The range of menu and occasions have increased. We have done a number of weddings, Black-Tie Retirement Party, a BBQ / Hog Roast Going-away celebration, and a number of Surprise Birthday parties. We have hosted Corporate Lunches,Graduation Lunches and Dinners.We hosted the Press launch of the Manchester Food and Drink Festival, and as a result, have organised a 1838 Dinner. Why 1838 ?
