Find suppliers that are all-in and never have 'hidden extras' (us in other words!).
Wellington Boots as flower vases. Lego characters as place names.
Establish ball-park match. Meet and talk fave food. Agree a price. Taste. Plan carefully. Meet. Deliver. Rave.
Our homemade Dauphinous potatoes.
Perfect pink lamb for 160 people.
Fresh, bountiful and generous helpings.
Tarragon (and lots of herbs).
