My final large event for summer 2024, complete. From prep work through to set up, here’s a quick snippet from this lovely job I catered for on Saturday. A house party for 70 guests at a beautiful home in Bracklesham bay, one I’d been admiring throughout the build so it was extra special to visit in person too!
My client asked for a grazing table, with some additional salads and homemade dip to make it more substantial, followed by some sweet treats to finish.
Now for a quiet week to enjoy the final part of the school holidays with my kids, and then focus my energy on pushing forward with our own building works 👷♀️🏡⚒️ Hopefully a few months to go!
One of my favourite simple summer suppers. Good quality heritage tomatoes with a simple marinade topped with Burrata & lots of black pepper. Served with homemade pesto and warm flatbreads. Best enjoyed outside in the balmy evening air. Delicious!
✨ What a day ✨
Yesterday I had the pleasure of catering for Emma & Ed’s wedding celebration, held at @elessaryurtvillage in Chichester. A grazing table spread for 130 people, set up outside in the beautiful woodland surroundings of Elessar. There were so many wonderful comments about the food; the selection, colour & presentation and what a good choice it was for a relaxed wedding lunch. It seemed to compliment the vibe for the bride & grooms’ special day 💛
Congratulations Emma & Ed, thank you for asking me to be part of your day… what a great crowd too!
Finally, I couldn’t have done this without the help of @almerrett and @davignon30 - lots of work goes on either side of the set up and these two made it possible 🙏🏼

A great way to kick start some summer jobs I have lined up, catering for @chichesternetball ‘s end of season party. What an amazing club they are! A classic grazing table for 60 people, with some tweaks thrown in to cater for a variety of ages and requirements, and it was lovely to get some great feedback afterwards.
I’m still limited with my availability due to the ongoing house reno, but it was lovely to dip my toes back in to what I do. I have a few more events lined up for the summer months, until I can officially start to cater again full time. Meanwhile, I may have some platters on offer shortly, so keep your eyes peeled 👀

Recent days…. A lovely, albeit gentle birthday following a horrid virus running through the family, but celebrated with things needed to replenish my cup. Family time, Kingley Vale hike, baking, beautiful gifts, including the much anticipated @georginahayden Greekish (more on this to come). Exciting house site visits, camper van rides & pizza up at the trundle, camper van break down 🛠️ and rescue from our team of friends 🙌🏼. Tennis, flowers, beautiful sunshine & garden time and then a birthday dinner in the garden with friends. More celebrations to come once Mr G&F is fully well, plus a house move this coming weekend, so busy life days! More ‘official’ Gather & Feast posts to follow soon 🌞

A dull grey Monday morning in February had me feeling all bright, colourful & inspired thanks to an inbox full of new enquiries. Some repeat customers and some new, for lovely gatherings in the Spring & Summer. After a very quiet and looong January, I’m now feel ready for 2024 💥 #letsgatherandfeast #gatherandfeast #chichester #chichesterfood #chichestercatering #brackleshambay #thewitterings #emsworth #westsussex #westsussexfood #eastwittering #westwittering
On Friday evening I returned to the @oxmarketcontemporary gallery in Chichester to cater for a Christmas party hosted by Donna Ockenden. I loved creating a festive spread in this beautiful space with a few tweaks to my usual grazing table to make it easier for guests to enjoy the food whilst chatting and drinking. The dessert platters were also a popular hit!
Whilst I’m still pausing the majority of smaller catering jobs until further notice due to our home renovation, I can hire a kitchen for larger events, so do contact me if you have a gathering in mind. I have some space available now before Christmas due to some other work being cancelled, so let’s talk if you have any last minute catering needs!
