What an honour and privilege it was to support the Sky Arts Awards at the iconic Roundhouse last month! As self-proclaimed creative caterers, a brief that celebrates arts and creativity brings our team pure joy.

The inaugural Sky Arts Awards, hosted by Joe Lycett, showcased the very best of British and Irish arts and culture. Our chefs rose to the occasion, crafting a menu that was itself a work of art.

Some of our favourites included...

JFC (Japanese Fried Chicken):
Crispy fried chicken with chilli crisp, miso emulsion, and furikake, served on vinyl records with custom Sky Arts stickers.

'Pumpkin Spice Arancini':
Vegan arancini presented in multi-coloured pencil boxes

Summer Squash 99: A playful twist on the classic 99 ice cream, served in colourful "paint pots".

Bangin' Beets:
A starter of smoked and roasted beetroot, golden beetroot gel, seeded tuile, black garlic puree, pickled apple, and candied seeds all served on an actual canvas, with beetroot leaf oil in a paint pot for guests to add their artistic touch.

The evening was graced by performances from The Darkness, TikTok sensation Ren, and poet Lemn Sissay. A never-before-seen rock collaboration between AC/DC's Brian Johnson and guitarist Slash left the audience in awe.

As caterers who pride ourselves on creativity, we absolutely loved being let loose with such a creative brief. It was a true privilege to contribute our culinary artistry to this celebration of the arts, approaching each dish as a canvas to create flavours and presentations that would surprise, delight, and inspire.

When your eyes whisper "dessert" but your taste buds embark on a savoury adventure..!

These little pink pretenders may look like sweet afternoon treats, but they're hiding a deliciously sophisticated secret: these are beetroot macarons cradling creamy goats cheese, with fresh thyme and cider vinegar-soaked beetroot.

Tart, tangy, savoury triumphs.

We love to bring fun to the dining room with tasty trickery and edible deception? 💫

We love to experiment with food, and that includes embracing cutting edge technology - not just to cook and present but also to help us avoid waste and the transportation of ingredients.

So for a while now we’ve been growing all our own micro-herbs at our HQ in Battersea, or in Garton’s Garden as we call it (because of our address) using an innovative EvoGro cabinet. This uses advanced horticultural LED lighting to create optimal conditions for growth all year round, with perfectly consistent results every time, ensuring every crop is full of flavour.

No herbicides or pesticides are used, we only grow what we need so there is zero waste, and being on-site, there are no food miles involved – a truly innovative and sustainable system which provides us with the herbs and salads in our dishes.

We think the cabinet itself is also a thing of beauty to look at, and the lighting adds another element to the ambience of our tasting room. Better still, when we’re hosting tastings we’ve been able to have chefs cutting and picking herbs in front of guests and adding them as the finishing touch to the dish in front of them - you can’t get any fresher than that, from soil to plate in seconds!

"We all really enjoyed creating the menu for this event. For the money shot, we created 'The Coin' branded triple chocolate crypto dessert and a playful nod to the 'bitcoin'. It looked incredible but I think it tasted even better." - Jimmy Garcia
