​Chef Chris, Emily, and the team were back on the road this weekend! 🚗✨

​We popped over to Hollybush Farm Retreat to cater for a fantastic group of 50 ladies on a corporate retreat.

​The evening kicked off with delicious hand-crafted canapés while a saxophonist set the mood 🎷, followed by a full 3-course dinner. To wrap up the night, a live singer had everyone singing along to all-time favourites! 🎤🎶

​As always, every dish was lovingly crafted by Chef Chris—fully tailored to accommodate all dietary needs, including gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options. 🥗🌱
