Our planning team will work with you to create bespoke menus to compliment the theme of your event. Whether you are looking for campfire cooking, imaginative buffets, live big pan kitchens or even a 'Ready Steady Cook' immersive experience, we are confident that we can design something inspiring to fit your brief.

We specialise in gluten and dairy free inclusive menus, ensuring all guests, no matter what their allergies or intolerances, experience the very best of cuisine.

Land Rover Experience Corporate Events

Since 2012 A to Zest has been very proud to provide the catering for Land Rover's flagship Experience Centre based at Eastnor Castle, Herefordshire. We have had many exciting challenges along the way including night time campfire dinners and barbecue lunches deep in the woods.

In 2013 Land Rover Experience Eastnor played host to the global launch of the brand new Range Rover Sport - needless to say, there were a few hundred hungry mouths to feed.

Hereford Cathedral Nave Dinner

Catering for 350 people always needs careful planning not least when your kitchen is a transept!

Installing gas burner ovens in such a historic building; ensuring hot food is served from one end of the cathedral to another; timing service precisely to coincide with a busy event schedule, these were some of the challenges that we met to ensure a successful Hereford Cathedral Charity Nave Dinner.
