After an incredibly busy year, it’s time for us to take a deep breath and look
back over the past year before jumping headlong into the new one. We had some
incredible moments in 2013 – here’s to lots more in 2014!

We hope you all have a fantastic holiday.
Enjoy a little too much food, too much drink and lots of fun.

Merry Christmas Everyone

George & Seans Winter Wedding

On December 11th we catered for George and Sean’s Civil Partnership.
Heaton House Farm was dressed to festive perfection and guests enjoyed winter
Pimms and Christmas songs.

George and Sean’s adorable Spaniels joined them for the day and added to the fun
Christmas vibes with cute festive jumpers!

More than Mince Pies

The festive season is abundant with culinary delights for everyone to enjoy.
These dark and cold December days call for warmth and comfort!

Christmas nibbles don’t have to be limited to traditional mince pies,
our friends at Bramhall Bakery have created some fantastic alternative festive treats.

Fresh festive scrolls and Jubilee loaves.

Their festive scrolls include an enticing addition of marzipan and their jubilee loaf
is a sweet bread with mincemeat running through the center. We just can’t resist them,
freshly prepared and warm from the oven. Simply Delicious!

So delicious in fact, that they have been featured in the December issue of Cheshire Life magazine.
Well done Bramhall Bakery team!

Fantastic Feedback

You may remember a few weeks ago, we told you about a fabulous 40th birthday party.

We catered for the private party with a sumptuous and extravagant menu.

This week, we were very pleased to receive some fantastic feedback…

“We are all well, and I had a fabulous party. It was truly special and I will remember it for a long time to come.

Vanilla were amazing. The food was outstanding. A lot of our friends regularly eat out and everyone commented on how much
they enjoyed the food and that it was like dining at a top-end restaurant. The service was seamless, not rushed and our
vegetarian said the food was the best ever. All their staff were brilliant; helpful, polite and willing to go the extra mile
all the time. I would highly recommend them and I would definitely use them again myself.

The table was also absolutely gorgeous (the pictures don’t do it justice)… everyone was taking pictures of it, and no-one
wanted to sit down! It looked so elegant yet sumptuous… it was exactly what I wanted. The flowers were the standout point
of the table… by Red Floral, who were recommended by Vanilla. I gave very little instruction to them, sent them some pictures
of my kitchen, and they surpassed all my expectations. Again, another company I would definitely use again.

I wouldn’t just consider Vanilla for last minute jobs, but for those looking for something very special. The fact I got to speak
to the chef was the key point for me; I knew he could deliver what I was wanting and we came up with the menu together. However,
we also have been to a big event where they catered, and that was excellent too.”

We are so pleased that we could be a part of making this fantastic birthday party extra special.
