Catering for a BBQ

Thank you all for being so kind in replying to my post re catering for my daughter’s wedding.
I have passed some suggestions on to my daughter but it would appear that the original caterer has now come back to them. So fingers crossed all will be fine. Thank you again.

Barbara what is going on.
I have replied to your previous post asking what questions you wanted me to answer. You did not reply.
I now see you have asked Tracey, a mutual friend if we have a restaurant and now you have put on here you think we own a campsite. We don’t.
My post was a genuine post. Why are you suggesting it is something suspicious.

Sorry Jane but yes I did get the wrong info obviously.
But I did want to help you find someone to cater for your daughters
wedding. Your first choice of caterer would have been someone whom I would have
suggested to ask.
I am glad that he came back to you and that all goes well for the wedding plans.

Who is Jane? You have mentioned her at least twice and she isn’t part of the discussion :confused:

Yes it is Joan but I didn’t like to correct.

Barbara may have you mixed up with somebody else, called Jane, who has or has had a camp site etc etc

Hi Jane,
Contact Phil King, he is a hog roast specialist, I have heard he is very good, I hope to use him on a couple of Events that
I am organising for 2018. If you send me a Pm I will pass his number to you. He is used to cooking for large numbers of guests.

Hi Joan,
I waited 2 months before I got a quotation, so you have to be a little patient unfortunately. Especially if they work or run Restuarants, they are really busy. If you are looking for a Wedding planner, give me a PM I have been a WP for many years.

Hi Laraine

Thank you for the information. We seemed to be getting nowhere waiting for a reply from a local chef hense my original post, he eventually replied . Now days later we are waiting for a quote.
I will contact you in a few days for the information if still waiting.
Thank you.
Regards Joan not Jane :blush:

Thank you for this.

Hi Joan, sorry about the mistake with Jane.
Keep intouch. Where about are you based.
Did you notice my 2 posts,

  1. for Christmas Lunch if you have no other arrangements
  2. New Years Eve Dinner Dance.

Talk soon and take care,
Laraine.

Has Joan resolved her problem?

Don’t really know, I haven’t
heard from her.

I was thinking that Joan would have given us some good news.
I hope that your New Years Eve celebration is a big success.
I am sure that it will be as George Smith is very popular…and the chateau
is charming.

Hi Barbara,

Yes I thought I would have heard back

People are coming back to me slowly,but surely, the problem is people don’t realize that New Years Eve Catering, Music and hiring of equipment is always double and sometimes treble, butunfortunately that is how it is. As you have said before.
If you want something really special, this will be the place, I guarantee it.
What is on offer for 100 euros is not expensive, 5 piece swing all evening and everyone who know George Smith knows that it is going to be a good night. the food, what a lovely menu,
including bottle of Red, White and Rose wine, and champage, plus favours, novelties, Decorations, hire of equipment. I have had quotes from 4 other caterers, all roughly the same price for NYE.
Plus we have a table photograph

I am sending this reply to you know that people who read this will comment, but that is up to them, I know comments will be ‘it is too expensive, they must be making a lot of money on this’,

There are people in this world who just passionate and love organizing things for other people so they can enjoy themselves without putting money in their pocket, I just want people to see what a beautiful Chateau du Parc is, for any future venues for weddings and other events. New people have recently bought the Chateau and so this is the reason I planned this event for them.

Hi Laraine all joking apart, assuming the food is good I would say the event seems pretty good value. Good luck.

It is a lovely chateau Larraine.
A lovely place for a wedding reception.

I agree, for people who like that sort of thing the price seems good. Just having a fairly normal meal out in New Year’s Eve can work out fairly expensive.

Hi Laraine
I thought all was well with the caterer but apparently not.
Would you please forward the contact details for Phil King as mentioned in your previous post. Thank you Joan.

Hi again Laraine
Have just read the other posts regarding the NYE extravaganza - sounds great. We are based in the UK now Laraine otherwise would most definitely be asking for tickets.
I don’t look on Survive France regularly , and as I thought our wedding catering problem had been solved did not rush to get back on the site. As my prev post, unfortunately this is not the case so any further suggestions will be most gratefully received.
Thank you Joan

Hi Joan,
Can you please send me a PM to info@hideawaysenfrance.co.uk and I will forward Phils’ mobile number.
Thanks,
Laraine.
