The logistics were executed beautifully, the room and set up looked amazing and everything went without a hitch – thanks to your planning and support on the day. I’ve received many comments since our event about how lovely the MCC venue is – and how much our team enjoyed the day – which is in no small part thanks to you. – Anne, December 2024

 I just want to say many, many thanks for our delicious mid-winter Xmas buffet yesterday. I have received numerous compliments saying how great the food was. From how tender the meat was, to how perfectly the broccoli was cooked in the salad, to the delicious potatoes, not to mention the melt in your mouth lemon tarts. The list goes on. Someone was even extremely impressed with the warm plates. Your staff were extremely helpful and obliging. I sincerely hope you are still the caterer at the Milford Cruising Club next year, when we return at the same time. – July 2024
I would like to praise Joe for the Mid-Winter Christmas dinner. It was a wonderful meal, with amazing tastes and seasonings. The meat was perfectly cooked and great selection of veges.  Loved having the Yorkshire pudding and the whole meal was great value for money. – Jenny, June 2024
