Following a very busy Friday, we wanted to show the work which goes on behind closed doors for our team!

Helen leaves at 7:30 a.m. to make her way to Ashbourne to pick up our meats, provisions, and bread from our local suppliers.

8:30: Our prep team arrives to start assembling our buffets for the day. On this particular Friday, we had one buffet for 100 guests. All our sweets are prepared the night before the event so that decorating could take place the next morning, and all of our savoury dishes are prepared the day of the event to ensure that what we serve is as fresh as possible.

9:30: Our office team arrive, keeping follow up on inquiries and making sure that every one of our events is thoroughly organised with our clients—especially for our wedding the next day.

10:30: The chefs arrive. On this Friday, we needed canapes for an afternoon celebration with 80 guests and preparations for our wedding the following afternoon. Planning for the coming week is also necessary so the cooks are aware of their menus and orders.

13:00: Our waiting team arrive at our first event, the opening of ‘Harrison Way’ This was full service of a free bar and a canape service. Back at our hub prep was still being undertaken.

17:00: Helen transports the final buffet of the day to the new opening of ‘Elite Cinema and Theatre’ in Ashbourne- a buffet for 100 people was set and out and one of our team from the canape party arrived to help set up a prosecco service.

18:00: With staff remaining at Harrison Way continuing to maintain the bar, prosecco service began at the cinema opening.

20:00: Home time! Some time to relax before we start again for a Saturday wedding.

This only represents a small portion of what our staff accomplishes on a daily basis; we frequently do much more than just supply the meal! We have such a passion for what we do and are incredibly grateful to be involved in these special events.
