Suzan's food is delicious, innovative and of the highest standard, as it the service she provides. I can't recommend Croxfords highly enough. Denise Barkley

Being an Oxfordshire local - I am extremely pleased Croxford's has been nominated for this award. I don't know a more deserving, hardworking lady who still manages to keep her cool and FAB sense of humour under pressure. I have been to many of the Fabulous functions she has catered for and enjoyed all of her food - especially her "lamb balls!!" Good luck Girl Friend ! If you haven't eaten Suzanne's food you haven' lived!! "Beautyful Feet Sam"

Suzan Allan catered my mother's 40th birthday party for over 100 guests. What a fab night it was and alot of that was down to Croxford's input.

Just returned from Jakarta to find a CROXFORDS delivery in my fridge; fish pie and lemon tart - yummy! Rock on Suzan!!!!!

Croxford provided the food at my wedding. They were wonderful, and i cannot recommend them strongly enough. the food is simply divine, and Suzan was very attentive to our wishes and also to our budget. The service was flawless and most importantly Suzan is a great person to work with.

Croxfords catered my wedding; they set up a buffet in my marquee. Now the word buffet makes you think of cold quiche. BUT what we actually got was so good, so inventive, worked so well and had been planned with such thought, that we simply couldn't have found something better. We received many complements from the guests, e.g. the best food I ever ate a wedding etc. Suzan is a great person to have on your side at an event like this too. Highly recommended.

Wonderful, already overweight, but can't resist this womans food!

Susan was recommended for my mother's funeral and I have to say she was like a breath of fresh of air. Her compassion, discretion and absolute professionalism in handling an emotionally charged event was something to behold. My mother, we all agreed, would have been proud of the spread laid before us - THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU SUSAN!

Suzan Allan is a master planner. She helped us with flowers, venues, bar service, catering equipment supplies and of course, her wonderful food. She recommended other local suppliers who all helped make our day so special. The service she provides is second to none and she leaves no stone unturned in making sure the event is perfect from start to finish - just like Susan, from head to toe!

This woman is indeed the best thing since sliced bread. Her larger than life personality is certainly depicted in her food! I have had the pleasure of attending several of the functions which she has catered and can recommend her PIGS IN BLANKETS.....don't you dare call 'em sausage rolls!!!!!!!

The best thing about my sister's 50th birthday, apart from my delightful sister of course, was the most fantastic food I have ever eaten; supplied by CROXFORD'S and, of course, Suzan herself, who made the party the most memorable occassion.

Since moving across the pond last year the thing we miss most about Blighty is Croxford's delectable delights. Suzan needs to be boxed up and sent to all corners of the world!!!

Stunning food, supercalifraglistitic calories!! Once tasted never forgotten. Why can't ALL food be like this? Go Suzan, go Suzan, you deserve to win DAAAARLING!!!!!!!!!!

This lady catered my sister's surprise 50th birthday party. Everybody raved about her food and she made my sister's night really special. This is a woman of many talents. She should win, she brings SO much happiness to so many people; she is a true professional!!!

I contacted Croxfords on behalf of my brother who was holding a very special themed event. Suzan immediately assisted with every aspect of the event and, to be honest, was a life saver...my goodness this lady knows how to throw a party. Thoroughly recommended and I KNOW that many of our guests have taken her details and rung me for her number since the event! I wish her all the luck and I will definitely be using her services again. FABULOUS!

Suzan and her team work so hard to make the occassion, no matter what it is, absolutely perfect. Its her attention to detail and hard work that makes everything so wonderful!!

Superb food, attention to detail, service, and what's more the backroom staff really do make the difference!!!!

Suzan Allan and her team have catered for me many times over the past five years. Her menus are always outstanding and put together with, what we now call, that 'Croxford's Panache'! Her canapes are to die for; sizzled scallops on a china spoon, smoked salmon profiteroles, baby Yorkshire puddings stuffed with beef (heaven), salmon in sticky pomegranate and honey (to die for) - the list is endless. If you have never tried her food, its a crime. She deserves to win for the fact that she has re-invented good old-fashioned cooking, with a modern twist, on a grand scale. Her timing is immaculate as is her quick repartee! This womanl was just made for TV, so get her on QUICK!!!

We as a family hav attended several functions where Croxfords have supplid the catering, we then asked Suzan to cater for my mums suprise 50th birthday, WOW, the food was fantastic not only for adults but children allike, brilliant, fun, exciting, and imaginative food to suit and cater for all ages, Suzan really helped mums night go with out a hitch, she gave us advice, support and help to make the party a huge success, and still delivered the very best, we now are waiting for our next celebration as an excuse to use Croxfords again.

I first came across Suzan Allan when she catered a wedding at Yarnton Manor two years ago. It was the most delicious wedding meal I had ever tasted. I have since asked her to cater for two other events I am hosting. She takes very special care to make sure her clients get exactly what they want. All my guests were raving about her.

Excellent products and service. Individuality for numbers of people.

Consistently amazing catering. We have sampled Croxford's food many times and are always excited to hear when Suzan and her team are the caterers as the food is always incredible. A retirement party, 70th Birthday, Sports Dinner Presentation Evening, 40th Birthday, BBQ, Christening Party - the results have always been brilliant but every time different. The food is full of imagination and truly delicious. I quite happily recommend Croxford's whenever asked for suggestions for caterers.

Well, what can i say!!! Suzan catered for my mum's 50th party, and WOW, she is the most tallented person i have ever had the pleasure of meeting: fantastic lady, fantastic food! Gordon Ramsay, watch out for this lady, as Suzan would knock your socks off!!

Suzan Allan is sensational - when Belina Carlisle had a hit with "Heaven is a place aclled earth" she obviosuly hadn't tasted CROXFORD'S cuisine! Suzan liaised with my husband last June, hatching a surprise party for my 50th birthday!! The buffet she provided, even for those of my guests, who you could say, are a 'tad fussy' was exceptional. I can still taste the lemon and raspberry torte which was my birthday cake. Suzan deserves to win as she really has brightened so many peoples lives in this valley; in fact, no party is complete without her service!!

Suzan's delicious food, her efficiency and her wonderful personality were a wow with us and our guests at our 70th birthday party last year. So we have booked her for our wedding next year. She is the best!

Croxfords catered my 30th party and the food was superb! Even the fussiest eater there enjoyed every dish, and complimented the food. And in the bargain you get to know Suzan, a larger than life lady with sparkling wit and great humour. She will definitely make your party/event stand out from the others!

I will tell you exactly what makes Croxfords so special, SUSAN! The food supplied by Susan and her fantastic team for my wedding reception was simply divine and scrummy! Cant wait till my 40th to get her cooking for me again.

sensational food, fabulous service, and a personality you will never forget! good luck suzan.

Suzan Allan catered a Murder Mystery party for us which was themed in Marrakesh - we all came dressed accordingly and Suzan made her own 'theatrical' entrance with her fantastic food. Who else do you know who pickles her own turnips, olives, peppers, lemons, cucumbers and more, all for authenticity when catering a show-stopping Arabesque banquet? Her use of aromatic flavourings, sublety of combinations, using good fresh, local ingredients and the sheer magic with which she conjures up her undeniable feasts have made her a winner for us!! Watch out for her sharp wit too - priceless!

Suzan and her team provided a fantastic buffet lunch with BBQ for my 40th birthday. We had 80 guests, including lots of children and our friends STILL talk about the wonderful party! Suzan's attention to detail is one of her greatest talents and she really had thought of everything - even letting the children toast marshmallows on the BBQ at the end. The food was absolutely delicious - a huge selection of salads to keep everyone happy - and exceptionally reasonable for the outstanding quality. Everything we had hoped for and much more. She deserves to win!

The food quality and value for money is outstanding but add to this great service and Susan Allan's wicked sense of humour and you would not go anywhere else.

suzan was our saviour when it came to my wedding cake. Our wedding was traditional but i wanted something diffrent but in keeping with the theme. She made a beautiful 3 Tier chocolate cake and with a small sample of fabric from the bridesmaid dress decorated it with fresh flowers in the exact colour. The cake was served with a fresh fruit coulis. It was perfect My 90 yr old Granny down to our 1 year old daughter loved it. Friends still say how fab the cake was and my husband and i agree 100%.

suzan made the most delicious meringues for my birthday,that went down a treat. she also made my sister a fabulous cake for her 21st birthday,that was gracefully decorated with iced flowers and writing,pure perfection! suzan caters an exceptional service for occasions,and specialises in making the client's day personal, memorable and unique. thank you for everything suzan.

Not only a great chef, but a wonderful person as well. Terrific chocolate cake. Maffo

Suzan's done wonderful parties for us since May 2003 - she's an amazing cook, everything was utterly delicious and lots of our guests went on to ask her to do their 50th's/wedding anniversaries/Christmas parties, etc. It's the best kind of "homecooking", but to a standard and organisation that most of us only dream of! Thanks, Suzan! Sheila and Richard

This woman is a wonder worker!! She helped me plan my mum's surprise party, she made platters full of canapes, that everyone loved. she has also made several birthday cakes, from sponge, to walnut, to pure chocolate. they were simply divine! thanks for making my mum's day so special and such a suprise!! georgia 15, ella 11

Croxfords cuisine, once tasted never forgotten, Croxfords made for me simply the best birthday cake i have ever tasted. Suzan will go down as a cooking legend.

Suzan is a true can-do champion. Passion personified!

We were recommended to try Croxfords for our wedding catering after spending weeks trying to find someone who would be able to provide exciting and appealing food within our budget. We didn't have a massive budget and we half expected a firm 'no' when we phoned. Sue met us in a local pub and bought us a bottle of champagne and then brought out a few'ideas'. The menu she suggested was fantastic and we couldn't believe that outside catering could be so amazing. From that day, Sue made sure that everything was taken care of and we felt confident to leave it all to her. On our wedding day we had a buffet style meal and all the guests were raving about the food - some of our friends went back for thirds! Even to this day people mention the food at our wedding and that was two years ago! I have recommnended Croxfords to a number of people as I am confident they will receive a fantastic service and wonderful food - a rareity nowadays. Croxford should win the award for their innovative use of ingredients and beatuifully prepared food and Sue would also make a wonderful Fanny Craddock!!!

I have used Croxfords 3 times over the last 7 months and they are wonderful, the food is amazing, Suzan and her team are THE BEST!!! Have recommended them several times and will continue to do so as they are FANTASTIC.

Suzan is a voluptuous, chocolate cake making goddess. She presented me with a dream of a chocolate cake adorned with twelve red, beautiful rosebuds and trailing ivy. I want lots more birthdays, but only with Suzan's chocolate cake to accompany them!

Croxfords popped into my world when they did the catering for my 40th bithday party. Suzan managed to put together a fab menu which just seemed to work. I was particulary impressed that she listened to my ideas and was able to inject her own flair and produce something really special. Suzan has subsequently done a great deal of catering for me, always managing to produce great food, sourced from our local suppliers, and with that real Suzan touch. She has a real gift and a great passion for what she does ... Go girl!!

What makes this place special? Why Suzan of course! She has a real passion for culinary excellence and the talent and skill to deliver it every time in a truly personal way. Outstanding!

Croxfords provided the celebration cake for our school's first Open Day. We are an S.E.B.D. School and work with children in residential care. The pupils thought the cake was fantastic. It really was a masterpiece as Suzan recreated our logo on a cake that looked and tasted superb. It was truly amazing. Thank you Suzan and Good Luck!!

It's about time! Croxfords should have been nominated last year. Suzan is a DOMESTIC GODDESS, the quality of her food is second to none and the service provided by her team is outstanding. She truly deserves to win. GOOD LUCK!!

Suzan has catered for me at least six times. I would never go anywhere else. Every detail of her work is faultless. SUPERB!!!

Croxford have provided us with very high quality catering on a number of occasions and it has always been consistently good. The food and cocktails were fantastic and we would not hesitate to use Croxfords again or recommend them to others.

suzan and her team did all of the catering for my wedding in early september 06. the food was outstanding and delicious. with attention to detail and great profesionalism. the guests who attended my wedding still comment today on what a fabulous meal they had. i myself have been to numerous functions where suzan has supplied the catering and i have enjoyed every mouthful. i recomend her american chocolate wedding cake absolutely heavenly. karen caddick steeple aston

Suzan Allan and her team were recommended to us by my daughter for our wedding reception 3 weeks ago. We were very impressed from the first time we met Suzan to discuss what we would like; her attention to the tiniest detail, her flexibility about the menu, her suggestions for the little extras that made everything so special, filled us with confidence that this was going to be a wedding reception with a difference! We were not disappointed. All the guests commented on the imaginative and delicious food, and Suzan and her team were clapped and cheered before they left. They are all professional, helpful, friendly people, and provided the extra 'pzazz' that helped to make 'our day' fantastic.

Croxfords is not a takeaway but a superb outside catering business run by Suzan Allan and her team. The food is second to none and Suzan is absolutely brilliant; she's professional, fun, helpful to a fault - you couldn't ask for more. So if you need an event catering for, Suzan is THE person to call.

I have been very fortunate to have known Suzan for the past 18 years. In that time Suzan has spoiled me rotten with her outstanding catering skills making my birthday parties the most memorable events, not only for me, but all of my guests. But it's not just my bithdays. Suzan is the most fantastic and skilled bon viveur I have had the good fortune to meet. If you have had the honour to experience her generous hospitality, or the inspired foresight to commission her services, you will have taken a trip to gastronomic paradise!

It was only recently that I met Susan and her team and I was so impressed - she's like a breath of fresh air! We got on like a house on fire, she has a fabulous personality as well as being totally and utterly professional. The food was superb, fresh and beautifully presented. Her staff were friendly and efficient. NO hesitation what so ever in recommending Croxfords to anyone - Good luck!!

Suzan Allan IS a food hero! Her meticulous attention to detail and desire to produce the most beautiful, delicious food she possibly can has earned her a reputation that is second to none. Sourcing local, fresh ingredients is her passion, and creating amazing, beautiful food is her mission. Suzan and her team of professionals have catered every event I have organised for the last few years and I NEVER have any complaints-OR any leftovers!!!! Her food is created with love and passion and served with flair and theatrical aplomb-she IS the best!

I work for Susan Allan of Croxfords on a part-time basis. She runs an outside catering business. Croxford’s was formed four years ago when they were asked to provide food for a seminar at which HRH The Princess Royal was guest of honour. Croxford's are perfectionists with an almost Victorian attitude to handmade food. Croxford's use ingredients that are locally sourced, fresh, and of the very best quality.
