Catering
Alistair and Daniel and their team were magnificent, providing catering over 5 days for 70 delegates at a conference in Glasgow, providing both lunch and dinner, and freshly baked cakes with tea and coffee twice a day. Their attention to detail, the deliciousness of the food, their humour and resourcefulness when we had some issues at the venue with electricity, made the whole week magical. We cannot recommend them highly enough - you will never be disappointed. More...

Alister provided a simple and delicious buffet for my Dad's 90th birthday gathering.
Although it was short notice, he was very accomodating and the friendly communication gave me confidence that everything would be spot on.
This meant I was able to concentrate on the rest of the arrangements. First time I have used a caterer for a family event and would certainly do this in the future. Money well spent and... ye cannie beat a home made scone!

Catering
Long before they actually came to our event I was really impressed with this company. They were so pleasant and everything was arranged so quickly and easily. On the day of our party they arrived exactly on time, transformed our room into anexquisite period dining room with silverware and vintage china and the most delicious afternoon tea ever. Alister and Dan were great fun, everyone loved them and they made our day really special. I cannot recommend them enough. More...

What’s your signature dish?
Our signature dish is our classic afternoon tea selection — handmade finger sandwiches, fresh scones, delicate patisserie, and elegant miniature desserts. It reflects our focus on refined presentation, balance, and traditional British hospitality delivered to a professional standard.
How do you go about creating the perfect menu for your clients?
We create the perfect menu by combining professional expertise, disciplined planning, and a detailed understanding of each client’s event, guests, and expectations. Every menu is built deliberately — never generically — to ensure it is proportionate, elegant, and operationally sound.
What do you love most about your job?
What I value most is the ability to create order, elegance, and calm for clients — transforming their ideas into a seamless, beautifully delivered experience. Hospitality allows me to apply professional standards, structure, and presentation discipline to moments that genuinely matter to people.
What inspired you to start your own business?
ADR Hospitality Group was created from a desire to bring true professional‑household standards into the wider hospitality market. After years of serving British, European, and Saudi royalty, I saw how structure, precision, and refined presentation could transform an experience — and I wanted clients outside those circles to benefit from the same level of care.
Why should our clients choose you?
ADR Hospitality Group offers a standard of service that is rarely found in the UK hospitality market — a combination of precision, discretion, and elevated presentation shaped by decades of professional butlering and luxury service experience. Clients choose us because every event, regardless of scale, is delivered with the same level of care, structure, and refinement expected in royal and executive households.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes. We offer remote event planning, menu design, coordination, and hospitality consultancy. Clients can meet with us online for structured planning, supplier management, run‑sheet creation, and professional guidance. This allows you to benefit from our expertise even when an in‑person service isn’t required.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
We introduced a comprehensive set of Covid‑19 safety measures to protect clients, guests, and staff while maintaining the quality and elegance of our service. Our approach followed government guidance and professional hospitality best practice, ensuring events were delivered safely and responsibly.
