A Queen’s Guard, an English butler and a flying Union Jack…this farewell party was a celebration of all things British to mark the end of an Australian chapter.
Under the stars of a beautiful Sydney winter night, Katering transformed this family home into a stately English manor. Guests were greeted at the driveway by a formal Queens Guard before being welcomed into the home by an English butler for pints of lager, champagne and hearty British food.
The finely crafted menu included:
- Mini Yorkshire puddings
- Pigs in blankets
- Smoked trout mousse with crostini
- Bangers and mash
- Butter chicken curry
- Spotted dick and Eton mess for something sweet
As the night progressed, guests moved into the pop up nightclub for British cocktails and music. The quintessential Sherlock Hound and Winter Garden were shaken to order and garnished with wedges of orange and delicate edible flowers.
A black London cab ferried guests home at the end of the night with memories of a world full of good friends, warmth and English charm.
