I would just like to thank you and your team for making Christmas and my 40th Birthday a most memorable occasion. Everyone had the most fabulous time and the food and overall service could not be faulted. Having such a diverse list of guests aging from 5yrs to 94 yrs of age was always going to be a tall order to cater for but you all did it with both flair and ultimate consideration for all of my invited guests. I too feel that I have made good friends in Tavy and at Browns Hotel and look forward to spending many more visits with you in the coming years.

Once again thank you so much. It meant so much to me that the event was such a success.

I hope you had a great new year and all the best for 2011.

Regards,
 
Chris Little
