Supplier Profile - AJ Butchery

Our Creative Chefs gathered together this week to attend a group butchery demonstration arranged by our Executive Chef Bruce. After a tasty breakfast of sausage and bacon baps, the team joined Steve Turton, a butcher from AJ Butchery, to learn and discuss the different cuts of meat available to them and the best ones to use for their menus. Steve brought along the best beef, lamb and pork that they supply, including Black Angus beef, Suffolk-Texel cross lamb and large white-Duroc cross pork.

AJ Butchery is a family-run business based in Newton Abbot in Devon run by Steve, his son, Andrew and his mum Pam, they are obviously very passionate about the extensive work they do. They even work with lots of small independant farms in Devon and the surrounding areas, choosing the animals to develop the best meats that they then supply to their clientele, including some high class London restaurants and Winter Wonderland!

 

Creative Taste Wins Greenwich Park Catering Contract

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that Creative Taste has been awarded a 5 year contract to provide catering at Greenwich Park's cafés and kiosks.

From 7th November, Creative will be operating The Pavilion Café, The White House Bakery and three kiosks in the oldest enclosed Royal Park which dates back to 1427.

Along with complete makeovers which will include improved lighting and seating, all areas will benefit from a new focus on fantastic British catering and local produce at its best, with abundant displays of delicious food changing throughout the day to suit the customers needs.

Having had the pleasure of working with The Royal Parks previously at a number of events in Regents Park and Hyde Park, where this Christmas brings our 7th year at Winter Wonderland, we are really looking forward to the prospect of growing our relationship over the coming years.  

We look forward to welcoming you all to Park in the next few months!

Partytime

A very merry time was had by all at the Creative staff party last week.  Kicking off with drinks, ice skating and tummy turning rides with the team working at Winter Wonderland, the party really got started out on the town in our glad rags but we will save you from those pictures! Here's a few early ones while we're looking at our best!

Winter Wonderland

It's nearly that time... the time to don your woolly wardrobe in preparation for Hyde Parks' fabulous Winter Wonderland! Once again, Creativevents are operating the Traditional English Food Village and the Star Tavern, offering delightful festive fayre including Hog Roasts, Roasted Chestnuts, Mulled Wine and Hot Chocolate.  The team are working hard in the chilly conditions to get our huge timbered food village built and ready to go for the opening next week.  Watch this space for some more news on this years event but in the meantime here are some pictures from previous years to get you in the spirit!
