We had the absolute pleasure of catering for a very special charity event at the weekend and we are pleased as punch at the outcome. They want to do it again!

We had license to create the menu from scratch, which was then sent to James at Woods Wines so that he could hand select some beautiful wines to pair with each course and MY WORD he did not disappoint.

We loved hand prepping this beaut of a menu including monkfish scampi, beef tenderloin and a fig and frangipani tart.

Did I also mention the brand new Orange and Passion Fruit caramel from Gorvett & Stone, another handcrafted product made for the Chiltern Centre? Available to purchase in store, proceeds to the Centre as well.

Huge thanks to the talented Ronni Allen photography for joining us for the evening!

Take a look!

Have you ever wondered about the faces behind Stephanie Emma Catering?

Well here they are, albeit hiding as usual!

From left to right Pat, Cheryl and Stephanie.

Pat is a fully qualified fabulous chef and also mother to these two ladies, which I think makes her ultimately responsible for pretty much everything 😜

Cheryl is often found keeping Steph’s cogs turning in the background, in the office but also out on site. She also manages events, organised marquees, flowers, entertainment, and so much more.

Stephanie, is simply the talent behind every morsel of delicious food the leaves her kitchen. Cooked and presented to perfection.

We just wanted to give a shout out to our Cornish cheesy friends The Cornish Cheese Company
They became great friends with Stephanie when she was living in Cornwall and are in fact a family business.
If you choose cheese for your party there’s a very high chance that this is where it came from 🧀

How do you like your Camembert?

We’ve been trying out a few winter recipes ready for the cold nights but you just can’t beat one of our baked Cornish Camembert’s with a glaze of honey and sprinkle of thyme springs 😍

Quick and easy only taking 10 minutes in the oven. Make sure to give us a tag or message if you give it a go 🧀

The food was tasty, well prepared and beautifully presented.
We and our guests enjoyed all the food.
