Events Done Properly

From working lunch to black-tie dinner

We cater corporate events across Yorkshire with the same exacting standards we bring to weddings. Professional service, fresh food made from scratch, menus built around your event — and a team that understands schedules, dietary requirements and the importance of making a good impression.

We've catered at Ripon Cathedral, Burghley House, Bramham Park, racecourses and conference venues across the North. Whatever your event, we know how to deliver it properly.

Drinks Receptions

First impressions. Perfectly made.

A great canapé reception sets the tone for the whole evening. We make everything from scratch — nothing bought in, nothing reheated — and we serve it beautifully, at exactly the right time.

We can also supply a full artisan Yorkshire drinks service alongside: Slingsby and Masons gin, Roosters and Theakstons ales, wine from Yorkshire Vintners, or a full cocktail bar.

Awards Dinners & Formal Events

Three courses. Table service. Properly done.

We've catered formal dinners at some of Yorkshire's most distinguished venues — Ripon Cathedral, Burghley House, Bramham Park. Whatever the occasion, we match the room.

All formal menus include full table service, linen napkins, pre-dinner canapés (optional), welcome drinks, wine service and full allergen documentation.

Away Days & Outdoor Events

Bring the team together over great food.

Nothing breaks the ice quite like a hog roast or a live BBQ. For corporate away days, team events and outdoor celebrations, our live fire catering creates a shared moment that people remember long after the day is done.

We're fully self-contained — mobile kitchen, all equipment, setup and breakdown included. Fields, estates, courtyards and car parks all work.

Private Dining

Intimate. Exceptional. Completely personal.

For smaller private dinners — boardroom lunches, client entertainment, milestone celebrations — we bring the same quality without the scale. A private dining experience that feels genuinely exclusive.

We can work in your premises, at a private venue, or suggest one of our favourite spaces across Yorkshire. Tell us what you have in mind.
