We make sure that every event and partnership we undertake is unique both creatively and operationally, so there is often not one set answer to your question. If you have a specific query that isn't covered below, please get in touch with our team.
FAQ
How do you work?
Once you’ve sent an enquiry, one of our event managers will be in touch to understand the occasion before putting together a proposal and quote. We’ll then arrange a call to talk you through the menu and costs, and invite you to a tasting where it suits the event. Next, we’ll visit the venue with you to plan the space and the details of the day. When you’re happy to go ahead, we’ll send over a deposit invoice and contract, and from there we take care of everything: the planning, the schedule and the team, through to arriving on site and running the event until the last guest leaves.
What type of events do you do?
We create events of every scale and style, from intimate dinners for a handful of guests to receptions for several hundred. Our clients include fashion houses, galleries, brands and private clients, and we regularly cater for product launches, private views, client dinners, fundraising galas, weddings and private celebrations. Menus range from breakfasts and afternoon teas to canapé receptions, bowl food, food stations and seated dinners, each written for the occasion. Whatever the event, the same care applies: seasonal food and drink, a team who know the venue, and every detail considered.
Why do you want to know my budget?
Because every event we create is bespoke, your budget helps us shape a proposal that gives you the very best for what you’d like to spend. It tells us where to focus: the menu, the drinks, the styling or the size of the team. That way, the first proposal you see is one that works, rather than one that needs paring back. Our quotes include everything the event needs, so there are no surprises later. We’ll always be open with you about what is possible, and where your budget will go furthest.
What can I expect working with you?
You’ll work with one event manager from your first enquiry to the end of the evening. They will know your event, your venue and your guests as well as you do. Every menu is written for you, built around the season and the makers we work with, and every detail is planned with the same care, from the flow of the evening to the temperature of the wine. On the day, our team arrive knowing exactly what is needed: knowledgeable, discreet and quietly in control, so you can be a guest at your own event. Afterwards, we’ll be in touch for your thoughts, and we’ll keep a record of what you loved so the next event builds on the last.
Where does your produce come from?
We build every menu around what is at its seasonal best, and much of it comes from growers, fishermen, winemakers and artisans we’ve worked with for many years. From Cornish day-boat fish to Lake District beef, we choose quality over quantity, favouring British produce and independent producers wherever we can. Our wine lists follow the same thinking, with bottles chosen for the people and places behind them. It means every dish tells a story of the season and of the makers behind it, and our team are always glad to share it with your guests.
How sustainable are your events?
Sustainability sits at the heart of how we work, and has done for many years. We have held ISO 14001 for environmental management and ISO 20121 for sustainable event management since 2023, and we are working towards B Corp certification in 2028. Every event is measured with our Sustainability Scorecard, which gives each menu a carbon rating so we can guide you towards lower-impact choices without compromising the food. Our menus are seasonal and British-led, with plant-based dishes on every one. Our kitchen produces very little waste: anything still usable is put to good use, and the rest is recycled. We are also an accredited Living Wage employer, because looking after our people matters as much as looking after the planet.
What is included in the quote?
Our quotes include everything the event needs, so there are no surprises later. Alongside the food and drink, we take care of everything around the table: the styling, the tableware and equipment, and the team who serve it, from chefs and front of house to the event manager who runs the evening. We also include the practical details that make an event flow, such as cloakroom and drop tables, and we work closely with your florists, production team and venue so that every part feels considered. Each quote is itemised and written for your event, so you can see exactly where your budget goes.
Can we come for a tasting?
Yes. For larger events, we’d love to welcome you to our kitchen in Battersea for a tasting. It’s a chance to try the menu, meet the chefs and talk through any changes, so that every dish is exactly right before the day. Your event manager will share the full details when arranging a time. Please note that a fee applies if you decide not to go ahead with us.
Do you travel outside of London?
Yes. While most of our events take place in London, we regularly travel further afield, from Blenheim Palace to the Kinross House in Scotland, and we would be glad to discuss events beyond the UK. Wherever the event, we bring the same team, the same standards and the same care, and we plan every detail of the journey, from the kitchen set-up to the timings on the day. Travel and accommodation for the team are included in your quote, so you can see the full cost from the start.
Can you cater for dietary requirements?
Yes, always. Every menu includes vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes, each designed to be as good as the rest and never an afterthought. Allergens are recorded on every recipe, so our chefs and front-of-house team know exactly what is in each dish. We confirm dietary requirements with you before the event, prepare and label those dishes separately in the kitchen, and brief the whole team on them before service. Because our own chefs cook every event, even a late request on the night can be met calmly, without any fuss for you or your guest.
