Why our plant-based approach is different:

• Micro-Seasonal Shifts: Your menu changes as the forest does. If wild garlic is peaking in spring, it becomes our signature salsa verde. If it’s autumn, we’re celebrating with smoky mushroom gravies.
• Zero-Waste Philosophy: We use every part of the plant, from root to stem, ensuring your event is as sustainable as it is delicious.
• Bold, “Spicy” Flavours: We love a bit of drama on the plate. Expect sweet and spicy combinations, like chilli-maple glazed root vegetables.

If you’re planning a celebration and want to ensure every guest: even the most dedicated meat lovers: is impressed, our guide on hosting a vegan wedding is a great place to start.

Refined Indulgence: The Patisserie

Dessert should be a captivating finale, a moment of pure intrigue and delight. Our Patisserie service takes the same foraged approach and applies it to the world of fine sweets. We create desserts that are visually striking and deeply rooted in the New Forest’s botanical bounty.

The Wild Strawberry Mousse is a perfect example of our philosophy. We take tiny, intensely flavoured strawberries: the sort that hide like they know they’re the prize: and turn them into a light-as-air mousse that tastes unapologetically of summer.

What you can expect from our dessert boards:

• Botanical Eclairs: Imagine a choux pastry filled with an elderflower and yuzu crème, topped with a hint of candied rosemary (or even pine, for that true forest scent!).
• Seasonal Tarts: We rotate our tarts by the month. One week it might be blackberry and woodruff; the next, a pear and hazelnut creation with a fermented miso caramel twist.
• Interactive Dessert Stations: We love creating bespoke grazing dessert boards that allow your guests to explore a variety of miniature masterpieces at their own pace.

The Heart of the Party: Botanical Bars

A bar should be more than a place where someone asks if you want ice. It should have a bit of theatre, a bit of mischief, and a very good answer to the question, “What’s in this?” Our Botanical Bars are built around handcrafted cordials, seasonal ingredients, and foraged finds that bring real character to every serve.

You won’t find generic mixers doing the heavy lifting here. Instead, you’ll discover rhubarb and gooseberry cordials made right here in Hampshire, all sharp edges, bright sweetness, and just enough attitude to keep things interesting.

The highlights of our custom bar menus:

• The New Forest Spritz: A refreshing, low-ABV serve featuring fermented berry shrubs and local herb hydrosols. It’s crisp, clever, and dangerously easy to keep saying yes to.
• Foraged Highballs: Depending on the month, your guests might get a gorse flower cordial highball that tastes like sunshine with better manners, or an autumnal crab apple and smoked herb serve with a gloriously hedgerow-ish edge.
• Non-Alcoholic Sophistication: We treat our mocktails with the same care as our cocktails. Using ingredients like reishi and other botanical elements, we create “Forest Fizzes” that feel grown-up, layered, and far more exciting than a token orange juice.

Whether you are hosting at a stunning venue like Palais Des Vaches or in your own private garden, our custom bar hire ensures your drinks are as memorable as the setting.

A Seamless, Stress-Free Experience

We know that planning a bespoke event can feel like a daunting task. How do you source enough wild garlic? Who will make the syrups? How do you coordinate the catering with the bar?

We handle all the details. Our approach is designed to take the complexity out of planning so you can simply enjoy your special occasion. From the first consultation where we map out your foraged elements to the moment the last botanical cocktail is served, we are there to ensure everything is perfect.

We specialize in crafting these unique, bespoke experiences throughout Hampshire and the New Forest. Whether it’s a vibrant outdoor festival or an intimate gathering, we bring the same level of artisanal care to every plate and glass. While we primarily focus on our world-class bar and catering services, we can also help you find the ideal entertainment or live music to provide that minor, perfect finishing touch to your atmosphere.
