Our wonderful catering team headed back to 66 Portland Place today to clear the store cupboards and freezers of food (whilst adhering to social distancing guidelines of course!).

These items were donated to Divine Rescue Community Food Bank where volunteers are working around the clock to ensure people and families in need are being supported with food, water, warm clothes, sleeping bags, toiletries and hand sanitizers.

Our venue may be closed for now but we, like many other people, have established our working from home rhythm and are continuing to support clients as much as possible.

As well as being on hand to assist with rescheduling any upcoming bookings, we are available to help with any enquires for events later in the year and beyond so do get in touch if you’d like to chat - [email protected].

And if you're wondering why we're sharing an (old!) photo of us wearing Santa hats then consider this an announcement that dates for Christmas events are still booking up fast 😁
