What We Do

Nothing is too much trouble

  • We do really good food, beautifully presented and served with a smile
  • We offer unlimited help throughout the planning stages, right through to the big day and can help you on all aspects of menu planning, etiquette, suppliers etc
  • We run the day, co-ordinate all the contractors, organise the best man (if he needs organising), Nothing is too much trouble. Imagine a hotel in your garden being run by staff that you’ve trained, that’s what you’ll get. If you want formality that fine, if you want a low key party with family and friends no problem. Whatever you want we’ll follow your instructions to the letter

We won’t let anything go wrong. We are only as good as our last job so we can’t afford to.

Before the Day

  • The marquee tends to go up early on in the week, which is great as it gives you time to make sure you are happy with everything.
  • Generally everything is finished by Thursday night (assuming a Saturday wedding) enabling you to make sure all the tables are where you want them.
  • The florist often comes in on the Friday and does the bulk of their work, often popping back on Saturday just to finish off once the tables are set
  • There should be a box or bag set out for each table containing place cards, favours, menus, table number or name etc etc. In fact anything that needs to go on a particular table.
  • The seating plan should be finished. A rough copy is needed for the kitchen with all the names and table number of anyone that’s ordered a special meal from kids to vegetarians to food allergies. This ensures that on the day the correct meals are sent out to the correct table and gives a smooth professional service.
  • If a hot meal has been booked the portable ovens etc will be delivered, set out and tested.


On the Day

  • We arrive, unload and set out our kitchen
  • All the linen is ironed on each table for a crisp, professional finish
  • The tables are set, place cards put out
  • The bar is set up, drinks are chilled
  • Wedding cake is set up at the last minute
  • We all get changed and await your arrival
If that all seems too easy, its because it is. We have had years and years of experience in getting it right.
We are organised, professional and we care.
