What’s your signature dish?
Our signature dish is wood-fired pizza, crafted with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and topped with a variety of customizable options to suit any palate. Each pizza is cooked to perfection in our authentic wood-fired oven, creating a deliciously crisp crust and mouth-watering flavour that our clients rave about.
How do you go about creating the perfect menu for your clients?
We create the perfect menu by collaborating closely with our clients to understand their unique preferences, dietary requirements, and the nature of their event. The process begins with a consultation where we discuss the event’s theme, guest demographics, and any specific dishes or cuisines the client loves. Based on this, we provide tailored menu suggestions, offering a range of options from our repertoire, such as wood-fired pizzas, BBQ favourites, or custom cold buffets. We also adapt to dietary restrictions, ensuring inclusivity for all guests. Our goal is to craft a menu that not only satisfies but delights every attendee.
What do you love most about your job?
What we love most about our job is the opportunity to meet and get to know our clients, playing a part in their special celebrations. Each event is unique, and being able to help create memorable moments for people on their most important days brings us immense joy. Whether it’s a couple celebrating their wedding or a family gathering for a milestone birthday, we take pride in contributing to the happiness of the occasion.
We enjoy learning about the personal touches our clients want to include and collaborating with them to bring their vision to life. The relationships we build along the way and the trust our clients place in us are incredibly rewarding. For us, it’s not just about providing a service; it’s about being a part of their celebration, offering our expertise, and seeing their joy when everything comes together. That connection and the satisfaction of contributing to someone’s big day is truly the most fulfilling part of what we do.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Garden Party People was born from our shared passion for food and the joy it brings to people. We’ve always loved cooking, and over the years, this passion naturally evolved into a desire to share our culinary creations with others in a way that enhances their special celebrations. Our story started with a simple love for good food, combined with the joy of hosting and creating memorable experiences. This shared enthusiasm led us to create a business that focuses on not just providing delicious meals, but also offering an exceptional experience for our clients.
We saw an opportunity to bring something unique to the event catering industry: a personal touch, a dedication to quality, and the ability to transform a simple garden party into an unforgettable event. Garden Party People began as a way for us to bring our love for food, hospitality, and creativity together, offering clients a memorable and seamless event experience while doing what we love most.
