Hello Hamish,Thanks so much for masterminding our garden party. We had a brilliant time and have received many compliments about it, including of course your lovely food. John Moody + John Priestley in particular were very impressed with the quality of your waiting staff and Anne Priestley said she had never had such an efficient catering/waiting team working in her home.
The young ones loved their day and it turned out exactly as they had planned, with the young families enjoying the relaxed atmosphere and a chance to eat before they packed up to go home. Thanks again for being on hand to help the Moodys out!!

Hi Hamish
We wanted to drop you an email and say THANK YOU SO MUCH!  Last Saturday was the best day of our lives, and we were so impressed with the food & staff.  In fact it has been one of the top talking points of all of our guests - everyone was saying it was absolutely lovely, and it was.I cannot believe what you managed to achieve with the small venue & facilities, and honestly cannot say that I have ever met friendlier staff. So thank you so much, and we will definitely be recommending you to friends.
 Adam & Rebecca, April 2009

Thank you for the wedding breakfast. We had many complimentary comments on all the food  so were well satisfied with our choices. Thanks also for being so obliging re the cupcakes. They were also well regarded - not surprising considering the huge plugs they got from the MC ! Our special thanks go to your staff. Paulo was a great leader and all the others were polite, happy, efficient, well turned out and thoroughly professional. We expected the food to be great  after our "practice " but just had to hope the rest of the package was as good so we are thrilled. We will certainly use you for our next celebration - not sure what that will be but we do seem to have a lot of parties! We will recommend you and are happy to be put on to a list of happy customers. Finally it was a pleasure to deal with you personally. The calm emails and willing assistence were much appreciated.
Kind regards Katherine Copland, Hopetoun Alpha, February 2009

A huge thank you from our family for the wonderful food and service you provided at Georgie and Joel's wedding. We probably only have a glimpse of the issues you had to contend with because of the venue but none of it was apparent on the day. As you know, food above all else remains in a lot of guests' minds after an event and yours was superb.  A number of people asked me where we found you and how to contact you so I have directed them to your website. We also appreciated the assistance you gave us before the wedding in making sure we had everything taken care of so the day could run smoothly. All the best, Dorothy and Russell, January 2009

The presentation was great, the service was great and the food was great! Thanks to you and your team's professionalism, our wedding day high tea was a highlight, with plenty of praises from our guests.
Karen Dombroski and Allan Bell, Wedding at Alberton, November 2008

"Just a quick note to thank you for the wonderful job that you and your staff did for us on Saturday night.  The food and service were absolutely faultless, and we had lots of great feedback from the guests about how delicious everything was.  And the bowls were the perfect presentation for the elegant but relaxed vibe we were trying to create.  It all went so smoothly that we were able just to sit back and enjoy the evening - which is of real credit to you in particular having to work out of that tiny kitchen at Hopetoun Alpha!  We'd like to add a special thanks to all of your lovely staff and in particular Arlene, who was outstanding - not only during the course of the evening but also right at the start and again at the end when we were packing up and she went the extra mile to help us.  She is a real asset."
Stephanie and Tommy Honey, Wedding at Hopetoun Alpha, 5th January 2008

"Palmco used Hamish Stewart Catering for the Opening of our award winning Jungle Garden at the Ellerslie Flower Show. We were impressed by the level of service and understanding of our wishes when obtaining quotes, and staff & guests alike were blown away with the beautiful food and fantastic service which added to make our night a huge success. Thank you to Hamish & his great team." Karen Moffat, November 2007

"We have been using Hamish Stewart Catering for over 3 years now for all our catering needs, ranging from client meetings through to cocktail evenings down in the viaduct. At all times the food is superb, tastes delicious and is displayed beautifully. I have very high standards when it comes to catering and Hamish has always exceeded these."

Guests have always been very impressed. By far the best catering company we have ever been involved with."
Hilton and Cathy Brown, July 2007

"I'd like to thank Hamish and the team at HSC for the wonderful job they made of the food at a recent seminar we held. The food was impeccably presented, there on time and as tasty as we could have hoped for all within budget. Hamish, Oxoid NZ is now a convert, as are several of our function guests who requested your details, I can unreservedly recommend your service to anyone hosting a function. Keep up the good work!"
Alan Chilcott, General Manager, Oxoid NZ Ltd. July 2007

"What an amazing team! Thanks so much for catering at our wedding. The food was superb +++ and the waiting staff on the day very professional. We were so impressed, as were all our guests, who raved about the food. I especially want to thank Hamish for all his help from beginning to end – nothing was too difficult and he was able to give us great advice on drink numbers, hire equipment etc. I can thoroughly recommend Hamish Stewart Catering to anyone looking for fabulous food and excellent service"
Marie & Rob McNeill, Wedding in Puhoi, 7th April 2007

"Hi Hamish
You catered our wedding in October, months later we are still hearing from our friends about how great the food was. We found you to be very accomodating to our needs and easy to work with and would certainly recommend you."
Trish and Matt, Wedding at Hopetoun Alpha, 29th October 2006  

"We would be happy to recommend you to anybody wanting a first class function. Our Christmas function was so well received by our clients and is still a talking point to this day. The food was sensational and the service was as good as any place I have been to around the world. Would we consider doing the same again? You bet we would!
Regards, Steven Edwards, CEO, Banksia Scientific
