"Using an outside caterer for my 50th Birthday party was an inspiration.
I turned up at the Cricket Club at 6:30 and the guy from Hammonds was already there laying out the food. It looked good and there was loads of it. Using Hammonds made it so easy. All I'd had to do was choose the menu and arrange the date. I didn't have puddings just a savoury menu: loads of sandwiches, snacks and a finger buffet.
I'd used Hammonds because the Cricket club recommneded them. They knew the form and made the arragements easy. 1 week later everyone said they'd really enjoyed my party and the food had been good.
There was no way we could have, oursleves catered for 100 people and the cleaning up would have taken forever.
.... and I'm not sure it would have been any cheaper.
It was the first time we (my wife and me) had ever considered caterers but it just worked and really helped make the event go so well. I'm telling everyone it's the way to do it. Thanks for everything"

"We never got the opportunity on the day to thank you or your staff for the fabulous job you all did. Please accept our thanks and pass on to everyone involved in making our day so special and memorable.
Having searched the internet for caterers in the area for our wedding, we approached Hammonds and we are so glad we did. From start to finish the service was excellent. They were professional yet very friendly and accomodated all our wishes with enthusiasm and efficiency.
The food was superb and excellent value for money and there was enough so no one went hungry and there was even some buffet left over. The choice of menu was fabulous and they offered to create dishes which weren't on their menu. The service of the sit down meal was exemplary and atleast as good as you could expect in any 5* hotel.
Hammonds friendly, helpful aand efficient service ensured that our day was worry free and one that our guests and ourselves will remember for a very long time. We have already recommended Hammonds to friends aand we wont look anywhere else should we need catering for any large or small event in future - christening maybe?! Many thanks to you all."

"Hi Sally, i am writing this with a thick head and suffering from sleep deprivation but i can report ahighly successful function last night! Your team were superb and looked after us amazingly wll despite the challenges of sticking to a timetable when you have 65 youngsters in party mood. We had many compliments about the quality of all the food and the pimms went down a storm too. Jenny, Haley, Chris and Jess were very professional and attentive and i found their experience invaluable. They played a big role in the party going so well.
Sally i cant thank you enough for all your guidance and support since we first starting discussing the party several months ago. The end result was first class and very importantly, just what Lizzie was hoping for."

"It was brilliant and the food was amazing, i shall be recommending you to anyone who wants caterers. Lovely weather, lovely food and loads of friends and family, excellent. We even raised £400 for Birmingham Childrens Hospital so that was amazing too. Only downside it took until today to recover as so tiring!!!"
Gregory - July 2011
"Hi, the catering was brilliant, all the food went down so well especially the jacket potato skins with red leicester in they were amazing. I was amazed at how much food there was for the price. The food was delivered very well and only a bit late due to the ridiculous road diversions that occurred on the day. The delivery guy was very apologetic even though it was not his fault and could not be helped. Alot of people asked who had done the catering so i handed out your business cards and explained what you provided and what you had on offer and i will be continuing to recommend you every time i am asked if i know a good catering company. Thank you once again for providing such a fab buffet and taking some of the stress off me."

"Dear Stacie.
I just wanted to send a quick note to thank you and all involved at Hammonds for the buffet that you provided on Thursday. I do alot business-to-business work and so was pretty convinced by the professional manner that you dealt with my initial contact that we were in safe hands. The wake went very well and we were extremely pleased with the quality of the buffet and the service provided. We felt the variety of the buffet was good and represented excellent value per head."

" Hi Stacie
We had a great time thank you. The food was very good and we had lots of positive feedback. The icecreams went down a treat and added well to the movie theme. Your staff were very efficient and polite and nothing was too much trouble for them and everything was left neat and tidy at the end of the evening. Many thanks for helping to make the evening such a success."

"I booked Hammond's for a last minute event. I am so pleased that i did. Sally and her team did us proud. Right from the start of the process, Sally came up with some great ideas for the do. She worked with my suggestions and came up with ideas. Sally remained cool even when shuffled and changed things around and even as the numbers fluctuated up and down! The hog roast, which we served to our guests was wolfed down and everyone complimented us on the spread! The staff were helpful, efficient and professional. I also feel that the feast was good value for money. All in all i was very happy with my choice in Hammond's!"
