A magical birthday celebration hosted in a private West Sussex residence, beautifully transformed into an enchanted forest for an unforgettable evening.
 
We were thrilled to work with incredible suppliers to bring this vision to life. The night began with canapés and English sparkling wine, while wowed guests with their signature cocktails like the Fizz de Fleur Figue and Lingonberry Cosmo. A gypsy band wandered through the room, setting a whimsical tone as everyone mingled.
 
Dinner was a true highlight, featuring a starter of wonky vegetables from , a hearty loin of Aynhoe Park venison for the main course, and a luscious black forest cherry dessert. Later in the evening, guests enjoyed late-night bites and bowl food, including truffle & mushroom risotto, mini burgers, and cheese toasties—perfect for fueling the festivities ahead.
 
The party truly came alive when the dance floor was revealed. The energy was electric with a DJ spinning tunes and a saxophonist weaving through the crowd. The open bar kept the celebratory spirit going with their after-dinner cocktails, including a Woodland Old Fashioned, Spiced Orange Espresso Martini, and Bramble Negronis.

Earlier this year, we treated our guests to a full day of hospitality at the Tate Modern.

We started with a delightful breakfast spread of pastries, setting the tone for the day. While the Thames provided a picturesque backdrop, our lunchtime menu offered an enticing array of bridge rolls, both savoury and sweet tarts, and colourful salads.

As the evening drew near, we wrapped up with an elegant three-course dinner, beginning with a canapé and drinks reception in the iconic Turbine Hall. This allowed our guests to relax and reflect on the day's conference in a truly inspiring atmosphere.

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.

This week, the have officially reopened after a major renovation. We had the pleasure of catering the celebrations, starting with a canapé reception in the beautifully restored Cast Corridor while dinner featured our delicious spring-summer dishes, such as the Wye Valley Asparagus and Brixham Hake. Guests were then treated to a sweet surprise in the iconic Dunard Fund Life Drawing Studio.

🎨 Did you know that the RA Schools is the oldest fine art school in the UK, located in ' Burlington House since the 1870s? 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.

Special thanks to for the beautiful floral arrangements. 🌸
