RETREATS
Corporate getaways in the countryside, 3-day weddings & birthday celebrations, or family breaks away in an English manor house. We cater as much or as little as you’d like. We can cater for one special meal, a long weekend or all meals for a full week. Menus are created by discussing your dietaries, asking about your favourite restaurants, meals & how you want to host your guests. 3 meals a day, snacks, afternoon teas, picnic baskets, packed lunches for the trip home, midnight snacks for the wild party ones. We love making the retreats super special.
Over the years we have built close relationships with a variety of venues in and out of London.
