How it works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you are free to enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. Evening receptions in Chaddleworth stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
