Yvette catered a three course meal for 6 for my 60th birthday and it was absolutely wonderful. I am a fussy eater and Yvette was more than happy to talk through options that would work for me and which the rest of the family would enjoy. The twice cooked soufflé was sublime and the quiet around the table spoke volumes as everyone tucked in.

Book Yvette now! The service pre, during and post our event for a family celebration was spot on. 19 women all agreed it was a fabulous menu with all the little tweaks we asked for being included without making us feel different (nut allergies/gluten free).

We absolutely love Yvette's food at our office. The quality of food is always excellent and she is fantastic at accommodating different dietary requirements. Yvette has also catered for special events in our office, including preparing dishes inspired by different parts of East & Southeast Asia, which went down brilliantly.

Nothing was too much trouble. We chatted on the phone about which menu options would work, and then she came to the venue to discuss logistics for the day itself. Each dish was substantial, tasty, attractive and had an original twist. Our guests were delighted and everyone commented how much they enjoyed her food.

Yvette is happy to work on menu options and ideas, and provides a full update prior to delivery. Yvette also checks-in post delivery to make sure everything has gone to plan. I would be very happy to recommend Food Lovers Lane for any catering requirements.

Despite the short notice and the challenge of catering to 50 guests, you delivered a truly exceptional lunch that was both beautifully presented and immensely enjoyed by all. It's a rare talent to turn a difficult day into a memorable one, and you did so with grace and professionalism.

We all really enjoyed the food and we had meal choices for the starter and main which suited everyone tastes. Yvette also made my amazing chocolate cake which we all loved and looked very impressive.
