Testimonials

I have been to a lot of drinks parties in my time, but my sixtieth, done by Davina, beat them all ; the food was original and quite delicious, and the imaginative presentation exceeded anything I have seen before.

Davina provided the most scrumptious canapés for a charity garden party last year in Oxfordshire which everyone raved about so she was the obvious choice when we needed a caterer for a much more adventurous event last month, a hot supper for 100 in the ballroom of Stowell Park for the charity Hope and Homes for Children. She could not have been more helpful or charming, totally unflappable and with a bevy of polite young helpers to ensure the smooth running. What’s more the food was delicious, as we knew it would be. If you can book her you will be lucky. She will be in much demand.

Davina’s canapés are outstanding. Hugely professional with her team of friendly staff handing out beautifully presented plates of delicious food, in my experience Davina is the best in the business. Private Views have never tasted so good.

Thank you so much for all your hard work over the exhibition.  The food was totally delicious and beautifully presented (your trays were commented on a number of times!).  Your the staff were friendly and professional, and you organised everything beautifully!  I didn’t need to get involved at all which was just as I wanted it!  Thank you so very much, I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did, it was great having you around.

Oxleaze Barn is always thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Davina Longsdon Foods. Her canapés are exceptional and very distinctive – both creatively presented and seriously delicious. Both Davina and her staff are an asset to any event.

Davina Longsdon’s food is absolutely delicious and she is so adaptable and finds just the right recipes for whatever the event. Recently she has made a working lunch for me which consisted of unusual salads and a perfect chocolate tart, which I am quite sure clinched the deal. Then she made supper for 40 people to celebrate my birthday; yummy asparagus soup in bottles followed by coq au vin in bowls- couldn’t be better!

Davina has cooked for us for 4 years, during the Cheltenham Festival week . Her food is in a league of its own. Her broad bean scallop and pea Risotto was a winner . The puddings were light and I particularly liked the pear tarte Tintin and the Apple mousse. All done without any fuss or bother I would recommend her to anyone.

Davina's attention to detail is second to none. Our drinks party was at Christmas. Davina invented wonderful innovative canapés which were both delicious and stylish. More importantly the guests just loved the food. They wouldn't go home! Everything was made so easy for me and the staff were delightful.
