Innovative ideas, delectable food, impeccable service
Born out of a love of food and a passion for customer service we have been delighting clients for over a decade. We have achieved this by focusing on three crucial areas - our ingredients, kitchen and service. We carefully select the best ingredients from the wealth of fine produce that we find around us in Herefordshire.
Our lead chefs, Billy and Gabor combine Michelin-starred flair with vast event catering experience. Our event leaders and Front of House teams pay great attention to detail to deliver happy occasions with enthusiasm and a sense of fun. In short you will find something pleasingly different at every stage of your event from first contact to conclusion.
