By Word of Mouth at Westminster Abbey:
Few venues carry a sense of history quite like Westminster Abbey. For over 1,000 years, it has been the setting for coronations, royal weddings and national moments, making it one of London’s most extraordinary places to host an event.
From the atmospheric Vaulted Cloisters and the 13th-century Chapter House to the Cellarium, once used by the monks to store food and drink, each space offers a remarkable backdrop for receptions, dinners and private celebrations.
For something truly memorable, the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Galleries sit 52 feet above the Abbey floor within the medieval triforium, creating a breathtaking setting for a drinks reception or a beautiful addition to a larger dinner in the Cellarium.

For our Supper in the Sun, guests enjoyed a menu that celebrated the season from start to finish.
A selection of hot and cold canapes included Dorset crab and lentil & coriander falafel. These were followed by an array of elegant table snacks, from caviar and chips to the cheesemaker’s special gougeres topped with a cloud of parmesan. To start, guests were served lobster tail and ravioli, followed by spring lamb for the main course. For pudding, a Kent strawberry coupe was paired with warm London Honey madeleines.
A big thank you to our friends:

Last month, we had the pleasure of catering a beautiful dinner on the cathedral floor at St Paul’s. From the atmosphere of the space itself to the exquisite florals by Simon Lycett and gold dining tables that reflected the grandeur of the ceiling above, every detail came together to create a dinner that felt both sophisticated and truly special.
The menu began with a selection of hot and cold canapes, from La Latteria stracciatella cornetto to summer herb & truffled fontina polenta and beef carpaccio with Parmesan. Dinner included Isle of Wight tomatoes, sous vide loin of spring lamb with slow-cooked shoulder, and a bespoke pudding replicating the dome of the cathedral.
