Testimonials
It was totally seamless - Charlotte came round a few weeks before the event, we had a long discussion about the menu, a couple of days later we received a quote and a couple of hours before the start of the event Charlotte turned up and calmly unloaded her vehicle and with no assistance from us calmly got the nibbles sorted (which were yummy) and then sorted out the main course and sweets that finished the evening- She then quietly cleaned up, packed up and disappeared. When the thank-yous came in the most often mentioned feature of the evening was the catering. I have no hesitation in recommending Charlotte Robinson for any of your catering requirements.
- Richard Clouston
The food was delicious and preparation was so easy to follow. Would certainly recommend Charlotte’s Oven.
- Brenda
Your food was adored and devoured! Thank you for its perfection.
- Anthony Hoskins
I have used Charlotte’s Oven for several work functions and the food is delicious, well packaged and beautifully presented. It’s also nice not having to stop for burgers on the way home from a function because the blokes tummies are still rumbling i.e. the food doesn’t just look good it’s also filling. Charlotte thinks of everything down to the tooth picks and bowls for dipping sauces. Whatever the occasion, I highly recommend Charlotte’s Oven.
- Bridget Chrystall
What a stress free way to have a dinner party. Charlotte is incredibly efficient and so accomodating especially with those of us with special dietary requirements. Beautifully prepared and delicious!
