The Secret Restaurant

Nicole and Dan here. We just wanted to say thank you SO much for the beautiful food on the day every one loved it and were absolutely blown away. WE were blown away by how accurately and thoughtfully yourself and your team replicated our seating plan and centrepieces we walked in and did an entire lap of the room with not one single change needing to be made which is incredibly impressive as every centrepiece was different and some a lot more complicated then others. You’re whole team put in such effort and it absolutely showed and we are so grateful for that. we will always recommend you from here on out! Again thank you to yourself and your fabulous team. Warm Regards, Nicole & Dan Bartlett. This, our thank you email to our wonderful caterers. If you want some thing unique, relaxed but professional look no further. And our wedding was on a budget but food was important to us and it showed through their hard work and beautiful creative ideas.

The Secret Restaurant were the perfect choice for our wedding! We had a venue which was pretty lacking in basic amenities and limited in facilities (I.e it had no kitchen!) but from the initial phone call with with Nicola and meeting both Nicola and Tamsyn at the venue for the first time, they completely put us at ease and were as excited about it as we were! We wanted a relaxed feel to the day and so we went with one of their BBQ options. The food was incredible! I’ve been so many weddings where the food has been mediocre but our guests are still talking about our food and how delicious it was... everyone was so impressed by how perfectly cooked the meats were with the set up they had and how they’d never tasted a Greek salad like the one at our wedding! Not only was the food amazing but both Nicola and Tamsyn completely put us at ease both the day before and the day of the wedding when the panic set in about certain situations at the venue. Having a DIY wedding is stressful but the professionalism and service the whole of The Secret Restaurant team gave was amazing, they ran the day for us and didn’t let us worry about a thing!

Hi Nicola, I just wanted to say thank you so much for last weekend! All the guests absolutely raved about the food and thought it was absolutely delicious, which it really was :) People also commented on how lovely the staff were. The food really made the day so thanks for all your hard work. Caroline

Dear Nicola, Tamsyn and team, Phili and I are recently returned from honeymoon and wanted to let you know how excellent we think you are! As was predicted, we felt the day fly by and only over the last week have been able to remember the details that made the day run so perfectly; fantastic canapes to behind the scenes cake movements to keeping our special bottle of champagne close to hand and creating a truly delicious meal. Tamsyn, you were always on hand, no request ever too much and all handled with a smile. We couldn’t have asked for more. Likewise, the team you had supporting you were friendly and helpful throughout the day which meant a great deal to us. Please pass on our thanks to everyone involved, we hope to be able to share a few photos with you as soon as we have them from our photographer. With warmest regards, Ian & Phili

Hi Nicola I just wanted to thank you personally and your team for taking such care of me from the coeliac point of view. After you explained the menu to me and how I would be served I felt totally at ease. I also thoroughly enjoyed the food. I would also like to comment on how pleasant your team were and in particular Heather (I hope I have the right name). Once again many thanks. Kind regards Siobhan Smith Ireland

Nicola, Just a quick email, card to follow. The food at the wedding was outstanding, it all tasted delicious and the presentation was beautiful. The staff were amazing and everything went so well, thank you and all the staff so much. Kind regards, Orla and Ben

Hello ladies! Well, back from honeymoon and coming down to Earth- Jack not letting me get bored of course! Just wanted to say a huge thank you to you all for everything you did to make our wedding so special. Nicola the cake looked so good, you did a fantastic job thank you so much Tamsyn you & Jess did an amazing job and thank you too for babysitting at the end while we checked out the honeymoon yurt! We did get to stay in it the following night, although someone got there first . . Please can you pass on our thanks to Jess & the team- every single one of them was so polite, cheery & helpful. . One of our guests has Alzheimer’s & just wanted cheese on toast and you guys kindly made it for him, no fuss. You brought in canapés for myself and our mums into the granary while I was breastfeeding. . You looked after one of our guests who was unwell. . So many times you went above and beyond. Jess ran the day so smoothly and dealt with the inevitable late-running and other issues so calmly and always with a smile. And as for the food, well, everyone is still raving about it and will get for some time so thank you chefs! We can’t thank you enough for making our day just what we wanted it to be. We are desperately trying to think of an occasion to justify booking you again (and having exactly same menu, wouldn’t change a thing!) Except maybe a kilo each of fish tacos . . Soooooo great! So, cats will follow soon but in the meantime, THANK YOU!!!!!!! to you all, from us all Sarah, Iwan Jack Xxxxx

Morning Tamsyn and Nicola, I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you both for providing such a fantastic service and food on our wedding day. We couldn’t of asked for better! Every single person I have spoken to have all said how attentive you all were, and how massively impressed they were with the food. We even had someone say it was probably the best wedding food they have ever had! Everyone said the steak was amazing and the puddings were to die for (I made sure I managed to eat every bit of the puddings as they were my favourite on the taster session!) The meats were all beautifully cooked and all the guests who had special dietary requirements have all mentioned how lovely their food was and that they felt very well looked after. The presentation of the tables & food was beautiful, and all the staff friendly :) The bar staff for the evening were all wonderful too and the cocktails were very yummy! I honestly didn’t have to worry about a thing and you guys just made the day go so smoothly without any fuss, perfect. I would absolutely love to leave you guys a review so is there anywhere that’s best to leave you one? Again thank you so much, from our first conversation by email to the wedding day you ladies have just been so helpful, professional, responsive to emails and nothing has been too much trouble. You’ve made our day one to truly remember. Many Thanks Emma and Adam Ozal!! :)

Lots of love Keeley and Louie
