‘Tis the season to . . . Party!!

Wedding season finished, party season starting! The Kingfisher team are very busy over these few weeks with Christmas Corporate party’s, birthday party’s, christmas lunches all to be catered for. The kitchen is a buz of excitement with all hands on deck peeling and chopping, creating Kingfisher signature themed Christmassy dishes!

Last Friday saw us at Hightown’s Hawaiian Christmas themed office party! The office was transformed into a Hawaiian beach complete with a Tiki Bar serving cocktails of Sex on the beach and Pina Colada’s fantastically made and served by Ian & Mark.

They arrived to canapes of sushi, spring rolls, deep fried tiger prawns all served on boards covered with banana leaves followed by a fork buffet consisting of Kalua pork, Katsu chicken curry, sweet potato and Yam fried vegetables. It was a colourful spread and smelt delicious!

The guests really made the effort with their costumes, one even arrived in a cardboard box shaped like a surf board! All were given garlands on arrival, Drinks flowed, music rocked, they danced the night away. Great evening had by all!

Sunday saw the team in Welwyn for Jonathan’s 60th Birthday lunch, cooked and prepped in their private kitchen, a beautiful spread for all the guests. Champagne and canapes on arrival of Hoisin duck wraps, Crispy pork belly with bramley apple quenelle. Chicken liver parfait with spicey plum comfit on toasted brioche and tempura prawns with a chilli dip.

Thai green curry with coconut rice, Roast beef with handcut chips and bernaise sauce, slow roasted pork belly with spiced apple compot and honey roasted veg was all served in bowls for the guests to enjoy. These small bowls allow each guests to sample all the dishes and looks great as its served.

A toast and birthday cake followed and was served alongside canape desserts of eton mess, pimms trifle and dark chocolate & banoffee pie completed the feast.

Tomorrow sees us at Roundwood school serving traditional Christmas lunch to 400 infant school children and looking after 140 for the Harman Group in Potters Bar for their afternoon tea style Christmas lunch!
