Weddings, parties, and events
We have over 17 years of experience catering large & small events. Whether you’re planning a wedding feast or a private party in your own home for a few friends, we can make sure your day is original and unforgettable.
We can cater for weddings and celebrations of up to 50 guests, private dinner parties, or staycations. Fully staffed or supply only.
Naturally, we can provide lots of delicious food and serve drinks you can provide, working closely with you to devise an original menu to surprise and delight you and your guests — maybe platters of mixed mezzes to serve with drinks or a banquet of lavish sharing boards, spiced tagines, multi-coloured salads and pyramids of jewelled, fragranced rice.
We pride ourselves on sourcing most of our ingredients from local suppliers:
Charles Dowding
The Thoroughly Wild Meat Company
Bridport Fishmongers
Lievito Bakery
La Chasse
Levant’s kitchen garden
We can also organise every aspect of your event from sign-posting locations & styling. As well as arranging everything you’ll need on the day — furniture, crockery, glasses.
Waiting and prep staff: £14 per hour (£16 per hour after midnight).
Front of House & chef: £20 per hour.
You will need staff for approximately 6 hours (possibly more if you want them to stay longer).
The number of staff required depends on the number of guests, and whether it is a buffet or plated up menu, which will require more staff. We would anticipate you needing about 10+ staff including a Front of House to oversee the day and make sure everything is served and cleared away promptly.
We can also organise the hire of all crockery, cutlery, glasses, linen and any other equipment that may be required. We can provide a quote from one of the reliable companies that we use.
If you wish to go ahead, we will arrange a meeting and site visit with you.
We will require a 40% deposit on confirmation, 60% one month before your event with confirmation of the final numbers.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any further queries, we would be more than happy to discuss any requirements that you have.
