CUSTOMER COMMENTS

Emma Watson

We came to your restaurant on Sunday (29th January) without a booking for my Father's 82nd Birthday.  After receiving many comments from my family I felt the need to say thank you for the service we received from Matthew and the waiters.  He made our day with you very special and we can't thank you enough for the help, manner and level of service we received from him.  Also a big thank you to your Kitchen Staff as the food was of very high standard and we loved spending the afternoon with you.  See you all very soon and keep up the good work.

Judith Cole

We had a lovely evening at South Causey on Saturday 21st January and special thanks must go to your staff who were very helpful, friendly and attentive and served us a really beautiful meal.  We will be back!

Joanna and Brian Laverick

On behalf of Brian and myself a belated thank you for arranging the 50th birthday party for our daughter Susan, at such short notice and at a very busy time of the year for all of you. Everyone enjoyed the food and the room was very “Christmassy”. It was a lovely family gathering and we all enjoyed ourselves. Thank you all again.

From Pat & Alan Simpson

My wife and I wish to send our thanks to you and your staff for the excellent service we received on the occasion of our Golden Wedding Anniversary on 30th December 2011.  From the time we booked the room to the end of the celebration the service was excellent and very friendly.  We would like to compliment the Chef on the high standard of the dishes served.  Everyone was very pleased with their meal!  We would like to congratulate John Paul and those who helped him on the standard of very friendly service which he gave often against a large background of chatter from the guests.  May we wish you all a peaceful and very prosperous New Year and hope to visit you soon!

From Alan Garden, Earl of Durham Lodge

It is with great pleasure that I am able to write this letter of thank you, to you both, for the wonderful experience everyone had at our recent Ladies Night.  This is a major event in any Freemason Lodges calendar, and from the moment we booked the night with yourselves, everyone made it an event to look forward to.  The ease in which you helped us with the tables settings, out lay, menu and arrivals, took a great, dare I say it, burden, of responsibility off our members.  Everyone whom attended commented on the wonderful facilities, welcome staff and excellent dining.  This helped us to achieve over £600 to go towards my chosen charity NE/MND Trust.

From Beamish Museum

We just wanted to say “Thank You” for a great night last Thursday at the Beamish Christmas Party.  Everybody said how great the food was and how friendly the staff were. A special thank you to clair for fielding all of the Friday afternoon phone calls. Thanks again from everybody at Beamish. (Received 17 December 2011)

From Audrey Owens and Friends

To everyone who made our xmas lunch, on Tuesday 13 December, such a lovely occasion. Everything was perfect, you even arranged a litter shower of snow for us. Thank You.

From E Worraee

A very big thank you to all the catering, bar and serving staff for their professionalism and courtesy on the cabaret night. The atmosphere and food was second to none. Many thanks again for a great time. (Recieved 4 December 2011)

From Gary Anderson

I am just writing to you to thank you for the wonderful service myself and guests received on Tuesday night.  We were welcomed by a charming man called Matthew who was at our service all night and made us all very welcome and nothing seemed to be a problem for him.  You have a fantastic place and the food was excellent.  We will be returning very soon and will be recommending you to many of our friends.  Keep up the good work and again thanks to Matthew and his team, 10 out of 10! (Received 1 December 2011)

From Suzanne Dawson

I had to express our gratitude to you and your fantastic members of staff for a fabulous evening on Saturday (26th November 2011).  I appreciate very much the way in which you dealt with all of our very specific requests and to make it a total surprise for our friends, Shaun and Melanie, they genuinely loved every minut and had completely no idea.  John Paul and Stephanie in particular were outstanding and please pass on my sentiments to them both.  Once again a massive thank you and we will be coming to visit for lunch in the near future.

From Gail Massey & John Owens

Just thought I'd drop you a line to say what a fantastic meal John and I had last night and also compliment the Head Waiter for his good manners and good service.  We were the last one's in the restaurant but there was no indication that he was wanting us to leave so he could get away for the night - nothing was a problem.  I'm a very fussy eater so it takes a lot to impress me but I can honestly say that it was the best meal I've had in a very long time!  Please pass our compliments on to the Chef of the evening!

From Hazel Riddle, Ewesley Road Methodist Church

On behalf of everyone at the Luncheon Club may I say thank you for making our visit to South Causey Inn such a pleasure.  The service and care shown to our elderly members was greatly appreciated and the menus served were delightful (6 October 2011)

From Dennis Laycock, Lanchester Tennis Club

On behalf of Lanchester Tennis Club, I would like to thank you and your staff for making our Centenary Dinner a great success!  The venue, food and drink were enjoyed by all who were there, and your staff provided a polite and efficient serivce.  (30th September 2011)

From Terry Ludbrook

I would like to send you a bit of feedback, I have only been to the pub twice on both occasions I feel the customer service I received from two young lads from waiting staff in particular was absolutely fantastic.  I did not get any of their names which a shame as I would liked to of named them in this email, tell your staff to keep up the good work.  I am really looking forward to my next visit. (27th June 2011)

Just wanted to thank you and your staff for helping to make our party a success.  Please pass on my thanks to Katie as she lookedafter us well, all the staff worked very hard and were always helpful and friendly.  The room looked beautiful and the food and service were excellent.  I would definitely recommend the South Causey to others and we intend to visit again.

Just a word or two to say thank you for what was to be a perfect day beginning, when you met us outside getting off the coach, and escorting us into the dining room which in its self was lovely.  The service from the staff, and the food they served us was highly praised.  We will be down soon, sooner if I win at Bingo!!

From Peter Butler

My family and I would like to thank you for a wonderful Christmas Day at your establishment.  We had a lovely meal and we never ate anything else that day as were all full.  Amy was so excited to see Santa and receive her lovely gift too, a piggy bank horse which Amy and her mum are going to have fun painting.  Please could you thank all your staff who were very helpful, friendly and polite towards our party.

Alan and I want to thank you all for helping to make our recent stay at the South Causey so nice.  The food, the service and the room were perfect.  Reaching the big 60 was a lot easier to deal with in such pleasant surroundings (the red wine did help a little).  This was our second stay and once again everything was perfect.

From Maureen, Maurice, Michelle & Amy Myers

I would just like to say a big thank you for my husband Maurice's 60th Party on Saturday 8th May.  The buffet was excellent and the room decorated lovely.  All the guests had a great night, and some of them who had never been before have said they will certainly be back for a meal in the future.  All the staff were very friendly and helpful making the night, a night to remember.  Once again a big thank you!

From Gwen & Ralph Dunton

Thank you and all your family so very, very much for helping to make our Diamond Wedding Day such a special occasion.  It was a glorious day in every way; the food, we didn't have one tiny grumble from the party, in fact, a unanimous opinion, excellent and in abundance.  It was superb!  Such friendly 'staff' and their service.  I hope you enjoyed the 'concert party' - what fun - but typical behaviour, can't take them anywhere!  Again, many thanks.

Thank you for my birthday presents and for giving me a lovely birthday, everyone enjoyed themselves and we had a lovely meal!

Just wanted to send a HUGE thank you from myself and my family for a wonderful couple of days at the South Causey Inn.  My Dad had a fantastic time and may have found a new hobby in Clay Pigeon Shooting.

Everything from start to finish was perfect, your help Susan, the rooms, the meal, the service (especially Chris) the bar staff, everything.  We will definitely be back in the near future, maybe with our new edition and definitely with our extended families.
