Success Stories

Corporate Event - Dinner

“I just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for the wonderful dinner you and your team produced on Tuesday evening at the Merchant Adventurers' Hall. The dinner was absolutely fantastic and thoroughly enjoyed by all of us. Feeding 55 of us wasn't an easy task particularly when a few of them only informed you of certain dietary requirements at the last minute! On a personal note I was impressed with the speed with which our dinner was served and the boys in the group loved the quantity! Please pass my thanks on to Val, Lynne and your team, I will definitely recommend Poppy Caterers to other divisions within Coloplast should they find themselves in York in the future. Thanks once again.”
