The event space at St Paul’s Cathedral is open again! Whooooo. We were very excited to be chosen to be the first caterer back in the building. We helped design a feasting menu for 80 guests, all nestled against each other on one table and sharing from the same plates.

Our brief was to create an informal dinner suited to a high-end audience who are used to attending these sorts of dinners all of the time. Oh and keep to the look of ‘monastic chic’! A brilliant challenge.

Out came the textured white cloths and hemp-stich green napkins. Out came the rosemary sprigs to sit at each setting. Out came the wooden boards and eclectic plate ware. A feast was made!
