A few recent thank you notes, we really appreciate them ❤️

Teriyaki chicken poke bowls with colours of the rainbow veg…we provided poke bowls for the leavers picnic at Cheltenham College this year…but we’re also very happy to provide champagne cream teas, beautiful salads or a selection of sandwiches to rival The Ritz (well almost!).

We took our new 100 portion paella dish out for its first outing over the Bank Holiday weekend. The lovely folk at offered to be guinea pigs and it was a huge success!

The first quarter of the year has been busy with private dinners, retreats, corporate cookery days & canape events….sometimes it’s just too busy to take photos for social media so it’s lovely to be able to share thank you notes 💕

It’s been a summer of parties! Our last marquee event for this was for a South African host who wanted us to include his homemade biltong into the canapés…so we did on the quail’s eggs with a mushroom duxelle 😃. Other canapés on the night included seared tuna and prawn ceviche.

A lovely note to end the week….if you’re having a party or special occasion do get in touch… we have a crack team here to help you from party planning to waitresses and bar staff…and f course the cooking!

It’s been a busy summer, keep forgetting / too busy to take any photos…! From weddings to parties, cookery classes to private dining, buffet drop offs to week long retreat cheffing….next year’s diary is starting to fill up with weddings, festivals, retreats…but do get touch if we can help.

In this pic is a layered chocolate mousse cake…fancy it.?!

We’re very fortunate to work with the most lovely couples and their families. Our team often tell us what a great time they’ve had behind the scenes at weddings, how lovely the guests are, how beautiful the brides look…they call this work! It’s a real privilege to be asked to be a part of people’s special day, thank you ❤️

Po***ck on a bed of samphire with a tomato & anchovy sauce with tapenade.

Just one of the dishes that’s been going out at events recently.

All of fish is sourced from our favourite fish shop in Cirencester , the quality is always amazing and the staff brilliant and helpful.

This is how we roll on our children’s cookery classes….learning how to chop safely, cooking with a variety of ingredients, whilst sometimes getting a little messy..

Each session the kids take home a meal for four people, a main & pud.

In addition to the sessions we run in Cirencester, we also run sessions in the beautiful greenhouse at the Miserden Estate.

A Middle Eastern feast…we always try to think out of the box and served Turkish chicken…a bit like coronation chicken but with natural yoghurt & Middle Eastern spices, pomegranate fattoush, tabbouleh (made using buckwheat so it was suitable for gluten free guests), baba ghanoush, flatbreads, falafels, raspberry & almond crumble cake, Middle Eastern spiced gluten free rocky road.

Client feedback…”Thank you for such delicious food. I have been receiving great feedback and the band said it was the best food they’ve been served at a gig!

“Having you there made all the difference, I shall be recommending you to everyone.”

I might be biased but I have the best waitresses, they wear a branded apron well!

Does your child fancy enhancing their cooking repertoire for the skills section of their Duke of Edinburgh’s award with us…?

For the bronze award they’ll spend a total of nine hours (one three hour session a month for three months) in our brand new kitchen in Tetbury learning knife skills, bread, pastry, fish and meat, as well as food safety and allergen awareness. In between kitchen sessions, we’ll send them home with a recipe file to practice at home!

£180.00 per child. We aim to work in small groups. Drop us a message for more info or to arrange suitable dates.
