Theo & Jossie walked into our kitchen & everything just clicked, they are really into food & wanted to create a menu that reflected their tastes & the season. We put together a menu together & all got totally over excited about the whole thing. It was fun. They liked how we did things, we liked them & their approach, its how it should be. Keep things simple, but always delicious & interesting.
Read MoreBecca and Will’s wedding was our first foray into the Somerley Woodland Wedding scene and what a beautiful portrait they painted. The day was blisteringly hot, so the dappled, leaf sheltered shade was greatly appreciated. For their August wedding we served Sicilian caponata with burrata, followed by bulgur and spinach pilaf, labneh, harissa roast tomatoes and caramelised onions. A glimpse into the increasingly, all vegetarian menus we are asked to supply these days.
Read MoreHattie and James sealed the knot at Newhouse, on the edge of the New Forest, a beautiful Jacobean pile, extensive, rambling grounds and a charming lake to calm the senses. We’ve done quite a few events for Hattie’s family over the years, so nailing down the menu was great fun.
And ‘great fun’ certainly sums up the happy couple and the wedding and festivities they produced. They were a dream to work with, full of ideas, a few uncertainties, but a wealth of goodwill and love they wanted to share with everyone. All of which made our job very simple and hugely enjoyable.
Read MoreAbi and Chris chose the winning combination of May and St Giles House for their wedding and we think the stunning pictures taken by Robin Goodlad certainly reflect the love and joy of the occasion. The house manages to convey both stateliness and informality at the same time, leaving the guests to bask in the attention lavished on them by out lovely, smiling staff. Asparagus and lamb were on the menu, a great duet, chosen by the ultimate winning combination, Abi and Chris.
Read MoreRuth and Matt had a genuinely laid back and seriously home made wedding at Stowford Manor Farm in North Wiltshire, they knew what they wanted and it was a fantastic combination of really good well cooked food alongside some surprising and challenging dishes to keep the interest and drama going. We also met the rather wonderful Mr Phil, their photographer, who catalogued the occasion with some very splendid and memorable images.
