Apparently, we’re the best at everything now. Who knew?

We’re going to need a bigger shelf. Picking up two major awards in one season might seem like we're showing off, but when you’re this dedicated to the perfect pour and the ultimate party, people tend to notice.

It’s official: we have been named the ‘Best Bespoke Mobile Bar & Event Catering Company’ in Hampshire by SME News, and the ‘New Event Management Company of the Year’ for 2025/26 by the South England Prestige Awards.

Whether it's a wedding in the heart of the New Forest or a milestone bash in Poole, it turns out our seamless approach to planning is officially top-tier. We handle the complexity so you can just enjoy the party: and maybe help us carry these trophies.

If you want your next event handled by Hampshire’s favorite high-achievers, get in touch. We’re ready when you are.

If you were expecting a formal invitation with an RSVP link and a meticulously planned seating chart, you’re going to be disappointed.

On August 20th, we’re doing things properly at Nettle New Forest in Hordle farm.
Darren from Scout & Hunter will be showing us how it's done with fire, on the BBQ, the bar is open. No bells, no whistles, just good food and a drink in your hand.

We aren’t taking bookings. Quite frankly, we can’t be bothered with the admin. Be there or miss out.

Just drop in for a bite and drink from 6pm. See you in Nettle New Forest

WANTED- Chef – Weddings, Festivals & BBQ Events (Hampshire & Dorset)

Love cooking over fire? Want to work at some of the most beautiful wedding venues in the South?

We’re not your typical caterers. We specialize in freshly prepared, ethically sourced, and locally grown food that tells a story. We’re looking for a talented, high-energy Chef to join our team for the upcoming wedding and event season across Hampshire and Dorset.

If you’re tired of "boring potato salad" and want to create culinary experiences that people actually talk about, we want to hear from you.

The Role:

Prepping and cooking high-quality menus for weddings, corporate events, and private parties.
Mastering live-fire and BBQ cooking (we’re all about the flames!).
Working on-site at stunning locations across Dorset, Hampshire, and beyond.
Representing us with a professional, friendly, and "can-do" attitude.

What we’re looking for:

Experience in high-volume catering or busy kitchens (weddings/events experience is a huge plus).
A genuine passion for local produce and seasonal cooking.
Reliability – events wait for no one!
A full UK driving license and your own transport (essential for getting to our beautiful, sometimes remote, venues).
Ability to stay calm and lead under pressure during the "heat" of service.

Why work with us?

Competitive pay.
Work in a fun, fast-paced environment with a team that actually cares about food.
No two days are the same – from rustic barn weddings to sleek corporate BBQs.

Ready to join the hunt?
Send over your CV and a quick note about why you’re the right fit/.

Warning: our feasts may cause excessive plant-based cravings. We’ve been seeing a massive shift toward ‘flexitarian’ menus, where plant-forward comfort dishes are the real stars of the show. Honestly, seeing a dedicated meat-eater go back for seconds of our rich lentil dahl or honey-roasted New Forest squash is one of my favorite parts of an event. It’s all about that deep, warming comfort factor: using local produce that is so naturally flavorful it doesn't need to mimic anything else. We focus on hearty, vibrant plates that leave every guest feeling full and happy, regardless of their usual diet. Choosing these plant-forward mains takes the complexity out of your planning. You don't have to worry about separate menus when the main event is something everyone is genuinely excited to dive into.

Our 80s Murder Mystery Dinner felt less like a party and more like stepping straight onto a film set. Between the suspicious shoulder pads and some truly questionable mullets, the energy was electric. Everyone fully committed to the bit, making the mystery as immersive as it was hilarious. It’s nights like these: filled with great people and incredible costumes: that make the planning worth every second. Huge shoutout to our guests for bringing the drama to the New Forest. We’re still recovering from the hairspray levels. N

Dust off those shoulder pads and grab the hairspray: things are about to get totally tubular! 🕵️‍♂️✨

We’re down to the very last few tickets for our 1980s All Star Murder Mystery Night at the beautiful Forest Park Hotel in Brockenhurst on February 6th. If you haven't grabbed yours yet, now is the time before they're gone for good!

Expect a night of big hair, bigger personalities, and a mystery that’ll have you guessing until the very end. It’s the perfect excuse for a night out with friends or a unique date night for our Bournemouth and Southampton locals.

Just a quick heads-up: while we’ve got the entertainment and atmosphere sorted, drinks are not included in the ticket price.

Don’t be a wastoid and miss out! Head to the link in our bio to snag those final spots. 🥂🔎
