Highly skilled team of chefs and service. I have been organizing large scale events for years and was inpressed by the overall quality. The owner was very attentive to my requests and made insightful recommendations that proved to be the determining factors of the success of our event. Food was delicious and the multiple dietary restrictions were easily accomodated. The catering team worked minutely and obiding to the highest food safety standards I've witnessed in this field. Service team was extremely professional, tidy and knowledgeable. 100% recommend, A+ will work exclusively with them More...

We had a fantastic party for my 60th and the food from Darren and his team was exceptional. It was so much better than a standard buffet and all our guest were very impressed. We went for the ‘grazing option’ which suited us very well. The food was beautifully set out and continually replenished. It also tasted amazing! We would strongly recommend and on our next party we would definitely use! More...

I was let down by caterers 2 weeks before my event. Scout and Hunter came to the rescue and I think it must have been meant to be. They did such a wonderful grazing table that every single guest remarked about how delicious it was. We had quite a few vegetarians in the group and there was plenty of choice and really tasty well thought out too. I will definitely be back to book them again. It was a professional and friendly service from start to finish. I couldn’t have expected anything more! Thank you. More...

They catered an event in Dover and the spread was simply amazing. Excellent preparation, finalising the cooking ‘just in time’ - so every plate is fresh. Fantastic 👍

What’s your signature dish?
Great Question although probably for me more of a style of service then individual dish.
Originally from Australia and completing my Apprenticeship in commercial cookery (Chef) at some amazing restaurants, and resorts throughout Queensland and Australia.
I have have been a part of the fine dining scene, cruise ships, small boutique bistros, 5 star island resorts, large high street franchise operations, wedding venues and after all that I have a style that I love is live cooking over the flames.....
BBQ's, Grills, Slow n Low, Fresh seafood are my favourites when a special event comes together. I enjoy the theatre of live cooking, the flames, cooking smells, the smoke.
Grazing stations, buffets that showcase local , seasonal and delicious ingredients.
The theatre of live cooking and styled buffets brings people together. The festival style socialising mingling. www.scoutandhunter.com
How do you go about creating the perfect menu for your clients?
I always try to get a good understanding of how the event hosts would like to their event to feel and what their expectations are.
I have amazing menus and service styles that suit relaxed and sociable special events. One of our biggest strengths as a team is adaptability, we can alter and adjust our menus, banquet layouts, buffet configurations and timings to suit all event styles.
Once the menus, style of service have been planned. You can enjoy your event and leave the the team to take care of the detail, you and your guests. www.scoutandhunter.com
What do you love most about your job?
When customers approach Scout & Hunter they generally have an idea of how they want their day or event to go. We show them options, offer some variety to the menus and show them another way it could be done. We help to customise their special event to suit their style. I would say being part of some great special events is the best thing about my job.

What inspired you to start your own business?
I started "Scout and Hunter" because I found the areas around Dorset, Hampshire had some stunning local produce and beautiful locations.
What was on offer at the time was very much a case of the old menu style, the best way to describe it was by saying "are you having the chicken or fish". Or it was a case of another beige buffet and I just thought that it could be so much better.
