Private Hire Testimonials
Hello Clare, on behalf of my mum, brother and myself we wanted to say a big Thank You to The Engine Shed for hosting the Buffet for my Dads wake. We had so many comments on the excellent quality of the food and service received. It is a difficult time for anyone when losing a loved one, but we were so impressed by your service from start to finish, my Dad would have been thrilled.
Kind Regards Diane Cooper - December 2021
Dear Clare, thank you for your patience, guidance and general brilliance throughout the planning of this event. We saw The Engine Shed and just knew it was the perfect venue for Step into Strictly, then two years of tenacity and planning have finally come to fruition. Thank you, its been lovely working with you.
Nicki x - Yorkshire's Brain Tumour Charity - November 2021
I wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to you for the wonderful event on Sunday
We all had a wonderful day and the staff on the day were wonderful Emma in particular.
Dave was fabulous with a wonderful caring approach and attitude towards the whole task of PKU cooking and I cannot tell you how that made my day so much easier . The feedback I received from those who attended was one of positivity . The food in my opinion was lovely … crumble was lovely … just not good for my waistline … but hey that went years ago!! Heartfelt thanks to all those involved …. Maybe an annual thing with next years bigger and better !!
Thank you

Moto Hospitality - December 2019
I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you and also the team at The Engine Shed, everything went smoothly and everyone has said what a great time they had. Also a special thank you to the gentleman who was looking after us he was brilliant, I don’t know how he managed to survive the night he never stopped! If you could pass my thanks on that would be much appreciated. From the bar staff, staff waiting on the tables and the AMAZING DJ they were great. Its lovely to work with a company who are so professional and don’t mind all the challenges that organising a Christmas party can bring!
I hope you all manage to get a well-earned break
Wishing you a Merry Christmas
Kind Regards
Lynne Taylor - Express Group - December 2019
Just a short note to thank you and your team at The Engine Shed for your immense contribution in making Stuart’s service and celebration such a memorable and uplifting event for all his friends and family who attended.

Thank you.
Dougie Brown - December 2019
We’ve just lost the last of our visitors so before I crash out I wanted to send you a massive thank you Clare for all your help in putting on our 60th birthday party. You have been fantastic and definitely helped make the party go with a massive swing. Please please also send our thanks on to your wonderful team. The waitresses, barmen and everybody else were amazing, nothing was too much trouble and they definitely went that extra mile for us. We thanked as many people as we could before we left but please pass our thanks on to everyone in case we missed anyone (including the chefs as their food was delicious!) The feedback we have had from our friends today was fantastic, it wouldn’t surprise me if you have a fair few bookings for parties from friends in the future.
The Engine Shed is definitely ‘on the map!
Many thanks again
