Throughout the event staff are on hand to serve, clear and help wherever necessary and always with a smile. And there’s no clearing up for you. We will leave your kitchen spotless, and even ensure there are a few bottles of wine on hand for you to help yourself to at the end of the night!

We cover all dietary requirements and ensure they are catered for without compromising any flavour. Just let us know what you need, and we will design the menus around it.
