Drinks reception and
canapés
Start your event in style with a curated drinks reception, featuring chilled Prosecco, bottled beers, and handcrafted cocktails. Our canapés are made using locally sourced, fresh produce, with a carefully selected mix of hot and cold options inspired by the season. Each bite is designed to complement your drinks and elevate the guest experience from the very first moment.
A dining experience
to remember
Our seasonal menus are thoughtfully crafted using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, offering a perfect balance of flavour, presentation, and variety. Wedding couples are invited to a dedicated menu tasting ahead of their big day, where they can sample the dishes and wines they plan to serve, ensuring everything is just as they’d imagined. We also offer bespoke menu options, allowing you to tailor your meal to suit your tastes, dietary requirements, and the style of your celebration.
Informal dining
Impressive flavour
For a more relaxed style of dining, we offer a range of informal options designed to bring people together over great food. From sizzling BBQs to themed fusion buffets and beautifully styled dessert tables, these laid-back formats encourage a sociable, immersive guest experience. Whether you’re planning a summer celebration or simply want something a little different, our informal dining options deliver big on flavour, variety, and atmosphere.
Evening snacks and
lighter menu options
Keep the energy going with our late-night snacks and lighter catering options. Perfect for evening celebrations or events that run into the early hours, from gourmet toasties and mini sliders to elegant grazing boards and fresh seasonal bites, these flexible additions ensure your guests are well-fed without missing a moment of the fun. Ideal for winding down the evening or offering a light alternative to a full meal.
