"see" the way we see it – our vision

"Too few of us, perhaps, feel that the breaking of bread, the sharing of salt, the common dipping into one bowl, mean more then the satisfaction of a need."   Yuan Mei. Chinese poet

our food | our drink | green events | our staff | our events

Great food begins with the best ingredients. Great events begin with understanding exactly what a customer needs & desires & meeting or exceeding those needs on every level.

Easy? We think there's more to it than that.

our food

We believe we have a responsibility to our customers & the planet, to use seasonal, traceable, organic & local foods. We are committed to wild food, sustainable or organically farmed fish, rare breed meat, artisanal produce & heritage varieties of fruit & veg from our wonderful community of suppliers.

We are registered to the Soil Association's foodservice & catering code of practice, so you know that if we say it's organic, it is organic. We use produce that encourages biodiversity, agricultural & culinary tradition, has a lower impact on the environment and pound for pound contains more nutrients. (sniff out some past menus in our smell section)

With our handmade, bespoke ethos and a touch of alchemy, we weave these ingredients into menus (even healthy options), which are always as indulgent and pleasing to the eye as they are delicious. Have a taste of our innovative & stylish presentation.

our drink

We have one of the UK's finest selections of organic & biodynamic wines & beers available. You & your guests can indulge with a clear conscience because they have less impact on the environment and you. We will help you match your drinks to enhance your menus, mix the most virginal or hedonistic cocktails as well as organise event licenses.

green events

As well as working with the best of British seasonal, wild, foraged and organic food & drink; the fish & seafood we use is all caught ethically from sustainable fisheries or farmed organically.

We can serve your guests filtered tap water in beautiful recycled glass bottles. We recycle our waste including food, which goes to make compost for community gardening projects.

We have a fantastic range of disposable serving-ware made from bamboo, fsc sustainable wood & high-end plastics made from corn. We can source you locally produced organic flowers, soy or beeswax lead-free birthday candles and even use biodegradable straws.

At the end of the day we can ferry your guests home in a fleet of hybrid cars.

our staff

Attractive, well-presented, informed and charming, our hand-picked and in-house trained staff are chosen for their professionalism, attention to detail and strong service ethic.

our events

They say that "God is in the detail", nowhere more so than when entertaining guests for business or pleasure. Every menu we create is bespoke & we are full of bright ideas. We have a to-die-for address-book of entertainers, florists, stylists and photographers. In fact anyone you could possibly need, we can bring to the party. We also work with a stunning range of venues that we can bring the party to. We can manage your event seamlessly, on the other hand, we can simply deliver your food & you can serve yourselves.

We take your brief and work within your budget to produce a creative and successful event that meets your needs every time. So you and your guests feel completely indulged – rare indeed!
