Here a just a few of the emails we've received lately.

  • Hi Richard,

    Just wanted to say how great your platters where last night-you did a great job with the Italian theme and many of our corporate customers asked for your name as they were most impressed!

    We will definitely use your services again.  Jocelyn  (Aug '10)

  • Hello, yet another board meeting to feed!  I think they must like your food so much they have decided to hold them here as the other branches haven’t held one since you took over the food!

  • I can say with all sincerity I will miss the incredible high quality of your service.

I certainly have not had anyone do catering as well as  you do.

There has never, not been a complement for the food, no matter where I went.

The food is always unusual, interesting and very tasty.

So a big THANK YOU!!

I hope you will continue being successful, and if you ever open a branch in Auckland let me know.

  • Hi Richard

Just a quick email to thank you so much for the fantastic food you provided for our client function!  Everyone commented on the wonderful selection - hopefully you should get quite a few referrals as people were so impressed!

I would also like to commend you on your great staff - they explained to the girls (our waitressses!) each item of food so they could then tell our guests what they were eating.

Many thanks again     Fiona   (Dec '09)

  • Hi Richard . I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you so much for the fantastic platters this week.

The lunch platter was absolutely fantastic and our IAG members raved about it for the whole meeting. We have dealings with a lot of people in the art industry and I have had numerous calls after our exhibition night as to where the platters were from.

I have forward your details to these people if they require your services at some stage.

Once again - thank you so much for the effort that you put into creating such wonderful food and presenting it.

After trial and error with about five other catering companies – we have got it right!!!

  • Hello! Just wanted to say thank you for the great morning tea! Everyone was really impressed and very happy, Look forward to dealing with you again in the future,

Kind regards, Renee (Jan, '09)

  • As a trained chef, and restauranteur, I can be quite a picky food critic! At this time of year we are flat out, so I was thrilled at the prospect of someone else doing the hard graft for my girls' night party (20 guests) recently.

  The platters of finger food arrived exactly when they were supposed to, had the right amount of food, & looked very appealing. They were innovative, varied , fresh, & delicious. Almost tempted to pass them off as my own, but conscience didn't allow. Big thumbs up from the girls -well done.

  • This email is to thank you very much for the FANTASTIC catering served on Monday and Tuesday of this week for CYF.   Even our fussiest eater was impressed by the meals served, normally when I order catering, I tend to listen to at least one or two long, long stories about various things, but this time there was nothing but praise, I think it was the great variety of tasty food that you serve.  The fruit platters were also great, with lots of variety as well (the passionfruit was the favourite!) Mardi Taiaroa

  • Dear Richard

     I am just writing to express our appreciation in working with Simply Catering for our function on 20th September in Christchurch.  We were delighted with the food you provided as it was both delicious and beautifully presented. Our guests made many favourable comments about the lunch and even with it being so delicious there was plenty to go around. (...) receives 73% of our funding from the freewill gifts of our supporters. This function was an opportunity for us to say “thank you” to some of these key and long-time supporters so we were very pleased with the professionalism (and tastiness) of your service. Please also pass on our appreciation to your team.

    Thanks again ... Grant
