We really couldn’t fault you in any way, wed just like to thank all involved in the nights celebrations. Ive heard so many people raving about the food, staff and entertainment and well be sure to come again. I was even told by many members, how people thought it was the best run event weve had in many years.

DERBY HOCKEY CLUB, 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY
SLT are always very happy with their meetings with us. Great to have parking and the lunch is always fantastic. They have used Pride Park but they feel it works better with us and commented on the great variety of options for lunch.

There was lots of positive feedback from the delegates. They scored the location and food a combined score of 4.4 out of 5. The observation of myself, Nikki and Sarah was that it was a really successful event with great staff and food.

Food was “good”, “excellent” and even “awesome” – there were lots of comments throughout the 2 days about “it is nice not to have beige food or sandwiches”

Staff were great – on that note, a well-deserved thank you to yourself as well as Caroline, Nadina, Tyler, Chrissy plus the lady who helped with the AV (I didn’t catch her name unfortunately) for ensuring it was a great event.

Mickleover Football Club
Thank you all for a wonderful night. The Deaf awareness training worked as we have received a lot of positive feedback on how wonderful the staff were on the night, how friendly the staff were including the security staff, how lovely it was to see the staff on the dance floor along with us. The food was excellent, we even had Yvonne Cobb (from BBC Morning Live celebrity chef) complimenting on the food and said the food was full of flavour. I also must thank Tyler for her attention to the detail. Thank you once again for all your hard work and for working with us to produce a fabulous 35th anniversary for Communication Unlimited!

Communication Unlimited
The party was fantastic, and I have nothing but good feedback with regards all the staff members on duty that evening. They were all friendly & helpful and the service was excellent. The food was amazing, and I would like to say a big thank you to your catering team. We will be back!
