We often say how lucky we are to work with such amazing couples... this is really quite an understatement. We are so hugely privileged to work with the absolute best couples there is. It has meant a lot to us in a lot of ways that are hard to explain to be able to get back to catering at weddings these past few weeks. Although smaller in size these celebrations have been nothing less than perfect.

Thank you for this wonderful review and for just being the amazing human beings you are Molly and Rich. You're venue is so beautiful Grand Get-Togethers and I'm sure this year will bring so many wonderful things for you as Mr & Mrs!

Molly & Rich: "Wow - what incredible wedding food!!!! We originally asked Blues Catering to provide our wedding breakfast and canapés as we loved the idea of sharing platters using our own home reared and sourced meats. Nothing was too much trouble and they were happy to use lamb from our farm, quail eggs, pigeon and venison for our canapés. The menu was perfect and tailored to suit us. Although the size of the celebration was hugely scaled down due to the restrictions nothing was too much hassle for Morgan, Kate and the team. We were competently looked after for the whole day and everyone was incredibly friendly and professional. The food was AMAZING! Every guest has commented that the food was the best wedding food they have ever tasted and we couldn't agree more. Thank you once again. We will definitely be using you in the near future. Mr & Mrs Sadler"

Whoever said chicken at a wedding has to be boring... Smoked & grilled, chermoula marinade with padron peppers & BBQ gem lettuce. Can be added with other meats to our Foodie sharing boards. Yum.

18/02/2021

NEARLY THERE...

We're keeping all fingers and toes crossed that we can get back to do tastings in the coming weeks for all our wonderfully patient couples and clients... we're waiting with baited breath for the next government announcement very very soon.

HERE WE ARE!!

As we're not getting to meet any lovely couples or attend any weddings at the moment we thought we'd post a picture of us, so you know who you're talking to.

Myself and Morgan have been running our company for 6 years, catering the most amazing weddings, a few festivals and parties along the way too.

We're still busy busy here at our HQ planning new weddings for 2022 and 2023, shuffling a few Spring weddings around, food trialling with some lovely local produce, organising all our things ready for the world reopening.

So please feel free to drop us a line if there's anything you want you need, or just for a little natter.

Happy New Year!

It's perhaps not quite the start to the year we'd hoped for but it can only get better from here on out. We looking forward to seeing people in real life soon and get back to cooking some feasts to remember and serving up some cracking wedding food.

Lots of love to all our beautiful couples and amazing supplier and venue friends out there. x

p.s here are some mini trio of dessert yummies we made up recently, ...now all we need to do is figure out the technology for digital tastings.

28/12/2020

We hope everyone has had an amazing Christmas. Ours has been full of crisp days out, overindulging, resting and family time. Lots to be thankful for.

We hope all our wonderful couples, clients and supplier friends have enjoyed the festive break. We're looking forward to a 2021 with a touch more normality and many more celebrations.

p.s. Here's a little sneaky peek at some of our foodie feast boards for our 2021 celebrations.....
