Dear James,
I just wanted to say a big thank you to
you and Jill for such a fantastic day and evening on Saturday. The canapé making was absolutely brilliant and everyone
really enjoyed it. The food in the evening was delicious.
I will certainly be recommending you to
people in future and I expect we will be back at the house at some point.
Many many thanks again and
please do pass my thanks on to Jill and the 2 waitresses.
Best wishes,
Victoria

RE: Budget weekend catering package requirements for Fri 11th Nov - Sun 13th Nov
This is the first
chance I’ve had to email to say ‘Wow!’ The food was really good – and there was so much of it!!
There was enough left over from the Friday & Saturday meals for 5 of us to have a meal on Sunday night – and that
didn’t include one complete ballotine of chicken that was divided into 3 to take home!!! The soup on Saturday
was fine, so no worries there! Once again, thank you – if anyone is staying in the Broadway area again, I’ll be sure to recommend
you to them. Brgds Penny

Thank you
Hi James
I hope you are well, and are undoubtedly still very busy. We wanted to get in touch now that we are finally getting
back into a normal routine, to say a huge thank you for all you did for our wedding day. The food was incredible,
we had so many people commenting on it. It was simple, yet a little different, and perfectly cooked, really delicious.
One of the vegetarians also said how lovely it was to have such a nice dish, rather than something that felt like a
bit of an afterthought.
We are very grateful for the standard of food you delivered on the day. It was one of our priorities, to have great
food, so we are really thrilled we worked with you.
Kind regards and best wishes for the future, Susie & Sam Andrews
Dear James &
Tamarin,
Just to say thank you for organising
an excellent meal for us last night. Gill was a star; please pass on our thanks to her.
I have copied this in to my Father who is considering a catered meal on Saturday 21st January
in a cottage in Wotton-Under-Edge (just South of Stroud) for my Mother’s 70th Birthday.

was cooked in exactly the time you had indicated. Kindest regards, Jill Wenborn.
Subject: 8 - 10 July
Dear James, Words almost
fail me in knowing how to congratulate you and your staff on the magnificent meals and service you provided to us over the
weekend. I - and many of my guests - have eaten in many Michelin restaurants all over the world and can honestly
say that the quality of your food ranks with the best. We were bowled over. It would be invidious to single out any of the
dishes as they were all incredible from the first bite to the last. Your staff were flawlessly efficient and friendly. Well
done for creating and running such a good caterers. I, and others, will unhesitatingly recommend you. Where
do you source your steak (could cut it with a fork) and your sausages from? I get a lot of my meat from Donald Russell in
Inverurie, Aberdeenshire. Kind regards, Richard Hi
Just wanted to say thank you for the fabulous
meal at Hill house last Saturday night. The beef was fantastic in fact quite a few inc me and my husband said it was the best
we have ever had. The starter and dessert were great too and the two ladies who came to prepare and serve were a delight !
many
thanks
Lucy Hi Tamarin, Having
returned from our weekend of celebrations at Kempley Barns I thought to drop a line to thank Benson of Broadway for the most
wonderful meal Friday evening. Everyone agreed it made a great start to a very relaxing weekend at the Barns.
Each
course was enjoyed by all, even the younger children in our party asked if we could d it all again. Please pass on our
thanks to Lindy who assisted and especially James for his patience as one of our party unfortunately arrived slightly later
than planned.
Many thanks for us all. I think we could be seeing you again.
Kindest regards Adrian
Re: Shepherd/Tibbles Rehearsal Dinner at Woodend Farm
Hello James, You
and your staff did such a wonderful job of catering our dinner on Friday, June 24 at Woodend Farm. Everyone raved about how
delicious the food was and your staff was so professional and worked so smoothly in those very crowded rooms.
Thank
you again for doing such a nice job and helping to make our evening memorable.

Re: 9 April 2011, Meadowbank Hi James
Just wanted to
thank you and your team for a really fabulous meal last weekend. It was really lovely and everything went extremely well.
It really made our weekend something special.
Thanks
very much.
Vikki Hi James, My wife and I eventually arrived home late last Monday evening having thoroughly
enjoyed our stay at the Coach House, Upper Court Cottages, Kemerton. The location, accommodation, weather and not least the
meal provided last Friday night were all hugely appreciated. It is the first occasion we
have booked to have a meal cooked for us and hence we did not entirely know quite what to expect. We certainly needn't
have worried. The meal was really enjoyed by everyone and I have no doubt, when the family arrange to meet up again, we will
do something similar. Thank you for providing us with such a lovely evening. Rest assured,
we will be telling our many friends so it is quite possible more business will come your way from our contacts. With best wishes, Graham Jones .
Hi James
I
just wanted to let you know that we all thoroughly
enjoyed
both meals during our weekend stay at Wellacres. I
would
also like to say that the two people that came on
the
Saturday night were particularly good, I know people
enjoy
feedback so maybe you could pass that on. Thanks
again
for all your help sorting it out.

it was for a large group. There was a great deal of flexibility in making changes and choosing a menu that suited us perfectly TCF London [8 Jan 2011]
January
22nd Dear
James We are now back down to earth after our splendid weekend at Hill
House. One of the highlights was the excellent meal that you cooked and served for us on Saturday evening. We
are sure that you will have realised at the time just how much everyone enjoyed it. The soup was rated highly, but for
one diner who arrived a little late for the first course the delicious trio of trout was on its way to being
a 'mono' (brothers can be cruel!). The assiette of desserts was another highlight - the creme brulee was
narrowly ahead of the sorbet and the b&b pudding in the ratings. We
hope your routine was not too disturbed by kitchen chat (you were warned there was a great family interest in food!).
We would like to wish you all the best of future success in your business: you must have picked up our empathy as our
own James has just started on his own venture which, like you, is going for the quality end of the market. We shall
certainly pass on our experiences to people we know in Gloucestershire. Best wishes,
Robert and Jennifer Crockford 15th January kempley barns Hi James Thanks for a great night last

you Dear

Apologies that it is quite belated but David and I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your
help in making our wedding day so special and unforgettable.
All the guests loved the food, especially the crackling
from the hog roast which was claimed to be 'the best - EVER!' by several people. My fussy Dad even ate cous cous for
the first time and went back for seconds! We really appreciated that you were so organised and we could trust to leave
you to get on with things and not worry about anything on the day, and also that you were able to help us suceed in our ethos
of using local produce where possible.

You! Dear James Thank you so much for providing us with a wonderful meal on Friday evening. We all enjoyed the evening immensely and that was in no small part to the wonderful food and service provided
by you and the girls! The canapes were exquisite, the bbq, especially
the blackened cod, was superb and the desserts and fudge just yummy! Thank
you also for going to so much trouble for my Uncle's vegan menu, he rarely gets such a wonderful range of food and was
very impressed that you were able to provide a very similar dessert to all of us. We have no hesitation in recommending you to any potential clients you have. With thanks and kind regards Rachael [2 July 2010]

Hi James
So sorry I left without seeing you this morning. Do hope all is going well today. Well,
what a week and where to start with my thank you's. You have been totally extraordinary
and I am most eternally grateful for the way in which you helped at such short notice. It goes without saying that your cooking
was great but I think I will mostly remember the way in which you rose to the challenge, buckled down and worked so calmly
and effectively. It was just fantastic that you took on board everything and were wo willing and even stayed the weekend.
BRILLIANT and unforgettable. It was a pleasure to have you around and I do hope you enjoyed
the week with us. I hope to that you will return as well! I wish I was with you now and we
had the chance for a drink and a chat! You got us out of the biggest hole ever and I am eternally
grateful. Look forward to working together with you in the future.

cover the Bath/Bristol area too, as we will definitely be in touch for any special occasions that need catering in the
future.

Thank you so much for the delivery on Christmas Eve and sorry that we were not there to receive it personally.
Your directions for finding the cottage were very helpful, thank you, it was a difficult one to locate.
I had family visiting from Australia for Christmas and we were all really thrilled with your catering. The food
was wonderful and very plentiful, it was certainly a day of indulgence which we thoroughly enjoyed and your instructions for
heating and serving made everything very straightforward. My mother, who
is a great cook and a big foodie, said that it was the best Christmas meal she has ever had and wants to return next year
to enjoy it all again. I hope that you were able to enjoy
Christmas as much as we did. Thanks very much again.
All the best for 2010. Regards

RE: Christmas lunch delivery
Hi James
Your vegetarian food was fantastic, and my fears about portion size were laughable given that even with our enormous appetites
we had leftovers which made for an excellent meal latterly. With so much going on here it was a real treat to have such
a high quality 3 course meal brought to us ready prepared - we only spent an hour in the kitchen which has to be a first for
Christmas day and we will definitely continue to recommend you and make use of Bensons of Broadway again.
Thanks
so much.
Karen Thank
you very much for our lovely meal, I was impressed that you arrived to deliver it at the time arranged.
We really enjoyed our Christmas lunch. It only took 30 minutes to prepare our dinner, a record for Christmas!!
Bridget Farrer RE: Mince pies and Christmas lunch
Thank you for the lovely Christmas meal and the mine pies. Everything
was done with customer service and convenience in mind. I simply chose what I wanted, ordered and left the rest to you. Dad
thoroughly enjoyed his Christmas lunch and the mince pies, as ever, drew lots of compliments. They are definitely
the best mince pies we have tasted! Hilary [A]
Dear James,
On behalf of my whole family I would like to say thank you for working so hard
and making such delicious food for us. Our stay at Meadowbank was made perfect by your catering and we will definitely reccomend
you to any of our friends who may need similar services in the future. Each meal you made really was just right. The Sunday
evening meal in particular was superb, you rerally did make it special for us all.
I do not know how we
managed it but we did find room to polish off the brunch the following day and that too was delicious.
Many

job last weekend at the hen party in Eardisley.

went so well and tasted so good - you provided a really excellent service which I hope to have occasion to call upon again.

Wellacres dinner Dear James I just wanted to
drop you a note to say a big thank you for helping to make my 40th birthday weekend so special. The food and service on Saturday
night was absolutely superb, your staff are a real credit to you, nothing was too much trouble and their attention to detail
was brilliant. Very unobtrusive, very thoughtful and very friendly - I had to leave the table during the first course to settle
my son, and came back down 10 minutes later to find that they had kept my starter warm while I was upstairs. I think any parent
of young children would be very grateful for that kind of service on a regular basis!! We were also very impressed to find
that they had left enough space in the dishwashers to accommodate the glasses etc that we were still using when they left,
having washed up everything else by hand. All my guests were very complimentary about the quality and quantity of the
food. Please
pass on my heartfelt thanks to the two ladies who looked after us - I will be recommending you to anyone who will listen,
and have already written to thank Michael Foster for recommending you to me in the first place. Kind regards Mel

you please pass on my thanks to them. Thank you again and I wish you every success for the future -maybe one day it will be you celebrating a Queen's
Award. Best regards
Sheila Morning James, Just wanted
to drop you an email to say thanks so much for our meal on Saturday night at Rock Bank Cottage. You have been really helpful on the run up to the event which made everything a lot easier
for me to organise and on the evening itself everything was perfect. You were so professional yet really friendly which
made us all feel very comfortable. We all thoroughly enjoyed the meal – the
food was absolutely gorgeous. We were still talking about the hand made delicious bread rolls and after dinner chocolates
the day afterwards!!!!!!! We all felt thoroughly spoilt and it was so special to be in your own home / weekend cottage but yet have a 3 course,
5 star meal AND be waited on – what more could you ask for!!!
Our weekend was for a special occasion and your dinner on the Saturday night was the icing on the cake!
Thanks again James – I wouldn’t hesitate in
recommending you and your services to anyone! Alexandra [27 June 2009]

Hi James,
Just a quick note to say thank you for the wonderful food that you provided for us on Saturday. The effort
that had gone into catering for the dietary requirements was particularly impressive.
The lamb was lovely and I have it on good authority that the veggie options were too.
Very many thanks,

James,
Just
a note to thank you and your staff for putting on a splendid lunch at Wellacres last Sunday and prepared supper on Saturday.
Residents
and guests greatly enjoyed the dishes and the generous portions served.
I
am pleased that Michael recommended you for catering at Wellacres and that we had the sense to engage you.
With
best wishes for your success in the future and many thanks,
Peter.
Hello James,
Thank you so much for cooking such
a wonderful lunch yesterday. It was seasonal,
fresh & absolutely delicious & was very much appreciated by our guests. After our holiday in France we will fix our entertainments
for the rest of the year.
With very best wishes,
Sylvia Rondel. [28 April 2009]
[The following 2 events were
catered for simultaneously about 30 miles apart]
Dear James,
Many thanks for looking after us the
other weekend. The fact that we didn't have to think about catering for ourselves made it a relaxing weekend.
Your knowledge of the property and where
everything is in the kitchen made life easier for you and therefore hassle-free for us!
As I said to Michael: I don't suppose
that there would be anybody else remotely able to compete at all.
Good luck for your future business.

Thank you
Hi James,
I just wanted
to email, rather belatedly, to thank you and Adam for the delicious meal which you prepared for us on Saturday 14th March
at Oak House. Having you cook for us in the house made the weekend extra-special and we will remember it for a long
time to come. Thank you also to Adam for leaving the kitchen spotless before he left!
Very best
wishes,
Kate [14 March
2009]
And while Adam cooked there, James was cooking a few miles away at Wellacres.....
Re: March 14/15
Dear James
This is to thank you - from us all - for the most delicious meals that you prepared for us
at Wellacres last weekend. We all enjoyed them hugely and the little ones are still talking about their 3 course tea
!! Your quiet efficiency particularly on Saturday night meant that we forgot that you were in the room with us and we
could not have had a happier or more memorable evening. And your instructions for Sunday lunch were foolproof so that too
was a delicious meal.
I will certainly keep your details and very much hope that there will be another opportunity
to ask you to cater for us in the future.
With best wishes and again many many thanks
Ann Campbell
Re: Valentine's Day delivery
Our valentines meal was great. The quality of the fresh food
was so tasty, the scallops were beautiful and the beef melted in your mouth, and the trio of deserts was a great idea to taste
a number of different things. I loved the added touch of the beautiful rolls, chocolates and the printed menu. Then to top
it all off my kitchen was still spotless after a 3 course meal. I would recommend James to anyone and cant wait to have some
more of his great food on our holiday in June.
Thanks again Mr and Mrs Webb - Offenham.
Thank you for saturday evening at Rectory Park [24 January
2009)
Dear James
We are home at last after a superb weekend at Rectory Park.
Thank you so much for producing that wonderful meal on Saturday night,
all with so little fuss. Our guests generally are all used to a very high standard of catering, but they had nothing
but praise.
The meal being delayed by the late arrival of one of our quests seemed
to make no difference to you, the meat was still nicely pink. We finally got to bed around 3.30am - always a sign
of a good party!
I will not hesitate to recommend you to friends who live in the Cotswolds.
Thank you again for giving me a relaxing evening to enjoy my 60th birthday.
With best wishes

previous attempts at change have not gone well....

Well James what can I say other than Fabulous!
Your service provided on each evening was perfect, so
well organized, simple instructions (even for me to follow!) and the food was of such high standard, attention to detail was
amazing and the girls were so efficient and friendly.
My entire gang were so impressed they now want me to
arrange a 50th birthday and have you cook breakfasts and dinners each night! I will be in touch about that when I have recovered....
Thank you so much James, we were all very impressed
by the quality and presentation of the food and of your service, there was not one negative comment made, absolutely perfect.
My daughter Maggie, was deeply upset when we got home and I cooked dinner she wanted Chef Ratatouille!
I will be in touch, many thanks Louise
.....I also forgot to mention that Daniela from
Decadence cakes is absolutely fabulous. She comes highly recommended, she did exactly what I asked her to do, the cake was
stunning and tasted out of this world. She was also reasonable considering the end result. Perfect.
Many thanks Louise
Thank you.
Hello James,
Margaret and I would like to thank you most sincerely for the
services you provided at the Guildhouse last Friday and Saturday.
The Bistro meal on the Friday was perfection, and the entire
menu was highly acclaimed by our Guests.
On the Saturday your Dinner Party menu, being cooked and served
by you was exceptional, your attention to detail was obvious, and like us, our guests were very impressed, not only with
the presentation and service, but also the standard and quality you achieved with the food. The added bonus was, Margaret
did not have to spend time in the kitchen and I did not get the order to "Wash-up"
So thank you once again for making our stay at the Guildhouse
most enjoyable, and should we require the type of service you offer in the future, we will most certainly, be in
contact with you.
Have a great Christmas and a profitable new year.
Kindest Regards,
Brian and Margaret Colegate.

Dinner party at Broad Marston, Saturday June 28th
Hi James,
We were so involved having fun when you left that I didn't get a chance to thank you and your assistant for the
dinner party. Suffice to say it was fabulous, and your cooking attracted loads of compliments. It was such a luxury to relax
and enjoy such good food, to not have to worry about drinking, and - amazing! - to leave the dining room at the end of the
night and realise we had no clearing up to do either!
I was incredibly impressed and will recommend you to my friends.

Dear James,
We arrived tired and hungry at around 9 pm after a horrendous journey from Devon
because of an accident on the M6. Our meal was efficiently delivered prior to our arrival with excellent instructions and
we enjoyed the first two courses before falling into bed exhausted. We ate at the local Pub (the Crown) the next evening but
although we were encouraged by the chef to have a dessert we had seen our final course and so had no hesitation in refusing
and rushing back to the Dovecote to enjoy an excellent raspberry roulade. Many thanks. We will recommend both Uppercourt and
James Benson any time to all our friends.
Many thanks

A
huge thank you to you and your staff for all you hard work and efforts at our dinner party on Saturday evening at Upper Court. I can't believe how easy it all was - you provided fantastic food and were helpful
and completely unobtrusive- we wouldn't have known you were there had it not been for the superb food!
The presentation
was excellent and the quality of the food was unquestionable. Please extend our
sincere thanks to your assistants on the evening who set up and prepared everything, and whom left the kitchen absolutely
pristine with everything cleared away and tidy
when they left.
Benson of

I apologise for not emailing

Court a couple of weeks ago (11-12 November).
I just wanted to say, on
behalf of the whole group, how much we appreciated your efforts that weekend. The
food was absolutely divine particularly so since it was created in a kitchen that was not much bigger than a cupboard!
None of us could have anticipated
that the food would be of such high quality and it really made the weekend special and memorable.
We very much appreciated
both your and Suzanne’s very discreet and helpful presence during the weekend which meant that we were able to just
relax and enjoy ourselves.
