Catering
Who
Our 2nd daughter Jo and her husband Sam, who live next to us have been cooking wonderful meals for guests at the Shippon for several years. Why not give them a ring on 01803 732941 or e mail them at theshippon@sharphambarton.co.uk
Our 3rd daughter Jennie makes beautiful cakes and also specialises in platters of delicious little bites for childrens birthday parties. (see the picture at foot of page!) Her tel no. is 01803 866425. They are happy to discuss any particular arrangements and will help where they can.
How
They cook everything in their own kitchen and deliver it to your door. It is all cooked to order and ingredients, where possible, are locally sourced and always fresh. It is helpful if you place your order as far in advance as you can.
Why
'Thank you so much for cooking for us so deliciously during our week at the Shippon. The Sunday Lunch party was great and the salmon quite beautifully cooked. Everyone was most impressed with it all and hugely enjoyed it. Our dinners were great too and it was such a treat to know they would be so good and yet having nothing to do on the culinary side myself. It really was real home cooking with the best and freshest ingredients. For me that was a true holiday!! Huge thanks to you both.'
The Dallyn Family, 2009
When
They usually cook on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday but please call them to discuss arrangements outside these days. They can cater for any numbers but request that you order one main course and two desserts wherever possible. They will drop the food off at a pre-arranged time and collect the empty dishes the next morning.
