This was one of my favourite bars at G&Ts wedding a week ago. Bar cleverly made by the client and it had fresh herbs, lavender ready for picking and putting straight into cocktails.

Wow what a night - I was honoured to cater for 300 guests for the Big Summer Ball last night. The weather may not have been summer like but guests definitely had a great time. Thank you to the amazing St Michael’s Hospice committee who trusted me to do this. Lots of money was raised for an amazing charity. Also a big thank you to my amazing team of staff some of whom donated their time to St Michael’s Hospice, you are all amazing. As ever big shout out to who added to James’ beautiful marquee. Flowers were provided by the seriously talented .rich.flowers who helped the committee put them all together. I am looking forward to finding out who the kind bidder was who bid for Millie & my auction prize of a dinner.

Wow what a wedding for O&T last weekend. Beautifully organised by nothing was left out, three different areas for drinks, dinner and dancing which all looked beautiful with the barn being turned into a great nightclub where we had a patisserie, cheese and coffee table and of course cocktails. Guests ate lots of canapés followed by a delicious smoked salmon starter and filet of beef for main course. Everything was captured by the expert photographer Tom - all credit to him for this photo, mine looked nothing like this !!!

It’s been a busy week of shooting dinners. Filet of venison with pancetta and herbs and a whisky sauce is always popular!

A shout out to my eldest Ollie who has been incredibly useful helping me with ABC on his year off! (He did escape for 7 months skiing). He’s been taught by the best and I really appreciate all of their help. He can now make a very good cocktail. This was sent to me by a client from a wedding recently. Thank you for a fab photo. Good luck at uni and you will be missed!! 🥂🍹

It’s been a super busy summer of weddings and parties and filet of beef, in some form, has been a firm favourite on many clients menus. It’s always winner!

Aranchini balls - always a firm favourite with clients, the waiting staff can never decide what their favourite is! Mushroom, butternut squash or pea & feta. All have mozzarella and pecorino in them to make them even tastier.

Deep in the middle of beautiful Hampshire weddings. This was from last week and the marquee looked absolutely beautiful and of course with amazing flowers by the wonderful

I am so lucky to see so many amazing settings for parties that I cater for. This one was particularly beautiful - a lovely Indian tent on the edge of a beautiful lake - I am always drawn to anything beside the water! Silent disco headphones on their chairs for after dinner!!
