Last month, I was delighted to be asked to cater for an event organised by 'Themensroom' in Holmfirth, West Yorkshire. In aid of Hepworth Junior & Infant School, it was an evening inspired by Roaring 20's America and F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel - The Great Gatsby.
Hepworth Village Hall came alive as guests arrived in outfits befitting the glamour of one of Gatsby's exclusive parties. A jazz band welcomed invitees and played late into the night while there was also a champagne and cigar raffle. Of course, alongside this, there was also the small matter of a 3 course meal, prepared lovingly by me.....
Catering for 80 people, it was my biggest event to-date and a really great occasion to be a part of. On the menu was a Goat's cheese, pear and walnut salad to start with a main course of roast chicken breast with patatas bravas, parsnip crisps and thyme jus, and a dark chocolate mousse with sesame toffee snap. For the vegetarian guests I made an individual roast root vegetable, Camembert and red onion jam pie.
The feedback I received on the night and after the event was overwhelming and it was great to be able to part of a great cause and a highly unique evening.
Of course, I couldn't have catered on this scale without the assistance of my trusty team for the evening who were a great help in waiting on tables and maintaining the upkeep of the kitchen: thanks team!
The menu I provided for The Great Gatsby Evening was bespoke and catered towards the choices of the organisers. If you'd like further information on the packages I provide, you can find these here or alternatively, give me a call directly on 07740101568.
Cheers for now,
Ashlee
