Happy Christmas everyone!! 🎄✨️🎄✨️

Just a couple of functions still to do but whilst I have time, I just wanted to thank those who have supported me throughout this year.

There's been many highs, from reaching 20 YEARS in business, seeing my lovely clients again & again some in the 7th year, meeting new ones, being a FINALIST as a Solo Entrepreneur in the Elite Awards Carlisle, & catering in some of the finest country houses in N.Cumbria.

THANKYOU for your support & I look forward to showing you NEW MENUS & IDEAS in 2025

Also to mention, without the help of my team I couldn't do what I do so I'll raise a glass 🍷to Janet, Naomi, Catherine, Amy, Alison, Charlotte & Natalie & say another thankyou 🩷

I really do value your business & friendships & wish you the best this holiday season!
