     Dearest Philni, Armand and the Vita Nova Catering Team, To say “thank you” simply would not do it justice for how appreciative and grateful we are for everything that you and your team did for us. We will never have the right words but please know that the Vita Nova team mean more than anything to us. You preformed miracles with absolutely nothing and took everything in your stride when we threw about a million obstacles your way! The food was delicious, the presentation was immaculate, you worked incredibly hard and went above and beyond what you were hired to do. You are truly the most amazing people and we are so lucky to have met you and had you part of our team to make our day as perfect as it was. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that any of that was possible and not only did you achieve my expectations, but you far surpassed them. It was all more than I could have ever imagined so, thank you! WOW WOW WOW! I am so blown away and that CAKE too! The best cake I think I have ever eaten - it was consumed at pretty much ever meal once the day was over - I could not believe that we actually managed to finish it all but that just shows how truly delicious is was. Thank you also for making the most beautiful variety of dinner options for us. I know it was just burgers but they were AMAZING and exactly what Sam wanted and the chips…gosh, everything about the day was delicious. The Vita Nova team took such a bit weight off our shoulders and we are so incredibly grateful. As soon as the photos come back from our photographer, I will be sure to send on all the gorgeous ones of the food from the day. We are so blown away still and amazed at what you were able to achieve with what little you had - THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! For everything. Sending you all our love and wishing you and your amazing team all the best for the future. We hope to run into you and see you all soon. Kind regards, Mr and Mrs Hancock

The Head Chef generally controls the whole kitchen, from managing kitchen staff and controlling kitchen costs to liaising with suppliers and creating the menus. Depending on the restaurant and the individual themselves, much like CEO’s of the corporate world the Head Chef will often leave much of the day-to-day running of the kitchen to individuals lower down the hierarchy, such as the Sous Chef.
