Presenting our top pick for summer - the Pineapple Gimlet! 🍍 Crafted with sage-infused gin and blended with fresh pineapple juice, this cocktail is shaken over ice to achieve a silky texture. Topped off with a hint of bitters and garnished with a fresh sage leaf. It doesn't get more refreshing than this.

The recent restoration project has preserved the heritage of the buildings, now known as the Julia and Hans Rausing Campus, which have been home to this prestigious art school since 1769. The revamped campus now offers state-of-the-art facilities for the next generation of artists to thrive.

Canapés are a key element of a fantastic wedding. They establish the mood for the evening to come and create excitement for the dinner ahead. 💍
⁠
At Rocket, we take canapés very seriously. One of the best things about them is that you can have them anywhere and any time through Rocket's "little sibling," — and there are often so many additional occasions that precede or take place during the wedding weekend, whether it's an engagement party, bridal luncheon, or drinks for the out-of-towners.

The luxury canapé delivery service is perfect for those little occasions when you want delicious and elegant finger food without full event catering (save that for the big day!)⁠

We are so proud and delighted to have won the Best Catering Company COVID-19 Response Award last week at the London Venue & Catering Awards 2021! 🎉 ⁠ ⁠ When the world came to a standstill in March 2020 and the future of events was uncertain, the Rocket team managed to work together and keep the kitchens busy by providing over 25,000 meals to NHS frontliners at @royalmarsden Hospitals Sutton and Chelsea through the #FuelforNHSHeroes initiative, albeit 2 metres apart and behind masks. ⁠ ⁠ The team was also very eager to be proactive to keep the Rocket brand alive and so @acookstour was born out of Rocket's sheer entrepreneurial spirit, becoming a hugely successful lockdown endeavour that continues today. Our virtual cook-alongs celebrating culinary hotspots from around the world won us loyal customers who joined us for bi-monthly events, and we're so excited to host a new winter season premiering in January (visit our new website to book now!) ⁠ ⁠ What a wonderful acknowledgement this has been for everyone at Rocket HQ and a huge thank you to everyone who has continued to support and believe in us through the years! 🥂

How different life looked 1 year ago. Nonetheless we feel so grateful to have such wonderful memories to look back on last autumn. Our Rocket Private View event at the @nhm_venuehire was just the most perfect evening of stunning food, beautiful drinks from @gusbourne_wine and @drinksfusion and of course, delightful company. Not to mention the @nhm_wpy exhibition we viewed exclusively, an experience enhanced by our friends @lavendergreenflowers and @wise_productions 💚 Watch and relive a little event fantasy with us in this top notch video by @cordeauxfilm. #WeMakeEvents #TheRocketWay
