanding, every guest I spoke to commented on how good it was and how professional and attentive the waiting staff were. We were looked after very well, we were always asked if we needed anything and when we arrived at the castle we were greeted with bubbly...what a great start to the evening!
We wouldn't hesitate in recommending you. Whenever I had questions they were answered and my last minute panics were dealt with professionally and quickly.
Honestly, we can't thank you enough!

Brian, Birthday lunch, September 2010
Thank you, James and all your staff for providing a tasty and enjoyable lunch on Sunday. My family and friends were very complimentary about the meal and particularly the quiet efficiency of the young ladies and men who served us; also their friendliness. I will have no hesitation in giving your name to friends who ask for a caterer. |

Rachael and Sanj, Wedding, August 2010
We wanted to get in touch anyway just to say a formal thank you, to you, James and your whole team, for making our day so special. Honestly, we could not fault the service you provided, either in the run up to the day, or the day itself. Everything ran so smoothly, and the way you worked with our ‘team’, and the guys at Chiddingstone meant that the whole day flowed seamlessly, and that we were able to enjoy spending precious time with our guests.
The food, as predicted, was exquisite, and every thanks must go to James for delivering a truly memorable meal… a few of our guests are particularly hard to please when it comes to food, and even they were blown away! We’re still getting comments now about how delicious everything was, particularly the cheesecake which was, in our opinion, the best ever!
We can honestly say that our wedding was the best day of our lives, and the special, personal touch Kalm Kitchen added to the proceedings contributed to this in no small way. Thank you. |

Penny and Colin (Mother and Father of Bride), Wedding, August 2010
This is just to say how impressed we were with the way you organised and provided the catering for Anna and Ryan's wedding on Friday. Both we and Anna and Ryan were absolutely thrilled with the whole event. Anna has just rung me from the taxi on her way to the airport and asked me to let you know that she will be in touch to thank you personally when they get back from Thailand.
Everyone we have spoken to both on Friday and since has been so complimentary about the catering and the high professional standards of all the staff. Very very many thanks and we shall certainly be passing your names on to anyone who wants to know of a good catering company. |

Urzula, Wedding, August 2010

Anna and Ryan, Wedding, August 2010
Thank you so much for all your hard work on the lead up to the 27th August. Working with you was the best decision we made.
We were so happy with all the incredible food you delivered, it was of such a high standard and beautifully presented. It was everything we had hoped it would be, and more! Our guests were so impressed.
Your staff were professional and courteous and we really appreciate the work that went in to making the tables look so stunning for us, thank you for going above and beyond!
You have been a joy to work with, and so calming, thank you for all your help and advice leading up to the day. |

Katie & Marco, Wedding, July 2010
I just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU for the expert way in which you and your team managed the catering at our wedding. The food was truly magnificent and we've heard nothing but praise ever since. In fact one of our guests said it was the best wedding meal they had ever had! The great food was complemented by the professionalism of you, James and your staff, and also the attention to detail such as the beautiful antipasti boards.
What's more, you did a perfect job of the table centrepieces-thank you!!
We hope you had a good time and the timings of speeches etc didn't make it too stressful for you and your team!
It was a pleasure to meet and work with both you and James, and will have no hesitation in passing on our recommendations.
Many thanks again |

Lou and Ross, Wedding, July 2010
A massive thank you for all you did for us on Sunday, and for helping our wedding day run smoothly! Everyone commented on not only the amazing food, but the professional attitude displayed by your waiting staff, the efficiency of the service all day and the extra touches- such as all the candles being lit and the sweetie bar set out so beautifully!
I hope we can work with you again!

Penny and Dom, Wedding, July 2010
As soon as we met Jen and her team we knew immediately that they would be perfect to do the catering for our wedding. They were so personable, flexible and all really lovely people from start to finish and it was simply a delight to work with them. Throughout the process, Jen was instrumental to the day and came up with brilliant ideas to match what we visualised for the food and James even came to our house to cook a range of food for us to sample. On the actual day the food was stunning and perfect and our guests have not stopped commenting on the quality of the food and how delicious it was. Many of our guests said they were the best canapés they had ever eaten! I would definitely recommend Kalm Kitchen and would not hesitate to use them again for any occasion

Thea, Private Marquee, July 2010
I was intending to write a proper letter to you but, in the meantime, I just wanted to say that the day didn't just live up to our expectations . . . . . it far exceeded them. The most wonderful letters are pouring in saying how absolutely magical and dreamlike it was and all of them go on to mention the catering. Here are just two excerpts: "The dinner was excellent - how they managed to keep the lamb pink for so many people was a great feat. They were very good caterers."
"Didn't your caterers do well; every plate was cleared at our table, it was a perfect menu and I will be asking you who they were as they are local and we may even be having a Christening party!"
"I have never had such good food at a wedding - ever!"
So there you are! In addition to the wonderful cooking, Jen, I thought all the staff who served it were fantastic - so helpful, polite, attentive and efficient. Please say a very big thank you from all of us. I really could not fault them.
If anybody asks you for a reference, please put them on to me!

Suzanne, Burrows Lea, June 2010
Kalm Kitchen catered for us on Saturday 12th June, the food was outstanding. 115 people raved about it .Beautifully served and hot. Their professionalism took the stress out of our event. I Have used a lot of local caterers they are a cut above the rest and I would definitely use them again. |

Emma, Wedding, May 2010
We are back from Mozambique after having the most amazing time and now going through 1,000's of photos reminiscing about our wedding day - it really was perfect in every way and much of this is down to you and James being so fantastic. So many our family and friends commented on our wonderful caterers and how the food was the best food they have had at a wedding. I distinctively remember sitting down to dinner after not having eaten much all day and being so happy to eat my delicious dinner. |

Elizabeth, Wedding, May 2010
We attended Helen and Adams wedding at Gate Street Barn on Sunday 30th May. It was a wonderful occasion.I am writing to congratulate you on the excellent food- the lemon tart was so good I stole my Husbands and I especially liked the chicken dish.
Your staff were exceptionally good, efficient, polite and very attentive.
This makes all the difference and I wanted you to know.
I have two daughters yet to be married so maybe one day I will be in touch again. |
|
Mr & Mrs Sparks, Burrows Lea, May 2010
Thanks again for all your help in making it such a special day for all of us, and the food of course which was fantastic!

Kate, Burrows Lea, May 2010
First thank you both so much!
Jason forgot to say – quite a few of our friends said it was the best wedding food they had ever had!!
And I have to agree with them.
We have a few friends getting married in the next few years so I look forward to recommending you.
Thank you so much again – you really helped make our day :O)

Helen and Adam, Wedding, May 2010
We are just emailing to say a huge thank you for the catering you did at our wedding on 30th May. The food was absolutely amazing and we had many comments from our guests saying how much they enjoyed it. The organisation was all fantastic as well, it all went so smoothly. Thank you for all your help in the run up to the wedding as well, you were both always so calm and helped us to manage our stress! We couldn't have done it without you and we couldn't have wished for a better day, it was absolutely perfect.

Nikki, Wedding, May 2010
This is rather an inadequate note to thank you for helping to make Janna’s wedding day so special and memorable.
The food, meal and canapés, was absolutely delicious, commented on by everyone, and so beautifully presented. I am just so sorry I didn’t get to thank you properly or say goodnight at the end of the evening.
We were hugely impressed with your team- friendly, efficient and very hard working, please pass our gratitude on to them all.
Janna was delighted with her day- you really did her proud.
Once again James, many, many thanks for all you did.

Janna and Charlie, Wedding, May 2010

I’m still on a bit of a cloud after Saturday- truly an amazing day and thank you so much for being a part of it.
Thank you Thank you! |

Beth, Private Party, May 2010
It was fabulous!! Kalm Kitchen did an amazing job. James excelled himself and will have no doubt created WOM. Charlie was a perfect addition. |

Nicole, Wedding, April 2010
Sunday was such a special and unforgettable day for us and you played such a major part on the day.
Jen, you were always so warm and accommodating to my many e mails that came your way. You even helped me plan some of my ideas and made them happen! You were so patient and really took the time to understand the "feeling" we wanted on the day and all made it work seamlessly.
We had so many compliments on you and your team- as you know we are big foodies and you both clearly share the passion!
Everything was just so perfect and we cannot thank you enough.
I wish you nothing but the best to you and your family and the business too! |
|
Mat, Wedding, April 2010
Thank you so much for the fantastic job that you did at our wedding. So many people remarked on how delicious the lunch and canapes were.
We had a wonderful, memorable day and you certainly made a big contribution in ensuring that it all went so smoothly.
Good food and drink is something that is really important to my family and you certainly didn't disappoint!
Kalm Kitchen is the perfect name for your company because from beginning to end you were calm and efficient.
Thank you again for everything. I am the first of my friends to get married and will certainly be recommending you to everyone! |
|
Neil and Sharon, Wedding, March 2010
Well what can we say...WOW WOW WOW...fantastic.
Your professionalism, quality and service was first class. All our clients commented on the presentation and taste. A particular favourite was the beef skewers and the monkfish which both were exceptional.
The Hot Bowls were a great choice for our evening and all guests said that they were a great idea, and a first for everyone.
The feedback we received was “upper class”!!!
You both, and your staff worked so hard to make our evening, and you all achieved it with outstanding feedback. You left an impact on our evening.
We would always recommend you, and we hope to meet and see you both again in the future.
Thank you so much and good luck. |

Chris, Party, March 2010
I really had a lovely day on Saturday. Having seen the wonderful way Kalm Kitchen worked at Simon & Reem's wedding in July, I knew that once we had met up to discuss the menu for my birthday lunch I could just relax & leave you to organise everything in your very calm & efficient way. There were numerous comments from guests on how delicious the canapés & the meal were- the food was indeed fantastic. The waiting staff were charming & this was much commented on too. Thank you so much for helping to make the lunch such a happy occasion. We are delighted to have Kalm Kitchen as our team caterer & look forward to more family occasions when we can call on you! |
|
Wennie, Big Birthday Bash, March 2010
Just a quick note to thank James and the staff for such a wonderful evening. The food was so so sooooo good. Everyone kept commenting on how delicious it was and they're asking me for your contact details. I think you might get a few calls for catering! The service staff was fantastic, my father-in-law is wondering how much we spent as it would have been very expensive to hire so many pretty models for the evening. Thanks again for all your effort, everything ran like clockwork on the night. |
|
Amanda, Funeral Reception, February 2010
Dear Jen, Thank you so much for the brilliant job James, Josie, Luke and the other staff did on Thursday! Everything ran so smoothly: the food was gorgeous, the staff so helpful (and yet unobtrusive), and the kitchen looked as if nothing had happened there by the end of the day!! It was just as we had hoped it would be - and more. Please pass on our thanks to all. We will definitely use you again and will also recommend you to other people. |
|
Carol, Funeral Reception, February 2010
Dear Everyone at Kalm Kitchen I want to add my thanks to those you've already had from Amanda and Peter for the seemingly effortless way in which you catered at my Mother's funeral reception at their home yesterday. The very fact that it was unobtrusive and appeared effortless to us guests illustrates how aptly your company is named - for you all seemed incredibly calm, regardless of how you may have been feeling! A very big thank you, and I would certainly recommend you to anyone looking for a caterer locally. |
|
Judy, Private Party, February 2010
Dear Jen I just want to say a big thank you for looking after us all yesterday. Everyone thought the food was outstanding and the service was second to none. I have already recommended you to others. Thank you so much. |
|
Anne, Private Marquee Party, February 2010
Dear James & Jen,
We were at Catherine’s birthday party last Saturday at Fort Road and I just wanted to say how fantastic I thought the food and your staff were. We thought you excelled yourselves – well done. The canapés were delicious – especially the parmesan baskets and the dinner itself was superb. The girls serving also are due a lot of credit – they were discreet but attentive.
Well done to all of you – especially given that you now have 2 little ones at home – I don’t know how you manage!
I shall certainly carry on recommending you to everyone I know.
|
|
Catherine, Private Marquee Party, February 2010
Dear Jen and James,
I just wanted to put into writing how thrilled and impressed I was with the food, organisation and service at my party. My guests were equally complimentary about the delicious meal and seamless service. No stress, no upset- ALL very organised and calm! You are a wonderful couple and certainly achieved just what you promised. It was a delight to work with you. Many, many thanks. |
|
Claire, Wedding, January 2010
I wanted to drop you a not to say "Thank You" to you, James and the team for everything you did for our wedding. Above everything else, the food is what we have had the most compliments on!!! Your team were so pleasant, professional and the food was delicious!! If the opportunity arises with my work I will be in touch to work with again. |
|
Clare and Dominic, Christening, January 2010
Dear James and Jen,
We've just got back and are already downloading photos from Edwards christening and while on email I wanted to say a HUGE thank you for the catering. Everything was absolutely superb; the food was delicious and your staff were amazing. The waitresses were so helpful and good natured and willing to help with anything that was asked.
So many people asked for your details as they were so impressed with the food - I will be passing it all on this week so you may get more calls!!!
Anyway, I can’t fault anything from today. It was fantastic.
Thank you for making it all go so smoothly. |

Thank you so so much and all the best in the future with both Kalm Kitchen and the arrival of your little one.
We hope we have an excuse in the future to make the most of your services!!! |

Hello Jen,
We can't begin to thank you enough for the most excellent food and service you offered during our wedding - many of our guests expressed how fantastic the food was and how efficient your staff were. I know it's the sort of thing that's often said at functions - but they really did mean it!! Your helpful advice leading up to the day was invaluable as well. So many thanks, and look forward to experiencing Kalm food again sometime in the future!
All the best, and thanks again. |
|
Mrs C, Wedding, August 2009
Thank you so much for all your hard work on Saturday. So many people said how fantastic the food was. We especially loved the main course - the lamb was delicious and we loved the parsnip mash. And the summer pudding was wonderful. Stephen also thought the stewardship of the waitresses was so well organised. They must be really well trained. |
|
Lucy, Marquee Wedding, July 2009
Dear Jen and James,
We both want to thank you for the wonderful food, immaculate presentation and brilliant service from Kalm Kitchen. The food was really special, which is just what we wanted, and your staff were consistently charming and so efficient. Jen, you made us both feel so calm and confident that we were able to totally relax and just enjoy the day, knowing that everything would be dealt with by you and the team. |

Janine and Shane (Tasting session July 2009 for Gate Street Barn wedding), July 2009
Hi Jen,
We loved the tasting session the food and presentation was
spectacular (Shane is still drooling over the cheesecake!)
and it was great to meet James, who made us feel very calm,
and we know we can put our trust in the excellent service
you offer. We would like to book Kalm Kitchen asap. |
|
Angel and Alastair, Wedding, July 2009
Words can never fully express our gratitude for Kalm Kitchen's incomparable service at our wedding reception on July 25th 2009. From the very first consultation, their expertise, knowledge, adaptability and unrivalled service produced an event that far exceeded anything we could have ever imagined. Our family and friends are still talking about the reception, the professional service and most of all the delicious and uniquely flavoured food. Kalm Kitchen went far beyond the call of duty and our own expectations, to make our special day the most memorable ever.
Kalm Kitchen are so much more than a ‘caterer’; of course the food was mouth-wateringly delicious, but their attention to detail provided unobtrusive and excellent service, and they also set the stage elegantly with beautiful lanterns, bunting, tea lights and unique elements such as the spectacular cheese 'wedding cake'. All of that and more is what made our wedding reception one to remember forever.
Many thanks for everything, |
|
Carola, Birthday Party, May 2009
We haven't yet got our photos sorted out yet but in the meantime thought you might like to have our comments on the day's occasion. My husband and I decided to hold a lunch to celebrate our 80th and 70th birthdays which fell within a few weeks of each other. From several caterers we chose Kalm Kitchen because it sounded a young and enthusiast business and we are delighted we chose so well. Jen was charm and efficiency personified and attended to all the detailed arrangements with understanding and patience. On the day the large and very efficient young staff were quite excellent as were those working hard in the kitchen led by Jen's husband James who produced highly acclaimed dishes. On departure, everything was left spotless. A sure sign of a first class caterer. We had a great day, thanks to Kalm Kitchen (and the weather) and have no compunction whatsoever to use them with enthusiasm on another occasion. |
|
Alex, Wedding, May 2009
Hi Jen, Here are a few words about our Kalm Kitchen experience! Our experience with using Kalm Kitchen at our wedding was faultless. From the start Jen knew exactly the look and feel that we wanted and made the great suggestion of using vintage china which really added the wow factor to the look of the meal. Throughout the planning Jen's perfectionism was clear and this gave us confidence that the day would end up being perfect too (she even remembered my sister's feelings on tablecloths!). The food itself was so delicious- the canapes especially provoked a lot of positive comments- and was bountiful throughout the day, being restocked promptly and served efficiently. It also looked amazing spread on the tables like a feast so that lots of our friends actually took photos of the food! Altogether, Jen and James are a great team who made planning the wedding stress free with their approachability and skill and delivered an amazing day.
We would definitely use Kalm Kitchen for any future events and heartily recommend them. |
|
Berni, Wedding, May 2009
Dear Jen, James and The Kalm Kitchen Team Thank you so much for being so lovely to work with. No question too detailed, no question too over the top. It really makes a difference working with people where nothing is too much trouble. On the day you were the essence of Kalm and your waitresses/ waiters were lovely- they were there when you needed them, but not at all intrusive during the speeches etc. the High Tea was amazing- I've had nothing but compliments on the intricacies of the cakes/ sandwiches/ quiches etc and they were all presented so beautifully. Thanks to you and your team, San San and Tom got the exact "feel" and ambiance that they were striving for. As her sister it was great to see her have it all come together as envisaged. I will be recommending you to whoever will listed! Thanks again so much |
|
Gordon, Private Party, May 2009
You and your team surpassed our expectations and it was a great pleasure to have worked with you personally. With Warmest good wishes |

Mrs B, Private Birthday Lunch, May 2009
Dear Jen and James, Thank you so much for helping make Saturday so special. The food was wonderful (in fact my parents in law thought better than ************ but don't tell them!!) and Micheal and Celine were terific. We all had a really enjoyable and relaxed time |
|
Carol and Richard, Private Christening Lunch, May 2009
Dear Jen and James Thank you so much for making Will's Birthday/ Christening such a special day for all of us. You took all the stress out of the occasion which meant Richard and I could thoroughly enjoy the day. We were very proud when ALL of our guests said how magnificent the food and service was. Best Wishes |

Thank you so much for a splendid evening. Thoroughly professional and you were much complimented for your excellent food and service. |
|
Rob and Sue, Wedding, 2008
I wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you for providing the catering service at our wedding. Your help, advice and guidance before the wedding to get us the right menu, table settings etc were gratefully received, and the tasting session beforehand was great fun, if not a kittle too much food given we had a dinner party that evening!!
The food on the day itself was also fantastic, how you managed to cook the fillet of beef so such perfection in our garage, for 130 people and all at the same time amazed us both. |
|
Mrs S, Private Lunch, 2008
James and Jen- perfect team-excellent pre event consultation and budget planning. Delicious food- loved by all (from 15months to 98 years old!). I will definitely look to you both to help with any future events. |
|
Mrs L: Private Canapé and Bowl food party, 2008
Jen and James- as always, everything was really exceptionally good. The pork and apple dauphinoise was particularly spectacular. Really superb! The girls who served were absolutely lovely and I know full well what seriously hard work it is to pull off what James did, in an unfamiliar kitchen with no privacy-bravo! |
|
Mrs K, Children’s Party, 2008
The food was absolutely delicious, and beautifully presented boxed lunches were a huge hit with the children and parents!! As one Mom said “It is exactly what you want for a children’s party”! |
Mr D, 2008
Guys - thank you SOOOOOOO much for this w/e.
Everybody, but everybody has commented on the fantastic food and the service - the 'crew' were a credit to you in every way. |

Dod’s has used Kalm Kitchen 3 times now and we certainly intend to use them in the future! The food was tremendous, staff superb and the service fantastic. I have no hesitation in recommending Kalm Kitchen to anyone for their event catering on a large or small scale. |

Will and I wanted to thank you both for the first rate service you provided from the moment I met James through to the big day itself your service has been incredible.
The food was amazing, every single thank you card received has commented on the outstanding quality of the food itself, the presentation and the staff.
We really can’t thank you enough for understanding exactly what we wanted and making it happen. Having been in direct communication with you leading up to the wedding, I was blown away and totally impressed with how you dealt with us right from the start. Always prompt to reply to messages or emails, up front and fair with pricing all the way through, your consistently accommodating and ‘can-do’ attitude. It really was such a pleasure to work with you. You clearly did everything you could to help us plan and put together the perfect package and not once did I feel that you were sneaking in costs or trying to get me to spend more money!! I felt confident that you knew what you were doing and that everything would be taken care of and also, that if we had missed anything or if things went wrong, you wouldn’t think twice to step in and improvise to make sure the day went well. I also felt you were really flexible through the whole process and willing to adjust your package as much as possible to give us exactly what we were looking for.
So thank you for all of that – it has been a pleasure working with you... took so much of the stress out of things! |
