We are writing to say thank you so much for making our wedding on the 18th of May 2012 so special!
Your whole team made our day so memorable and we appreciate this so much. Thank you to all the chefs,
floor staff and Angela!
The service was absolutely fantastic and professional all round! All our guests commented that the food
was amazing, and the best they have had at a wedding! The view and restaurant set up was also gorgeous,
and we were fortunate to have such lovely weather that day.
All these elements combined with Angela’s help before the day itself made the day just magical and perfect.
Angela you are an asset to Pilu Restaurant! Each time we spoke or met you were so pleasant, helpful,

Firstly, I just wanted to say a heart-felt thank you to you and all the wonderful team at Pilu - David and I
had just the BEST day on the 8th, and everything was just perfect. I can not tell you enough how many great
comments from friends and family we have received on the venue/food/ambience - you all truly made our
wedding the most special and lovely day, which we will remember always. Friends and I are craving the food
again already, so will be making a group booking for the degustation very soon!
Pilu was perfect! There was absolutely nothing with which I could have found fault. The staff were outstanding most efficient, smiling and courteous. So flexible on the day when things went off schedule.
Excellent wines - thank you Lara. The food was fabulous - thank you chefs.
Thank you for your relaxed, no stress approach - greatly appreciated and so appropriate.
Pilu made our very special day so much more special.
