Re: Catering, Rectory Park, 24 - 26 October 2008
James,
Just
wanted to say thank you for the catering last weekend. We really enjoyed the food, and you (and Adam) provided
a great service. We'd be more than happy to recommend you to others and to use your services again ourselves.
Thanks
again.

Hi
James
Thank
you so much for a fantastic weekend of food. All of the guests have been raving about the food as well as the instructions
for preparing/heating. It certainly helped make the weekend a memorable one.
I
know that a few of them asked you about the fish pie recipe, if you are willing to share with us that would be great but I
understand if not!
Once
again, many thanks and I hope that we will be able to use you again soon.
Kind
regards

Re: Tim's 65th
Dear
James Benson,
We
had a wonderful weekend at Upper Court for Tim's 65th birthday, and the delicious food you prepared for us was a real treat
- I wish you'd been able to see the whole gang fall on it with such relish! And you even managed perfect weather for
us too.
Once
again, very many thanks.
Regards,

Hi James
Thank you for the canapés yesterday. We had compliments on
the spread and particularly high praise from one lass whose parents run a restaurant in the Cotswolds. Your
reputation as a chef of distinction does you credit.
The hard work is done - I now have a formula
which I know works so I can roll it out again and again.
Warmest wishes

Dear James,
We just wanted to write and thank you so much for the delicious
meal that you cooked for us on Saturday night at The Chestnuts. We all thought that the food was delcious and that the whole
experience was so much nicer than going out for a meal. It was also great to not have to worry about any clearing up.
Many thanks from us all.
Emily, Lou and Leonie.

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.

Hi James,
...... Everyone and ourselves have been talking about how delicious and wonderful the food
was. Thank you so much. I wish I could eat it all again.

RE: Catering at Rectory Park 7 June 2008
I
just wanted to thank you very much for Saturday nights meal.
It
was excellent and everyone commented on how good it was.
I’ll
definitely be in touch again for the next party.

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

Hi James,
Just wanted to say a big thank you to you both from myself and Lisa and the rest of
the ladys of the weekend for making our saturday night so lovely, the food was delicious and the service was excellent. It
was a lovely feeling that no one was having to cook or clear away after and that you'd done it all for us. Thank you very
much for making it very special and elegant.
Many Thanks,

Thanks
Dear James,
This is to say thank you, more than I know how, for all the effort
and trouble you went to to help me out when I felt so terrible and overwhwelmed. We have enjoyed your cooking enormously
and are so impressed by the thoroughness with which you carry everything out: the personal delivery, the practical packaging
with clear and helpful instructions - everything made so easy. When one is feeling miserable all that counts 200%!
Please accept our sincerest thanks, to you and to your mother.
Again, please accept our deepest thanks for your generous help
and kindness and marvelous cooking!
Yours sincerely,

Re: Saturday dinner
Dear James,
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
Broadway's hard work made an evening of eating in for ten so totally effortless it truly was as though a restaurant had come
to us!!
I have absolutely
no hesitation in recommending Benson of Broadway and please feel free to give out my contact details should you ever require
a recommendation.
With our thanks
and very kindest regards,
Irene Venning

Hello James,
What can I say that Jane
hasn’t already said, the food was absolutely fantastic and your staff brilliant - they made us all feel very comfortable.
It really made such a difference to have great food with the people you care most about and being able to be yourself with
great staff who want to look after you.
So once again many thanks
for all the great food that we had over the weekend and for helping make my weekend so very special.
Warmest Regards

RE: Weekend of 17th August -
Upper Court
Hi James
From all the girls in the Coach
House last weekend, I would like to express our sincere thanks for such wonderful service, food and most of all for being
such a good sport!!! You, and your two staff did well to put up with the sheer noise of us.
Not only that, the food
was absolutely (and this come from everyone) BEAUTIFUL!!! The barbecue food was still being eaten long into the evening
there was so much of it… and such fantastic quality. We were really, really pleased, and it really made the weekend
for our Hen Natalie, she had a fantastic time… and you are partly responsible for that, so we all thank you from the
bottom of our (very drunk at the time, but very sober now) hearts.
Many thanks,
Jane
PS She’s gutted she didn’t
book you for her wedding!!!!

Thanks again, Kathleen
