AddressWe just wanted to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU for helping to make our big day so very special. From the minute we walked in off the street on a 'whim' all those weeks ago until the day itself, you and your team have been superb. In particular Richard and the team worked so hard on the day to make sure everything ran beautifully.
I was so confident that it was totally under control that I was able to just sit back, relax and enjoy the experience like everyone else. I cannot tell you how many compliments we received from our guests about the high quality of the food, the calibre of the service and the location of the restaurant. I think you've won yourselves a few more customers!!
We've been told that the photos will take a few weeks, but we'll send them over as soon as we get them. Many, many thanks once again for all your support.
We wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful party on Saturday night – everyone commented on the lovely venue and also on the lovely food. Thank you for all your help organising it and to the Wharf team for making it all so lovely.
Thank you very much for all your help. We had a wonderful day and your staff were fantastic. We have had endless comments about the location and the delicious food. We couldn't fault anything. We hope to be back for a meal soon.
