I just wanted thank the whole team at The Ferry House for all your hard work on Saturday. I had an amazing time and the venue looked beautiful. All our guests commented on the lovely location and the amazing food. Please pass on our compliments to the Chef for such outstanding food, and also to all of your team for such excellent, friendly service during the evening, which made a perfect 50th birthday!
