Found the perfect venue? Date in the diary? 🥂

Catering is one of those decisions that can feel like something to sort out later, but leaving it too long can mean having fewer options available, particularly if you’re planning a wedding, party or corporate event during a busy time of year.

Getting your event caterer involved early also means you have someone experienced to help shape the food around your plans, venue and guests as the details come together.

So, when should you actually start making enquiries?

When the temperatures rise, there’s nothing better than food that feels light, fresh, and full of flavour.

Here are a few of our favourite dishes that always feel right during the summer months:

☀️ Fresh Mediterranean Sharing Boards
A colourful selection of cured meats, artisan cheeses, olives, hummus, fresh breads, roasted vegetables and seasonal fruits. Perfect for relaxed afternoons and guests who enjoy grazing at their own pace.

🥗 Grilled Chicken & Summer Salad
Succulent grilled chicken served alongside crisp leaves, tomatoes, cucumber, feta, roasted peppers and a light herb dressing. Fresh, satisfying and full of seasonal flavour.

🍔 Gourmet BBQ Feast
Handmade burgers, locally sourced sausages, marinated chicken, grilled halloumi and chargrilled vegetables, served with homemade slaws, fresh salads and soft brioche buns. A true summer favourite.

🐟 Fresh Fish with Citrus & Herbs
Delicately cooked fish with lemon, fresh herbs and seasonal vegetables creates a lighter option that still feels special for a summer celebration.

🍓 Seasonal Berry Desserts
Whether it’s an Eton mess, fresh fruit pavlova, strawberry tart or a mixed berry cheesecake, summer desserts are all about making the most of Britain’s finest fruits.

💧 Top tip: Keep a bottle or jug of water close by throughout the day. Adding slices of lemon, cucumber, mint, or fresh berries is an easy way to make staying hydrated a little more enjoyable.

What’s your favourite summer dish that you look forward to every year?

One of the first questions we get asked is: “How much is catering per head?”

The honest answer? It depends on the style of food, service level, staffing, timings, and guest numbers.

A relaxed BBQ for 80 guests looks very different to a full plated wedding breakfast with canapés and evening food.

The best catering quotes are the ones built around your event properly, with the overall guest experience at the centre of the planning.

If you’re planning an event and want realistic guidance, feel free to message us. We’re always happy to help.

Wedding food has changed more in the last few years than most people realise.

Couples are moving away from traditional formats and choosing food that feels more relaxed, more personal, and more memorable.

It’s less about ticking boxes, and more about creating something guests talk about long after the day.

If you’re planning, it’s worth asking one simple question:

Does your food feel like part of the experience?

If you’re exploring catering options, feel free to get in touch.

The sun’s coming out… and so is one of our most requested summer menus ☀️🍋

There’s something about a Greek-inspired spread that just feels right when the weather warms up.

Fresh, simple, and full of flavour. Think creamy hummus, olives, crisp falafel, and freshly sliced tomato, lettuce and cucumber, all finished with a drizzle of olive oil. Served alongside rice to bring it all together.

It’s light enough for a summer afternoon, but still leaves your guests feeling looked after.

If you’re planning an event and want food that suits the season without overcomplicating things, this one always delivers.
