Testimonials

NHS Doctor's Retirement Dinner Testimonial

Just wanted to let you know what a fantastic time we had on Saturday 27th for the above retirement dinner.

It went really well and John had a fabulous send off, Everyone enjoyed it .

Your staff were great, they could not have been more helpful . The serving staff worked really hard , I think there were only 3 of them but they got everyone on a table served very quickly So no one really had to wait long for food. Lots of people have e mailed me to say it was great and that the food was very tasty . Puddings especially were excellent !

Thanks for a great evening.

Birthday Party - Lesley Harry

Thank you so much for organising the party for me on Saturday, I have left a review on the Hotel’s google review site but if you want me to do a review elsewhere please let me know.

What can I say, it is the first time I have been to the Spread Eagle for any event so I was a little worried about how things would go. I did not need to worry as everything I asked for was provided. The event went very well, a very family orientated party just as I had spoken with you about. Richard and his team were lovely and the food excellent, you were right, there was a bit too much so lots was left over. Dave Cato was lovely, not as I had imagined or how we had spoken! A very professional set up and a very nice person. Everyone were very impressed with the venue and the party so a very big thank you.

Erica, you were professional, helpful and very easy to talk with, thank you.
I am not sure when my next little ‘gathering’ will take place but I will have no hesitation in recommending you and your team.

95th Birthday Celebration

I want to thank you and all your team for enabling us to celebrate my mother's 95th birthday in a really special way, in the AJR room last Sunday.

Prior to the day, you made the whole booking/payment process a smooth and user-friendly experience - thank you!

On the day itself, we had a truly wonderful time and my mother enjoyed the whole afternoon.

The Afternoon Tea was superb - a great selection of sandwiches, cakes, scones etc, lovely room, and the service from Lynne really was outstanding. She supplied us with the food, accompanied by a constant stream of different teas, & coffee in a very friendly, helpful & efficient manner. Nothing was too much trouble. Lynne was an absolute star!

In addition we and mum spent Sunday night in rooms 35 & 36, followed by breakfast in the morning. Again this was superb.

Pease pass on my sincere thanks to your team, and thank you also, to you Erica - you are a star too!
