No matter your interests, we guarantee there’s something for everyone from archery to the beer and music festival boasting over 40 different real ales, ciders and perry’s.

The Heaton House BIG Weekend is a fantastic combination of a beer and music festival, a variety show and a traditional country fayre all rolled into one! You can camp out all weekend for the full experience or pick up tickets for each individual day if you don’t fancy camping. Sounds of rock, reggae, Irish folk, indie, punk and pop music will fill the air across the weekend and there’s a genre for everyone! Plus it’s always great to discover new bands and local music.

Fun Wedding Food – Build Your Own Burgers!

Increasingly, we have seen a demand for more casual and sociable food options at weddings and events.
Many couples are selecting food that they love and feel represents their personal style, over more formal or traditional choices.

We love to help our clients with their special requests, and seeing them and their guests enjoy and delight in their choices makes
us very happy! Last week, we catered for the fantastic wedding of Mark and Amy at the beautiful Heaton House Farm.
They wanted a delicious and fun menu for their guests to enjoy on their special day.

We served up a scrumptious array of canapés to get everyone warmed up –

Fish and chips
Tiger prawn with pak choy, garlic and chilli
Peking duck pancakes with hoi sin sauce
Manchester Egg (a pickled egg coated in black pudding and sausage meat, and deep-fried until golden-brown)

This seemed to get everybody in the mood for more! We encouraged everyone to roll up their sleeves and enjoy some hearty
starter dishes, served on the slate or in bowls for guests to share.
