A DIFFERENT KIND OF FEAST!

As some of you may know, Jules and Tracy used to run a Theatre Company, namely Dramatic Productions which kept going for 12 years! Due to the onset of Covid, we sadly had to stop our productions, which by then had been in full swing as the Rep Company of the Tivoli! As a result, we started up Calamity Cooks and enjoyed 2 years of tremendous fun and success catering for so many lovely, loyal and fabulous customers!

We are still catering now, but more so for functions, events, private parties, and anything anyone asks us to do! Please do contact us for any events you may have coming up, big or small.

IN OTHER NEWS .... we are BACK to the Stage! We are doing our first production at the Allendale Centre on April 6th - at 1pm.
Last Tango in Little Grimley, a short (one-act), fast paced comedy, starting at 1pm and runs for approximately 40 minutes.
We do hope you might be able to come! Please see details below. We hope this will be the first of many more productions to come at the Allendale Centre!

I hope everyone at Wimborne Rugby Club / Wimborne RFC Mini & Youth has a great time at the party tonight. Enjoy your buffet too, especially the cakes! Bon Appetit.

Jules and I would like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who has supported Calamity Cooks, and ordered our weekend specials over the past two years. We won't be able to offer these for a while as the demand for event catering is keeping us very busy. We’re still here for you though...

Do you have a special celebration or event coming up?

Perhaps a birthday, wedding, or christening? Maybe a dinner party or business lunch. Calamity Cooks can take the effort out of any event, be it in your own home, event space or venue.

As a small company we can tailor our catering to your exact requirements and budget. We can deliver cold buffets or hot meals ready for you to heat up with clear instructions.

If you wish to sit back and enjoy your guest’s company, we can also be there to serve food and drinks, and take care of the clearing away.

Get in touch. We’d love to hear from you!
