All the Essentials
Every menu is tailored to your preferences, dietary requirements and the occasion – it's your event, not ours.
Bespoke Menus
You're welcome to supply your own wines - we'll handle the pouring and service. Alternatively, we work closely with a fantastic vintner who can suggest pairings to suit any budget.

Corporate Event Catering
First impressions matter in business. Whether you are hosting a networking event for clients and colleagues or a bespoke boardroom lunch, I will work with your team to ensure a menu that perfectly reflects your occasion, environment, and budget.
We understand the dynamics of corporate events. From working lunches designed to be easily managed alongside laptops, to celebratory canapé parties and break-out finger buffets, my team and I are highly sympathetic to your space. We deliver within the constraints of the workplace with utmost skill, ensuring smooth, professional event management that keeps your business at the fore of everyone's mind.
What an amazing experience. I asked Chef Simon McKenzie if he would agree to do a BBQ evening at my house for my Stag night. We were not disappointed.

We recently hired chef Simon McKenzie and the team for a big birthday celebration at our home. Having never done this before we really did not know what to expect, but the whole evening completely surpassed our best expectations.

Thankyou Simon, Aisling and team for a really special garden party with beautiful food and presentation - it is just as good in real life as in the photos. And so grateful for your flexibility on timing and numbers as we juggled the HRR racing schedule and the weather.

Had a fantastic experience with Simon for an event during the summer, and also was very impressed by how well he created a menu based off of our event theme!
