Hi I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the lovely meal I had today and commend you on the impressive staff team you employ, they were really attentive, friendly and polite. I observed each one as they ensured that every customer felt valued and welcome  I will recommend your restaurant to my friends and colleagues. I was also particularly impressed with the tiramisu and would be grateful for the recipe as it is one of my favourites! Thank you again, I will certainly return. Kind regards Sue Ambrose

 

Dear Christine and Brian and Staff
We have just had a wonderful meal with you today with our friends with their small daughter Evie.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you and all of the staff for making it a lovely relaxed dining experience and especially for the special pudding made for Evie. Obviously the food was up to its usual excellence which always is enjoyed by us.
Sadly we will not be dining with you for a while as we move to Leicestershire tomorrow but when we return to Kent for visits to friends and family you will be at the top of our list for places to eat.
May we take this time to wish you well with your business and glad tidings for the approaching festivities.
With many regards and thanks
Dave and Jane Martindale

I just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for the excellent reception you provided yesterday after my mother's funeral at Charing Crematorium.  Ten and Mamiow looked after us all extremely well, were very efficient and provided some excellent food which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. I'm sorry we didn't meet personally but I wanted to thank you and let you know how much we appreciated your efforts. With thanks again,Kind regards

Hi Christine, Jan and I would like to thank you and Brian and all your staff for making our special day perfect. All our guests have asked us to convey their thanks and congratulations to you for putting on such a marvellous meal.

Dear Christine and Brian, We would like to thank you for the absolutely beautiful meal, drinks etc that you provided for us on our wedding anniversary. It was superb.

Just wanted to drop you a quick email to say thank you very much for yesterday.

My Father-in-law Keith was very happy with the whole thing as were all the guests. I must say we were all very impressed with the whole standard of service from the organised way it was all dealt with right through to the friendly and pleasant staff looking after us. The food was well received by all.

Please pass our gratitude on to all involved and I think we may have found a new favorite eating place for Keith!! It was also good to meet you and see you looking so well only a short time after your op. Once again may thanks and hopefully we will visit again soon. Cheers Carl

 

Hi Christine
Is there any chance of us being able to book a table for four on 28th Feb for your set Thai Banquet menu offer.
May I just mention that Janet and I thought Thursday's Tasting Evening was most enjoyable and all the courses were fantastic and so were the wines Richard

 

Just to say how much we enjoyed the Tasting menu last night...the food was delicious and the portions just right. It was also good to meet Gary the chef and I look forward to learning some fish skills from him in March.
Sincerely
Olwen Tolhurst

Just a short note to say thank-you for having us for Sunday Lunch.  I’ve only had good comments from the others that attended. :)

Luckily you were able to fit in the five extra people – no matter how much notice you give, there’s always some that won’t commit, so I hope they didn’t put you to too much inconvenience.  Ian Booth Dover
