We have had a very busy few weeks at Purple Grape and are thoroughly looking forward to this bank holiday to rest up and re-energise!!

Its been an incredibly varied month of events including an 18th Birthday party and a 50th birthday which was an Asian Inspired canape and bowl food reception -

We transformed our clients home into a series of different highlights of Asia... from the oasis of the sake and chinese tea room, with lots of low seating, scented candles, serene music....through to the hustle and bustle of a Asian food market outside where we had a variety of wok stations cooking away together with a wonderful sushi bar consisting of maki, nigiri, sashimi and extras such as hijiki seaweed & soy beans salad... The kitchen became the hub of the evening where we served cocktails including a Japanese Cherry Blossom Margarita and a Mango and Lychee Collins with Tanqueray Gin

Another highlight for us was a lovely private lunch for a client in richmond where we served a glorious 4-course menu which consisted of:

Espresso cups of Gazpacho with rocket oil and parmesan

---

Cocktail of lobster and crayfish, dusted with smoked paprika

---

Trio of Modern English Plate:

Confit of belly pork crackling and sage

Tornado of beef with a trio of cheese ravioli and a gorgonzola cream

Tea smoked lamb on a bed of sweet potato

---

Selection of miniature desserts

Next month it looks like its going to be just as busy with us only today creating a surreal style 3-course menu for a quirky arts dinner for our clients...look out for the ideas we came up with in our next blog!
