A rather cool but dry afternoon watching our sponsor player Chloe Grisedale for Penrith AFC Ladies today. Great match and impressive win for Penrith against Preston - well done ladies 👏

Busy day for the team today, bereavement refreshments for two families, a small delivered tea to Greystoke and a larger gathering at the well presented Cliburn Village Hall, a short distance from the Eden Valley Crematorium.

It a ‘wrap’ for team Applegarth for 2024.

Yesterday we provided catering for a local company for their Christmas Party at Penrith Rugby Club. A repeat client, a great bunch who are very appreciative of what we provide. 3 course Christmas lunch.

Today, a finger buffet for a staff party on Gilwilly for a group whose caterer had cancelled - pleased to come to the rescue.

The team are looking forward to some downtime and wishing all our customers a very merry Christmas and prosperous New Year.

Cheers from Applegarth Foods 🍏🌲🍏

The team had another little find this weekend at the beautifully renovated parish hall in Hunsonby.

We had the pleasure of providing a three course meal for a young lady’s 21st birthday consisting of an anti-pasti sharing plattter, followed by a choice of beef olives or salmon fillet with a chile and hollandaise sauce and for dessert, an Applegarth favourite, sticky toffee pudding or vanilla cheesecake with berry compote.

Sadly no photographs of the beautifully decorated candlelit hall and tables only a couple of snapshots of starter and dessert but I do have a daytime picture of the hall on a previous visit.

Thank you to my team last night who worked extremely hard to carry out the service we did, you are truly appreciated.

These lovely little renovated village halls are really very pretty and make exceptional party venue’s for all occasions.

Today the team travelled to the picturesque village of Bassenthwaite, to provide bereavement refreshments for a local family. A new venue for Applegarth Foods but a lovely building for this local community.
Thank you to F & W Green Funeral Directors LTD and my team for providing today’s service, and Bassenthwaite Parish, we hope to return to this lovely setting in the very near future. 🍏

We had a request this week to provide a breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea box suitable for a journey on the British Pullman. I hope my customer and their companions enjoyed their refreshments while they travelled in style around the beautiful Scottish countryside.
Everyday is different, and it’s what I love about being a bespoke company.
Thank you for choosing Applegarth Foods 🍏

A stunning view across to Criffel was the setting for Ben and Emma’s wedding and despite a damp start the sunshine eventually appeared.
Canapés of honey sausages, sticky chicken, mediterranean tartlets, crostini with sun dried tomato and satay chicken were offered. Guests were served starters, mains, an assiette of desserts followed by a cheeseboard and coffee. An evening finger food buffet finished the days celebrations.
Thank you to my team yesterday who worked extremely hard, particularly given some of the challenges we faced but we did it as a team 🙏.

Wishing Ben and Emma all the very best for their future happiness x🍏x

Kirkby Thore, in the Eden Valley was the destination for the Applegarth team last night celebrating a Ruby Wedding anniversary. The day certainly improved after a very wet morning 💦 and guests managed to enjoy a rare outdoor garden party.
Cold meat, salmon, salads a selection of delicious desserts were available for guests 😋.

The team have covered some miles this week, travelling to Dalston at the start of the week for a two day corporate event, Borrowdale, Keswick for a 90th Birthday and Crosby Ravensworth for a funeral tea on Thursday.

Thank you to the many families for their custom this week and as always my team, (including Rachel missing from the photo).

What a busy week…..3 funerals in our local village halls, helping our local communities and multiple corporate lunches in the mix delivered to various locations in Penrith.

Thank you to Glyn Jones Funeral Directors of Appleby and Richardsons Funeral Directors of Penrith.

Special thanks to my dedicated team of helpers, who have worked extremely hard this week covering staff shortages and have kept up with the demand for cake and sandwiches.

Complements to our new meat supplier N J Dowding Ltd, Appleby. The Sausage Rolls have gone down really well, with some lovely feedback.

As caterers you would expect nothing less than glasses and bowls for our away day to Skipton. It was even commented upon by other passengers ! 🤣
Hope you have enjoyed your day Lorraine, our very own special lady who celebrates her birthday this coming week. Missing from the picture Sarah Harrison celebrating her Silver Wedding 🍾🥂 - next time.

The team have had a busy day and sadly there are no pictures, we were too busy ensuring we delivered our food service for today’s events.
Bereavement refreshments at Great Asby for a well known local lady at lunchtime followed by an afternoon tea at Tebay for a group of very delighted attendees.

Thank you all and to my team today who have worked really hard to fulfil our commitments.
