We Do LOVE A GREAT VENUE

Many venues we’ve catered at, appearing as pop up restaurants, are never to be repeated - a cliff top on the Jurassic coast, ancient oak forest on the chalk downs, cement factory in Oxfordshire, private gardens in the Cathedral Close.  

We cater for weddings and parties at stately homes, private venues, in marquees across Wiltshire, Dorset, Somerset and Hampshire, and are always open to new ideas.

HERE ARE THE VENUES we’ve worked with for several years, we would highly recommend, and where we are preferred caterers

Featured
ST GILES HOUSE
ST GILES HOUSE

St Giles House is an exquisite country house in Wimborne St Giles, Dorset - about half an hour west of Salisbury, which has been lovingly restored by the current Lord and lady Shaftesbury, Nick and Dinah Ashley-Cooper.  The house resonates romance and grandeur and sits in an extensive estate which is a dream to share for any dream occasion, be it a wedding or party.

 

ABBOTS COURT
ABBOTS COURT

Abbots Court is situated in the loveliest part of Dorset, ergo one of the loveliest places in England. The house itself has a warm welcome in every colourful room and the walled garden and woodlands surrounding it are equally exquisite. A fantastic spot for a joyous celebration, you won’t want to leave.

SMEDMORE HOUSE
SMEDMORE HOUSE

Smedmore House is one of Dorset’s finest Georgian Manor Houses, available for holidays, weekends, house parties, and of course weddings.  Get me in there, it’s comfortable, quiet and convivial, with a history stretching back to the fourteenth century, probably further than that. 

SOMERLEY HOUSE & WOODLAND
SOMERLEY HOUSE & WOODLAND

Somerley House is a stunning Georgian stately home on the Hampshire/Dorset border with a range of beautiful spaces available for your wedding celebration. We have catered for some unique weddings at both Somerley House and Somerley Woodland.

BAKE BARN
BAKE BARN

We were introduced to Bake Barn in Wiltshire some time ago now by Lord Alastair Margadale, owner of the Fonthill Estate who very kindly drove us around his grounds pointing out spectacularly delightful spaces where guests could party through until the early hours. 

HALE PARK
HALE PARK

I have a soft spot for Hale Park and for Sloane and Candida who live there. A friend of mine lived in the gatehouse at the end of their drive, so we often wandered down the avenue of limes towards the house, envious of the massive, hanging balls of mistletoe high up and unreachable in the trees.

BOWERCHALKE BARN
BOWERCHALKE BARN

Bowerchalke Barn is a stunning 16th century thatched threshing barn set in the Wiltshire Chalke Valley countryside. Surrounded by breath taking views and full of rustic features, it’s a unique venue in an ideal setting for a wedding or a party.

BARFORD PARK
BARFORD PARK

Barford Park Farm, sits out on the road between Downton and Alderbury. It’s a working farm, run by the legendary Minette Batters, who in her spare time works as deputy president of the NFU. It’s a really fun, versatile venue in the heart of farming land.
