OUR BIGGEST EVER EVENT TO DATE!
The exciting afternoon kicked off with our team of wait staff delivering glasses of fizz and handcrafted canapés to 200 guests at the initial welcome ceremony.
Once the main gates were opened, we the thousands with arrival drinks from two separate rustic stations as well as serving up a delicious Afternoon Tea box and selection of cold beverages from three large catering tents.
Spread across the grounds, three live music acts entertained the crowds as they wondered through the enchanting gardens on what was to be one of the hottest, most glorious days of the year.
With so many guests in attendance, we had to ensure the food would be administered effectively, presented beautifully and of course that it tasted delicious!
We opted for rustic, wooden displays to compliment the menu and surroundings and set up three identical food stations inside three separate stretch tents to reduce queuing. Two drinks stations were also set-up within each tent.
Our staff-served Afternoon Tea boxes consisted of freshly prepared salad pots, seeded roll, classic pork pie or cheese and onion quiche, a delicious Victoria sponge cake and traditional scone with clotted cream and jam. We also catered to all dietary requirements thanks to our homemade falafel and rich Vegan/GF chocolate brownie.
Our clients, like us, were passionate about sustainability meaning we sourced fully recyclable and compostable packaging for our spread and had a dedicated team collecting and separating rubbish throughout the event.
We had so many compliments over the food, service, set-up and atmosphere from both the guests in attendance and our clients and we had so much fun planning and managing such a fabulous event!
We also want to say a huge thanks to all of the fantastic local, suppliers we hired in to help create one very special CDC event to remember.
