What our clients say...

Thank you so much for the wonderful afternoon tea that you provided for us. Every one was very complimentary about the food especially the carrot cake. The staff were really helpful and kind it made such a difference to the afternoon.

We had a great day and our servers were fab. My guests commented on how attentive they were and they were very friendly and helpful. The food was also a great success and even though I over catered slightly, I’m glad I did because it was so delicious.

I used Hansons recently for an afternoon tea themed event for over 100 people and they delivered a perfect assortment of finger sandwiches, cupcakes and scones with clotted cream and jam. Well presented and delicious!! A very professional service from beginning to end.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to all who were involved in the catering for our engagement party yesterday. All of the food was excellent, beautifully prepared, very fresh and flavourful. Your staff on site were superb, efficient professional and friendly. Thank you so much for making the event a great success.
