What People are Saying

It was my husbands funeral and we arrived at the wake venue to find  the food was set out beautifully . The Food was amazingly  fresh , plentiful and very very tasty   And to my delight only a couple of sausages left at end of the day which is a sign of good food in my family . I would recommend lay and leave due to my experience of them so far and would definitely use them for future needs as prices were competitive and of good standard , I thank you for making our day with one less thing to worry about x

Hi Linda,
“I was so looking forward to the buffet and platters ordered for a 50th birthday party. Unfortunately, I had to cancel but I cannot thank Linda enough for her kind words and understanding. She refunded me in full even though I asked her to keep some back in lieu of the inconvenience etc.  It made my day to know that there are still some wonderful people around.  Would not hesitate to recommend Lay and Leave. Excellent service.”

I Just wanted to say a big “thank you”for the lovely buffet you made for my granddaughters baptism on 17th October.The food looked stunning and I had so many compliments from the guests- they absolutely loved it! The food was so fresh and so tasty – you could tell quality ingredients were used. I gave out your cards to some of my guests – I hope it brings in more orders for you!
I will definitely contact you again if I ever need a buffet in the future!

“Hi Linda
just a little note to say thank you so much for such a wonderful service provided last Saturday. The food and the way it was laid out in such a professional way was wonderful. The only problem we had was that it went so so quickly and we didn’t actually get to have too much ourselves. Even though we had the BBQ to follow people were taking so much from your platters that at the end of the evening there was absolutely nothing left!! All we can say is thank you so much and we will recommend you to everyone we know. I will be having my 60th in June next year and will have no hesitation in using you again. i will order more next time.
Love and thanks”
