Brief, taste,
plan, serve.
Catering shouldn't add stress. Our process is four steps and one point of contact from your first email to the last tray going back into the van. Everything else happens behind the scenes.
The Brief
We sit down with you — venue, headcount, dietaries, the feel of the day. No menu yet, just listening.
Tasting
Two or three courses laid on at our kitchen. Bring whoever's deciding. We adjust until it's right.
The Plan
Final menus, timings, staffing, kit list and a single point of contact for the venue.
Service
Our team arrives early, sets up quietly, and runs the day so you don't think about food once.

From the table
“Birch & Brass ran our wedding for 140 with the calm of people who've done it a thousand times. The lamb still gets brought up at dinner parties.
Eleanor & JamesWedding · Greenlands, Henley
“We host three client evenings a year and they've catered every one since 2022. Canapés are genuinely beautiful and the team is unfailingly polite.
Marcus HaleDirector · Hale & Foster Partners
“A 60th birthday in a marquee at home — three courses, two dietaries, no fuss. Worth every penny.
