“The recent SATam Christmas Dinner was an outstanding evening. The food was excellent, both traditional and vegetarian, and the reception and service were as friendly and efficient as ever. On behalf of SATam, please pass my thanks to Liam, Francis and their respective teams.”
Jim McLean (SATam) – December 2018
“We had a great evening recently when 25 of us sat down to a delicious dinner. With a choice of 4 dishes per course everyone was able to select their own dish which naturally meant a lot of preparation for each person as we all had different dishes!. It was all beautifully presented and very very tasty!! Well done Liam and team. We were very ably served and looked after all evening by Francis and his very attentive staff. We shall be back and I shall be grateful if you will convey our thanks and congratulations to all those concerned on the night.”
