Whilst we pride ourselves in having a beautiful, Grade II* listed building, we couldn’t bear to see another Pimm’s reception followed by a smoked salmon blini! We therefore decided to throw caution to the wind and show our customers the range of alternative delights we have to offer.
With our in house events team Harbour & Jones Events at the forefront of our creativity, our well travelled Head Chef Will Carvalho combined his creations from around the world to create the ultimate street party menu. It was then time to turn our Central London period townhouse into the most fabulous street food fiesta Marylebone has ever seen.
With a carefully selected guest list of VIPs in the events business set to attend I made it my job to make sure the venue was looking it’s most gorgeous. Each room was themed appropriately to get their creative juices flowing - whether this be for a Christmas shindig for 60 or breakfast press briefing for 20.
The pièce de résistance and central hub for the suitably named ‘Street.Food.Party’ showcase was our rooftop terrace overlooking the chimney tops of Marylebone. Being perhaps a little too optimistic and in the hope of getting ahead of the crowd for the competitive summer party business, yes we did host this in March and yes it did snow! But with the weather ignored, our guests feasted on a selection of mac and cheese fritters, sticky barbeque ribs, hot chicken wings and melt in your mouth slow cooked 8-hour pulled pork all perfectly finished off with a sparkling Mojito.
The showcase was a wonderful opportunity to meet so many of our lovely clients and to finally put a face to a name. On that subject we still have some rum left...anyone for a show around with a Mojito on the Terrace?
