We actually sat down with our friends. Beca arrived at four, there was a smell of lamb by six, and by midnight there was no sign she had ever been in the kitchen, apart from a note about the oven door.
Reviews
What people say.
Six reviews, including the four-star one about a travel charge.
Six of them, one with four stars.
Sample reviews on a demonstration site. Surnames left off at the reviewers' request.
My father's eightieth, with three diets and a toddler. Nobody felt catered for separately. It was simply dinner, and the soft version looked just as good on the plate as everyone else's.
Tomos came for six weeks after my hip operation, paid for by my children. My fridge has never been so organised, and I learned that I like fennel. He wrote the reheating times in big letters without being asked.
I gave my husband a pasta lesson for his birthday. He makes it on Sundays now, and it is nearly as good as hers. She sharpened all our knives before she went, and now I am frightened of them.
Superb dinner for twelve in a Black Mountains cottage, on an oven that did not deserve it. Four stars only because the travel charge was more than I had worked out. It was on the quote, and I had not read it properly, to be fair.
Thirty of us at one table in my parents' barn, with bowls being passed down. People who had never met were arguing about who got the last potato. It is the part of our wedding everybody talks about.
About the four stars
James had a point about the mileage.
It was on the quote, as he says, but it was the last line in small type. Now the travel charge goes next to the total on the first email, with the number of miles and how we worked it out, so you cannot miss it.
