Posts Tagged ‘weddings at Avington Park’

Thanks to Matt and Kevin at Dotlabel (web and graphic design company) who as well as encouraging me to set up a Blog site can take credit for our fab new website which I feel reflects what Creative Catering is all about, Delicious food, professional, friendly staff  producing stylish events.

So, The Creative Catering Blog Site.  If you have landed on here I want to encourage your feedback and also please do let me know about any food links you think more people should know about.

I aim to up-date the site on a weekly basis with news of events, recipes, food links to relevant sites that as a ‘foodie’ you will be interested in.

The summer is lovely for marquee weddings and shown below is the beautiful ivory interior of a wedding we catered for at Avington Park in July, the weather was particularly kind, enabling the sides of the marquee to be drawn back and the garden becoming a natural extension to the marquee.

100 guests dined on a seafood cocktail followed by a char-grilled fillet of free-range chicken breast served onto a bed of summer vegetable ribbons and a tomato consome, the trio of puddings was a particular favourite and the selection of  cheeses opened many eyes to what fabulous produce is available on our door step from suppliers such as Loosehanger cheeses and Tunworth cheese.

Is planning your Wedding or Event worrying you?

I had the good fortune to meet a very organised and visionary lady last week called Elizabeth Graney who runs an Event and Wedding planning service called Pegasi Events.  She has many years of event planning to her credit and also teaches the subject, so who better to run your event?  We are looking forward to working with Elizabeth on events in the future.

ISES

I have recently become  a member of ISES (International Special Events Society) which is a networking group based on hospitality industry specialists who meet on a monthly basis in London and as networking meetings go this is  a good one, as it should be!  Always in a fab. event location, with great food supplied by one of the members companies and what appears to be endless cocktails,  networking is looking up!  I have found it invaluable for meeting likeminded people in the industry for bouncing ideas and seeing  what the London caterers are up to which helps me keep fresh with ideas for Hampshire.  The next meeting is at the site of Foremans fish island and the canapes are based on produce from Foreman & Son the leading smoked fish supplier, so I will report back on the evening in my next blog.

Just before I sign off for this week, I probably do not need to remind the majority of you that the schools break up this week and we are running cookery workshops on Tuesday 4th and Wednesday 5th August, please take a look at our web site for  more details.

Enjoy your week and let’s hope the sun returns for the start of the school holidays – Best wishes, Kaye.
