The catering was fantastic. Your catering team moved the delegates through the lunch sessions quickly and easily. No one felt rushed, there was ample seating and the food itself was a triumph. I could not have been more pleased with it.
The little touches were evident at all times. The fruit platter in the morning, the clearly labelled allergens at lunchtime, the bara brith and Welsh cakes in the afternoon. I loved how the front desk was manned and how, at the end of a long day, taxis were ordered quickly for delegates.
Thank you very much for making a busy and sometimes stressful day a pleasure."
