Informal dining with a true wow factor

This event was delivered for a long-standing client who regularly hosts both private and corporate functions with us—from intimate dinner parties to large summer celebrations. They consistently aim to impress their guests, and this occasion was no different.

Street Food Concept
for a Summer Party

The job

We were asked to cater a summer party for approximately 150 guests at the client’s private home. The brief was to create a series of impressive food stations that would elevate the guest experience and deliver visual impact.

Goals & Requirements

The client expected exceptional food quality, eye-catching presentation, and professional service, along with full drinks service including cocktails. We were responsible for managing the entire event—planning, delivery, staffing, and all equipment required.

Our Solution

Throughout the planning process, we worked closely with the client to understand their vision and ensure expectations were aligned. We proposed a street-food-style event featuring four interactive food stations:

• BBQ
• Dim Sum & Stir Fry
• Wood-Fired Pizzas
• Desserts Station

The stations were designed to mimic the feel of a lively outdoor street-food market, set within the garden to create an engaging and immersive experience.

Initially, the client was uncertain about the street-food concept. To help them visualise the idea, we organised a personalised tasting at their property. This session allowed us to discuss presentation, styling, and flow in detail, ensuring they were fully comfortable with the final proposal.

In the lead-up to the party, the weather forecast became unfavourable. We acted quickly, working with the client and our supplier to source a marquee at short notice to ensure the event could go ahead seamlessly.
