MEAT! We post so much about how much we love seasonal veg (really really a lot) that we’ve had a few enquiries believe we’re just veggie caterers recently. I think they might not be looking very closely but about time we give this guy a shout out. We ALWAYS source our meat from the best, - from happy animals in the West Country treated with care and respect, into delicious meat with no waste. Part of the sunflower kitchen family, he also has a shop in Castle Cary and does super fancy stuff with string 🇫🇷

Thanks butcher x

Throwback to Loulou and Rob’s fantastic day in September! The rain held off (at least for the wedding day, I think we’re both still getting over that pack down) and they had transformed Loulou’s parents’ garden into a hell of a party venue. So into the decor on this one - more pinatas please!!!

Our Sam looking unusually angelic with some banging crostini - ricotta, roasted grapes and crispy sage. These pics making me feel a little bit warmer on this frozen week!

Been very quiet on here but that’s cause we’ve been busy having so much fun in this tiny poorly lit kitchen! Have a smattering of really bad kitchen pics from our first two week takeover at . There were unpictured arrival treats and some little pate de fruit to sweeten up paying the bill. Who says we don’t treat ya?!

Thank you everyone who came! Thanks everyone who supports us doing what we do! A lovely winter treat. Keep ya eyes peeled for more pop ups 👀

Managed to squeeze in a couple of tastings this weekend before borrowing this week! It always feels a bit wrong feeding people summery salads under a very gloomy November sky but it’s so much fun meeting our couples and starting planning together!

In the pics: dips & sticks on the table to start
salad with roasted peppers and hazelnut dukkah
bbq lamb with chimichurri
butter beans, charred courgette & roasted fennel on labneh
more bbq courgette under a blanket of feta snow with basil, mint and pine nuts
Cauli salad with giant couscous, pickled apricots and a zhoug slaw in the background 💥

Asado! I know, you’re sick of hearing about the pop up so now for something completely different. This beaut piece of kit, our asado BBQ, is our absolute fave and we want to take it on more adventures next summer. Whole lambs on the cross, big pieces of smoky pork belly, reverse seared slabs of rump steak, brined thighs or local fennel, tomatoes, courgettes or any other showstopping veg.

2025 summer dates are filling up already so if you’re thinking about it, give us an excuse to get the barbie on.

No you can’t eat your pudding until we’ve made some content! One of the hardships of being either of our other halves is having to put up with recipe testing. This guy was made to eat two panna cottas last night just to compare a minor difference in texture ! The one we didn’t film actually won, with the slight edge on smoothness and wobbliness.

This little cutie will be up for grabs in a couple of weeks with marsala poached pears should you not want pistachio tiramisu. I know, tough decisions. Still a handful of tables available, get in touch to book x

Bosh! Leek and dill fritters, here dressed as my wfh brunch with garlic yog, shatta and sumac. They’re up for grabs at our pop up next week (handful of tables available on Thurs and Fri) as part of a sharing picky starter, but they’d also make a sexy little canapé. Fresh, salty from a little smattering of feta, crispy on the outside and yielding and soft in the middle. Yum x

Pistachio tiramisu. Just when you thought tiramisu couldn’t get any sexier. You’ve got the opportunity to eat this in the somerset area on November 7th, 8th & 9th at our pop up at Matt’s kitchen in Bruton x deets are in our highlights x DM button is just right there to book in x go on x

Canapés! Don’t worry, we know exactly what’s happened. You’ve had your first Christmas party invitations, and you’ve realised you’ve not had those guys round for ages and it’s definitely your turn. But you just don’t have the time to pull out all the stops? Don’t worry, we do.

We’ve got Christmas availability for drinks parties, buffets, bowl food, drop offs, from little to large we can help x

Canapés and buffet for 75… 4 women in 4 hours, whacked it out the park. *Obviously* didn’t get any pics of the nibbles but mini feta & spinach borek with the smokiest matbucha featured, crab, fennel and dill crostini and the OG sesame crackers with squash purée, homemade goats curd and crispy sage all went down a treat.

Buffet was harissa roasted chicken, batata harra, cauli & chickpea salad with the best garlic yog and shatta on top, tabbouleh, baba and za’atar flatbreads. Pudding buffet was lemon possets in the lemon, rose, raspberry and pistach pavs and some salted caramel chocolate brownies so gooey they were verging on the obscene. Excuse the village hall lighting! Think clients would find it a bit much if we started bringing our own mood lighting 🕯️

We’ve got some winter availability and we love a village hall party. Get in touch x

A breezy stunner of a day for Harry and Adam on Saturday for our last wedding of the season! Glastonbury tor was sparkling in the sunshine and their guests enjoyed their fully veggie menu so much we’ve already had messages asking for recipes. Absolutely lovely one to round off another hella busy summer of weddings 🌞

You can catch us flipping burgs at this Sunday, which would be an excellent opportunity to talk to us about Christmas parties, NYE plans or bag a seat for our pop up at next month.

Onwards and upwards, bookings for next summer in full swing. Get in touch x

Very exciting announcement!! We’ve got a two week takeover at Matt’s Kitchen in Bruton in November, where we’ll be hunkering down and warming you all up with some mediterranean sunshine. Such a treat to have a kitchen with walls. The first week’s menu is influenced by the southern and eastern med - the Levant, North Africa, Greece & Turkey, while week 2 will have flavours from the northern and western shores - France, Italy and Spain. Completely proudly inauthentic, just inspired by our love of the med, it’s cultures and cuisines. Mostly lemons and olive oil.

We’re taking a £10 deposit per head to secure a booking, and it is very very cosy in there so expecting spots to disappear quick. Get in touch asap to get ya bum on a seat. We can’t wait! Big ups Matt for letting us borrow your restaurant, you’re a real one.

Due to the nature of the event & kitchen, we will be able to cater for vegetarians (with pre warning), but no other dietary requirements.

Can’t wait to see yas x

Thursday saw us returning to Harewood Forest for number 2 outta 3 of our big week in Hampshire. Becky and Louis’ guests enjoyed earl grey brined BBQ chicken, Lavs’ festival style porchetta and some delicious salads -

Crispy roast potatoes with oregano and green olives.
Charred corn fattoush with confit garlic pitta.
Harissa roasted butternut squash, whipped feta, rocket & drizzled garlic.

Last pic is the veggie option of bbq marinaded aub, caramelised onions and butters with a tommy salsa thing.

Dreamy! We’re in the full swing of things over here so please forgive us if emails take a while to get to - Monday is admin day I promise x

And saying that we are already thinking about autumn and winter fun - some excellent things in the pipeline but get in touch if you wanna eat some yummy food. It’s what we do.

Dreamy setting in harewood forest yesterday for Jo & Joe’s big day. Sharing starters followed by porchetta, crispy tatties and homemade mayo, coupla salads including amazing leaves and their baby summer leeks we BBQ’d into smoky velvety deliciousness.
Mint julep peaches with smashed up meringues and whipped cream to finish.

We don’t do it for weddings of ~80, and it is a hell of a lotta washing up, but using our vintage mismatched china makes everything look so beautiful! Who needs a table runner when you’ve got 19th century Imari plates. It also gives Lavs a very good excuse to continue hoarding and buying the 100s of bits of china we’ve got ✌️ if you want pretty plates, give us a shout. Xo

Just a few nice veg pics from last nights tasting… another fully veggie wedding we’ve got planned with Harry and Adam in October. We love catering fully veggie or vegan events! It’s so much fun making veg the centre of attention and making even the most reluctant carnivores admit that yes, lentils can be sexy! Our fave was the chargrilled aub with a super rich tahini sauce and a sumac onion & herb salad 💥

We are pretty slam dunked all summer now but have a couple of little gaps in June, so if you’re thinking about that party…

Further proof that olive oil makes everything better. This super rich choccy mousse will be up for grabs at our pop up at the end of the month and it is a stone cold banger. Booking essential, get in touch x

Hope you’ve all had a delicious sunshiney chocolatey weekend 🌞 Some of Friday’s hen do - in a caprese, patatas bravas and focaccia stole the show for us carby girls. A delightful sparkly evening 🪩
