Flamed Foods Co. - Barbeque and Hog Roast Catering - Milton Keynes - Buckinghamshire

IN AN ENGLISH COUNTRY GARDEN...

2011-08-02T20:26:00.007+01:00

What a beautiful day at Micklefield Hall. This Bride and Groom had paid every small attention to detail when planning their Wedding Day at this breath-taking venue.

They enjoyed their ceremony at Micklefield Hall's secluded circular pond, which was fringed with wooden chairs for all their guests. Afterwards, they were met with Mojito cocktails or Champagne and a selection of our handmade canapes in the rose garden.

As guests proceeded to the marquee, set within the rolling fields which make up the grounds of Micklefield Hall, they were greeted with a beautifully created scene of garden flowers in jam jars, vintage lace, a suitcase of memories and many other "props" to give transform their marquee into a vintage-feel village fete.

Flamed Foods Co. prepared a bespoke BBQ menu, to include beautifully soft and blushing grilled whole leg of lamb, marinated with rosemary and fresh garlic, and also grilled king prawns with a chimichurri glaze.

Each guest brought a different dessert, which filled 4 large tables (!!!!) and guests enjoyed sampling and judging eachothers in a village fete style.

We kept the bar flowing with chilled drinks, and our friendly staff looked after the guests well into the night!

GLITZ & GLAMOUR AT PENDLEY MANOR!

2011-03-15T09:59:00.003Z

This 50th Birthday Party at Pendley Manor was certainly something a little different...

Our customer arranged this very glitzy Party for his wife, and transformed the Ballroom at Pendley Manor into a Nightclub themed venue, for their 140 guests to get glammed up and Party the night away in. The venue dressers are associated with Formula One Parties, so this really was a night to remember. A focal point was the huge ice stiletto sculpture, which our customer had commissioned especially for his wife.

We arrived at Pendley Manor early in the day to start preparing our evening menu. We provided a hog roast for this Party, and as we freshly cook our pigs at the event, it meant we had many hours of roasting ahead of us. We time this cooking period so that when the menu is due to be served, the meat is juicy and falls apart, and the crackling is crisp and crunchy.

While the pig was roasting, we were constantly kept amused by the 12 resident peacocks at Pendley Manor, that roam the grounds and provide an amazing sight when they fan their tails and give their surprisingly loud call.

A great Party, and it shows how roasting and BBQ'ing is always a perfect option at any time of the year!

LATE SUMMER WEDDING - SEPT 2010

2010-09-22T20:45:00.004+01:00

Micklefield Hall was the perfect setting for this late summer Wedding. We kept our fingers and toes crossed that the weather would be just right for the Bride and Groom, and we were not let down.

The marquee was the main venue for the Wedding Day, however guests were really treated with a view of the inside of the main house, as they walked from the main entrance, through the reception rooms to the top patio, where arrival drinks of Pimm's & Lemonade, bubbly cold Prosecco and Sparkling Elderflower cordial awaited them.

We served four different handmade canapes, two of them hot and freshly cooked at the top patio giving guests the mouthwatering smell, and also a presentable working kitchen, watching their canapes being prepared and made.

Guests enjoyed a walk down the rolling landscape of Micklefield Hall's lawned garden, across a beautifully decorated bridge, to their marquee. The marquee was dressed sumptuously with elegant tall floral table displays, and a fully laid table complete with side plates, a selection of glasses and linen napkins. A whole wall of the marquee was glazed, giving guests amazing uninterrupted views of the stunning scenery at Micklefield Hall.

The Bride and Groom had chosen a bespoke BBQ menu, following a taster session at Micklefield Hall earlier in 2010, finished with our homemade mini rich dark chocolate tarts and fresh summer fruit pavlovas. Their evening was completed with a selection of cheeses, mixed crackers, grapes, fresh bread and our homemade incredible mango chutney. We selected the specific selection of cheeses with our local cheese expert, and chose an all English selection of Colston Bassett Baby Blue Stilton, Wookey Hole Cave Aged Cheddar, Somerset Brie and Wobbly Bottom Goat's Cheese with Nettles.

We completed their Wedding with our "everything but the drinks" drinks package, which provided a comprehensive service to include dedicated bar staff to serve arrival drinks, serve Wedding Breakfast drinks, manage a bar throughout the day and evening, and ensure each guest was looked after and their tables kept nice and tidy. We also provided the bar serving area, all refrigeration, and the required drink garnishes and ice. This service gave the Bride and Groom the flexibility to choose the quantity and selection of their own drinks, with Flamed Foods Co. providing the professional service to match.

A very impressive Wedding at a very impressive venue.

A CHRISTENING BBQ - SEPT 2010

2010-09-22T19:29:00.006+01:00

This Christening BBQ was in the sunny back garden of a beautiful house in Chalfont St Giles.

We set our preparation and cooking area as a focal point in their garden, and not only served a delicious freshly grilled BBQ menu with the complimenting yummy and satisfying desserts, we also provided sparkling glasses for their drinks and freshly brewed tea and coffee to really finish their menu.

As there was a guest who is gluten intolerant, we provided our Butcher's handmade gluten free sausages for all guests, and they are that juicy and tasty, that none of the guests could tell the difference!

These photos will give any potential customers a really good idea of how we can fit neatly and presentably into a garden, and add something truly special to their garden party.

A MODERN AND STYLISH WEDDING, WITH ALL THE TRADITIONAL CHARM - SEPT 2010

2010-09-22T18:32:00.009+01:00

This Wedding in Little Missenden was set in the extensive back garden of The Crown pub. It was the perfect combination of a modern and stylishly dressed marquee, with black and white as the main theme with splashes of hot pink and fiery orange in the floral arrangements on each table, with the traditional charm of an English country pub.

We arranged our smart and professional preparation and cooking area next to the main walkway up to the entrance of their marquee, so that every guest could see us preparing and cooking their dishes and smell the wonderful scent of food grilling on our coal barbeques. Many guests came to see us for a closer look, and we had some great conversations regarding our dishes, and the ingredients they contained, and also what we were doing with them.

We served their bespoke barbeque menu, which contained a lovely juicy prawn skewer that we also added some large grilled whole prawns to, to give guests the real wow factor, which was followed by our indulgent Oreo Cheesecake and our Gooey, Chewy, Crispy and Crunchy meringues, and then the guests were entertained again by us cooking a fresh Paella and it certainly helped soak up some alcohol later in the evening!

A really lovely Wedding, and although there were 120 guests, it felt intimate and special.

OUR FUSION WEDDING - AUGUST 2010

2010-08-10T14:59:00.004+01:00

We catered for this Wedding in Olney which was a true fusion of something beautifully pretty and English, with the exciting flavours and textures of the med.

The setting was a beautful old stone house, with history of being part of the old tannery in Olney, with the marquee placed in it's pretty walled garden.

We served canapes on arrival, a delicious anti pasti starter plate featuring of our Butcher's own charcuterie, freshly made Paella and our gooey, chewy, crispy and crunchy homemade meringues, summer berries and vanilla cream. This menu was served to guests at their table.

The weather wasn't always on our side, but we braved the rain, and the guests would never have known with our seamless and professional service with smiles on our faces!

A LOVELY SUMMER WEDDING @ NETHER WINCHENDON HOUSE - JULY 2010

2010-07-20T19:49:00.013+01:00

We were delighted to be part of this Wedding at Nether Winchendon House. An absolutely stunning surrounding for this beautiful Wedding.

We initially served our handmade canapes with glasses of Champagne at the Bride and Groom's house, a few miles from their reception venue. They had their ceremony in their garden, chairs laid formally on their lawn, in a very pretty country walled garden. Our staff we're on hand to look after guests, and after the ceremony, they served canapes on platters with glasses of cold bubbly Champagne.

From there the guests left our Bride and Groom's house in a vintage bus, and arrived at Nether Winchendon House to a walk down their impressive gravelled driveway, through the orchard, to the terrace with impressive gardens. Our staff were waiting to serve glasses of Pimm's & Lemonade, and also our homemade traditional cloudy Lemonade, to quench their thirst on this sunny afternoon sitting overlooking the beautiful gardens at Nether Winchendon House.

On part of the grounds, a marquee was set in a walled garden where the guests were welcomed to a beautifully laid table, where they would enjoy speeches, Champagne to toast, a grilled summer lunch menu, our homemade meringues, English strawberries and whipped vanilla cream, with wine that had been chosen specifically to match their menu served throughout.

Instead of our usual buffet-style service, our staff served guests at their table, and we placed platters of each dish along the tables encouraging guests to pass platters to each other, and interact as they enjoyed this freshly prepared and grilled menu.

A really lovely touch was that instead of having a Wedding cake, the Bride and Groom had asked guests to make and bring a cake, which would be judged by the children in a country fayre style awarding the favourites with a 3rd, 2nd and 1st place. We then served these cakes along the centre of the tables with tea and coffee, using the specifically choosen vintage plates, cutlery, napkins, cups and saucers.

As the evening guests arrived, and the band started, we served a freshly spit roasted whole pig, with homemade apple sauce, our finger-licking BBQ sauce, and garlic and rosemary sauteed potatoes.

GARDEN WEDDING RECEPTION - JULY 2010

2010-07-20T19:30:00.008+01:00

This Wedding reception was simple, pretty, and set in the Bride and Groom's garden in Tingewick. This couple wanted to focus on what was really important to them - their friends and family. This is why they invited them to share their Wedding reception at their home, served a delicious BBQ menu, and guests enjoyed good music, good drinks, good company in beautiful surroundings.

VILLAGE HALL WEDDING - Saturday 26th June 2010

2010-06-30T11:07:00.011+01:00

We provided the menu for this Wedding held at Wing Village Hall. A lovely little traditional village hall, with polished wood floors and a high vaulted ceiling in the main hall.

For this event we worked with a mobile bar company, who set up a very stylish white gloss and steel bar, alongside our dressed serving tables.

This Bride and Groom (and their guests!), enjoyed a delciously tasty hog roast menu with tender and juicy meat, and the crisp and crunchy crackling to compliment. Served with a selection of our homemade side dishes (new potato salad, crunchy coleslaw, lemony cous cous and dressed mixed leaves), and also the option of either tradtional apple sauce or our homemade finger licking BBQ sauce with mature English cheddar cheese (just for something that little bit different). We also removed the whole roast pork tenderloin, and served this directly to the top table. It's definitely my favourite cut of pork.

We served for dessert our crispy, crunchy, gooey and chewy homemade merigues (made with all our own chicken's eggs), mixed summer berries, white Malteasers and whipped double cream - Mmmmmm........

The evening was finished (or started for some!), with a simple but an all freshly made menu, including lemon, garlic and thyme roast chicken drumsticks, a selection of filled soft rolls, homemade sausage rolls with buttery puff pastry, a selection of crisps and a mixed salad.

A lovely pink, pink summer Wedding.

CHRISTENING BBQ - Sunday 20th June 2010

2010-06-30T10:52:00.004+01:00

What a lovely day! This Christening Party was set in a garden in Chalfont St. Giles, and was a perfect tea party with a beautifully laid table, complete with fresh garden flowers and dressed with pretty blue bunting.

We recommended a local cake maker (Let Them Eat Cake, Leighton Buzzard), who made a beautifully simple but pretty Christening cake, that we collected and delivered on the day of their event. We laid a drinks serving table with polished and sparkly champagne flutes, wine glassed and tumblers for the customers chilled drinks, and made their party that bit more special with our freshly grilled BBQ menu. Our serving table was stylishly and smartly dressed with a white linen cloth and black table runner, with all our white china serving dishes.

Finished with fresh summer berries and cream, what is more perfect of a hot summer's day than that?!

MERCESDES BENZ CABRIOLET PROMOTION WEEKEND

2010-06-30T10:34:00.003+01:00

Mercedes Benz invited us to be part of their cabriolet promotion weekend, and serve their customers over Saturday and Sunday with a BBQ menu and drinks selection.

Their event started with a charity bike ride on the Saturday. People taking part started their day well with our Butcher's smoked on the premises bacon in rolls, served with a big glug of fresh juices. Throughout the day customers had been personally invited to test drive some of Mercedes most beautiful cars, and were treated with a freshly grilled BBQ menu and kept cold on a hot day with a glass of Pimm's & Lemonade, White Wine or a choice of soft drinks. After a gruelling 40 mile bike ride, the cyclists arrived back late in the afternoon to put their feet up, enjoy some delicious BBQ food and drink cold beers and cold drinks.

As always, it is great to be part a Mercedes event, and this one was certainly no different. We all enjoyed a really good weekend with the staff at their dealership.

A FRENCH & NIGERIAN WEDDING

2010-05-24T18:41:00.006+01:00

We provided the full package for this French and Nigerian Wedding for 300 in Hackney, London. The Round Chapel is a very special venue, with loads of atomsphere and character. With a French Bride and Nigerian Groom, there was a real mix of cultures, however every aspect was looked at from the start to the end, and the result was truely perfect. We met with the Bride and Groom (and their families) twice at the venue, and kept planning and planning each part of their Wedding until it was exactly what they wanted. We provided the arrival drinks and canapes for all guests, a delicious hog roast with a selection of fresh side salads for 100 guests, all the beautiful desserts and sweet treats, cheese and then coffee for all guests. Throughout the evening we also provided a simple but well presented and stocked bar, complete with all the staff to provide a friendly and professional service. We were delighted to be involved with this Wedding, and the energy, laughter, enjoyment and general fun from the all guests made this really memorable.

A FRENCH & NIGERIAN WEDDING

2010-05-24T18:33:00.004+01:00

Our staff we're always on hand to serve guests from our buffet and bar areas, and also throughout the main hall to make sure that although there were 300 guests, they would each feel looked after and taken care of.

A SAUCY WEDDING

2010-05-24T18:15:00.005+01:00

Flamed Foods Co. provided the catering for this beautful and rather unique Wedding in Milton Keynes. A lovely selection of canapes served for guests on arrival (the sweetcorn fritters were a huge hit!), a bespoke BBQ menu with our BBQ prep/cooking area just outside the buffet area with guests able to view the BBQ cooking all their freshly cooked dishes, and then a wonderful selection of homemade desserts with all the naughty trimmings. However, the naughtiest part of the evening would certainly be the burlesque dancer show to finish their day! A great Wedding, and we really enjoying being part of it.

LOCAL BRITISH MEATS - BEST BUTCHERS

2010-05-20T22:54:00.005+01:00

Since we created Flamed Foods Co. we never wanted to compromise any of our personal beliefs by serving menus to larger numbers of guests, and sacrifice the quality and taste of really wonderful food. This is why we never cut corners, and in fact in many instances, take more painstaking and deliberately longer ways of doing something, just to ensure that we never serve anything that falls below our initial standard. From the start we worked with a fantastic local Butcher, who supplies local meats. These are all British, and I can honestly say I am always impressed with the quality, texture and flavour of any meats that he supplies. He is adventurous with new techniques and interesting speciality meats, so is a brilliant asset to our business.

65TH BIRTHDAY PARTY

2010-05-20T21:43:00.002+01:00

Flamed Foods Co. served amazing speciality roast meat choices for this 65th Birthday Party. Using our hog roast machine to roast these meats until crisp on the outside while the meat was juicy and tender, we were a real focal point to this garden party visually and aromatically. We served our Butcher's Porchetta - whole pork loin and belly, marbled with smoked peppers, fennel, garlic and fresh herbs. We also roast two legs of local Lamb, marinated in fresh rosemary and garlic. Put these with our lemony feta cous cous with toasted almonds, dressed new potatoes and a simple tomato and balsamic salad, you have a winning combination for super satisfying food! We finished the evening with our homemade meringues, summer berries and whipped vanilla cream and also fresh lemon tart. We will be expanding the range of delicious roast meats we offer in this way, so please contact us with your requirements.

DINNER BBQ PARTY

2010-05-06T21:11:00.005+01:00

On a windy and cold day, Flamed Foods Co. provided a three course menu with flavours to warm the soul and spice up the party. We provided a selection of canape appetisers, our Flavour of Asia menu, and then our wonderful homemade meringues made into summer pavlovas and indulgent mini rich dark chocolate tarts. We served this all to a small dinner party gathering at their beautifully dressed table (indoors!), provided all the serving china, and then cleared and packed everything away not leaving a trace of our BBQ preparation area (or any washing up!!). All this without the host having to worry about a menu, shopping list or even getting her oven dirty.

40TH BIRTHDAY PARTY

2010-05-06T21:03:00.004+01:00

We couldn't have planned better weather in late April for this 40th Birthday Party. It was lovely. Our clients created their own bespoke menu, featuring spring lamb rump steaks and our herby marinated chicken, with grilled whole flat field mushrooms and marinated pepper & halloumi parcels, with side salads to match. It was a real family affair, with our BBQ and serving area a focal point in their back garden.

Feedback from this client:

"The service you & Tom provided was first class - from our first meeting to the setting up, delicious food & tidying up afterwards. You were both very professional but also friendly & approachable & added greatly to a memorable event.

I would be very happy to use your services again and would recommend you to anyone, & would gladly act as a reference if you ever need one.

Wishing you both best wishes with your venture - you definitely deserve to be successful."

PAELLA!

2010-04-30T09:55:00.003+01:00

Flamed Foods Co. freshly cook Paella from scratch at your event in our traditional Spanish Paella Pan. Our favourite is chicken, our Butcher's handmade chorizo and king prawn. So tasty and smoky, and full of fresh flavours. We have recently served this at a 17th Birthday Party, and previously as a sit down Wedding Breakfast with a Tapas-Style starter, but it is also fantastic as an evening Wedding menu to feed larger numbers of guests. Paella works brilliantly in these eco friendly wooden boats for guests on the move (as shown in the photo), but we can also serve it with china.

Delicious in the summer with a piece of fresh Baker's bread, a wedge of lemon and a good sprinkle of freshly picked garden parsley.

A FLAMED FOODS CO. DINNER PARTY

2010-04-28T13:45:00.002+01:00

We recenlty provided an intimate three course menu for 13 guests in Wellingborough. We have to admit that this was a first for Flamed Foods Co, but loved the oppertunity to be more of a focal point in a small private gathering, where guests were involved in our preparation and delivery of the different courses. Being able to offer this service is unique for many caterers, but particulary for BBQ specialists, who usually cater for larger guest numbers. We were able to prepare and plate the canapes in front of the guests, have the BBQ provide atmosphere at the forefront of a warm and sunny evening, and then prepare and plate desserts with the guests involved in the whole delivery of our service. We are already providing another three course Dinner Party BBQ for another customer, so think we will be adding this as a permanent service!

Please see the feedback from this customer:

Good Morning Camilla and Tom,

Many thanks for Saturday night, we and all our friends had a lovely evening. The buffet you provided was exceptionally tasty and expertly presented. The two ‘stand out’ items were the canapés with the caramelised onions on top (according to my son who apparently ate most of them ;-) and the meringues which were absolutely fabulous.

The service was unobtrusive and highly professional – I think that you may have guessed, from the requests for your business cards that several of our friends are looking to book you up for their upcoming celebrations.

Look forward to seeing you again soon
Kind Regards
Sharon

FRESH BAKERS BREAD

2010-03-05T12:08:00.002Z

Flamed Foods Co. are pleased to announce they now work with a local Baker for all their bread. Our search was a long one for a local Baker who makes all their bread from scratch on the premises, but we're thrilled to have now found one who can supply us with a wide range on delicious fresh bread.
From soft white rolls and seeded buns, to French bagettes and various speciality breads. The above photo is a bespoke multi seeded display piece, consisting of 10 rolls for a tear-and-share delivery. These were beautiful, and had a lovely crunchy crust with a soft bread inside. They also smelt lovely!
If you would like a specific bread selection please let us know at time of booking.

HOT CANAPE/APPETISER TRIAL

2010-03-05T11:16:00.003Z

We are really excited about this new addition to our canape selection.

We have trialed serving hot grilled meats, that are succulent and juicy, full of flavour and completely blew us away!

They are delicious bite-sized pieces, but offer a more substancial canape, which would be an ideal pre main menu appetiser.

These photos show Pork Tenderloin Ribbons (marinated in soy, ginger and orange), Seasoned Grilled Lamb (drizzled with yoghurt and fresh garden mint), Seared Beef Strip (juicy rump steak grilled & brushed with wholegrain mustard), Grilled Chicken Breast (finished with a parmesan, basil and pinenut pesto) and Spiced Lamb Skewer (grilled neck fillet and apricot with a Moroccan style rub).

These will definitely be added to our existing menu, and we're trialing new combinations already!

MERCEDES BENZ CHARITY EVENING & CHRISTMAS PARTY

2009-12-07T14:08:00.004Z

We were asked by Mercedes Benz Bedford to work with them for two consecutive nights for two different events.

They cleared their showroom except for a beautiful Mercedes SL, and we transformed their showroom into a real party venue. We worked with their requirements to arrange all the venue dressings including silver chairs with navy pads (to compliment their showroom's colour theme), all tables, linen, glass ware and china. We also transformed their reception desk into a bar, and provided the chilling for their drinks.

They chose a hog roast for each evening with sauteed potatoes, parsnips, carrots and onions, with homemade apricot and almond stuffing and homemade apple sauce. It was delicious, and enjoyed by everyone.

We also served a British cheeseboard for the Charity Evening, and a beautiful mini Christmas dessert selection for their Chritsmas Party the following evening.

We really enjoyed our time working with Mercedes and all their staff, and look forward to working with them again soon.

HOG / SPIT ROAST MENUS

2009-11-25T17:54:00.004Z

Flamed Foods Co. are now offering delicious spit / hog roast menus.

Our spit / hog roast menus are no different to our barbeque menus, and therefore ensure local succulent and flavoursome meats, accompanied with fresh side dishes that are all made from scratch by us.

We take great pride in offering something just that little bit different, and can offer a range of meats from our spit roast machine, including mouthwateringly tasty hand pulled pork with our homemade finger-licking BBQ sauce.

Please find some more information at http://www.flamedfoods.co.uk/Menus/sub_menus/hog_roast.html and contact us with your requirements.

We then served our crispy but gooey homemade meringues with berries, whipped cream with a touch of vanilla, and white Malteasers. Their evening guests enjoyed a classic BBQ of handmade 100% beef burgers and handmade "proper" American hot dogs, with onions softened in butter, salad and sauces. It was a great party, and the band got everyone dancing into the night!

FAMILY FUN DAY, WOLVERTON PARK - 12TH SEPTEMBER 2009

2009-09-14T20:07:00.002+01:00

We were part of the Wolverton Park Family Fun Day. We enjoyed a lovely hot sunny day serving members of the public who had attended this event. Wolverton Park is a historical site for the railway, and this development marries Victorian coach sheds, with modern apartments, and does it with the great respect and creative design. This family day hosted street entertainers, a falconry display, traditional helter skelter, live music and other activities for adults and children to take part in. It was a really enjoyable day to be part of.

18TH BIRTHDAY PARTY - 5TH SEPTEMBER 2009

2009-09-14T19:54:00.003+01:00

We delivered a bespoke menu for this Birthday Party, in which the client provided her own meats and we grilled these and provided the accompanying salads and dessert. Although this isn't something we usually do, our client did have strong moral standards about using her local butcher and so on this occasion we made the menu to suit her needs. We also provided the china, cutlery and glass hire, which we display, collect, and take with us as a return as a dirty service. We provided three desserts to include our rich dark chocolate tart, our homemade meringues and our fresh lemon tart. The lemon tart was a huge hit, with a young girl enjoying three pieces!!

TAPAS & SALSA NIGHT - 4TH SEPTEMBER 2009

2009-09-14T19:41:00.003+01:00

We created this tapas menu to compliment a salsa night. We provided a combination of hot barbecued dishes, with cold dishes, to give a real Mediterranean feel to the evening and compliment the sangria!

SURPRISE 50TH BIRTHDAY PARTY - 29TH AUGUST 2009

2009-09-14T19:22:00.003+01:00

We were invited to provide the catering for this surprise 50th Birthday Party. We served Our Classic BBQ menu for lunch, and then returned in the evening to provide another menu. On this occasion we served homemade pizzas, which we cooked in the client's oven and served hot, and also a selection of delicious fresh sandwiches. As a barbeque catering company we don't often get asked to provide these types of menus, but as you can see we are always flexible, and can ensure that we always try to meet what our customers require.

SUMMER BBQ - 25TH JULY 2009

2009-07-27T12:08:00.003+01:00

We provided our Summer BBQ menu for this client, which was certainly full of all the flavours of summer. We also finished this menu with the ultimate of summer desserts - homemade meringues, strawberries and whipped cream with a touch of vanilla. We also served Malteasers as they are a fantastic addition to this dessert (however as the light was fading some guests did think they were black olives - not even Heston Blumenthal would put those flavours together!). A great menu and it really gave a good atmosphere to this summer gathering.

WEDDING CONTINUED - 23RD JULY 2009

2009-07-24T12:15:00.002+01:00

We provided the catering for this Wedding at a beautiful venue, St Katherine's. We prepared a selection of canapes, served to the guests on arrival, BBQ Wedding Breakfast, Desserts, Tea & Coffee and also an evening Paella. It was a great day. Our clients chose the Hearty Feast menu to really make this a sumputious dinner, plus the addition of grilled Asparagus wrapped in Pancetta, a dressed Broad Bean Salad and BBQ'd whole Sea Bream. We then prepared mini Dark Chocolate Tarts, and Homemade mini Meringues with Cream and Seasonal Fruit, on feature plates which were served to each table. Their evening guests enjoyed Paella cooked freshly in front of them.

60TH BIRTHDAY - 12TH JULY 2009

2009-07-21T19:19:00.003+01:00

PAELLA!!

As Flamed Foods Co. is a company that thinks outside the box, we don't stick to just the stereotypical barbequed dishes. We also use our fantastic BBQ to provide many other mouthwatering foods. For this 60th Birthday we cooked Paella from scratch infront of the guests, and complimented this with some fresh salads, olives and nuts. The guests were very involved in the process of preparing and cooking this wonderful dish, and the results tasted even better. We really enjoy cooking Paella, and it is a dish that you can personalise with almost any ingredients you like! We used smoked streaky bacon, chorizo, chicken, fresh tiger prawns and live mussels.

FAMILY SUMMER BBQ - 11TH JULY 2009

2009-07-21T19:06:00.003+01:00

This was a Family Summer BBQ held in Bierton near Aylesbury. This customer and their guests enjoyed our Classic BBQ menu, and substituted the coleslaw for our tomato and basil salad. Our flamed chicken pieces marinated in our homemade smoky BBQ marinade were a real winner! They finished this menu with these lovely mini homemade meringues with strawberries, and cupcakes that were finished with lime & blueberry and milk chocolate & marshmallow. DELICIOUS!

ENERGIE SUMMER BBQ - 10TH JULY 2009

2009-07-21T18:55:00.004+01:00

This was the annual summer BBQ for Energie Fitness Clubs. They enjoyed our Classic BBQ menu which was beautifully finished with our homemade meringues and rich dark chocolate tart. This was held at Liscombe Park, which is a great venue, and we had a really good time there.

40TH BIRTHDAY PARTY - 4TH JULY 2009

This was a 40th Birthday Party that we travelled to Bourne End to provide the catering for. We worked with the client, who fancied a Greek themed menu, and provided a menu full of lovely Greek flavours. Mediterranean Sausages handmade to our specification by our butcher, Lamb Koftas, Chicken & Pork Souvlaki, Greek Salad, Tzatiki........hmmmm. Our client wanted both our homemade meringues and rich dark chocolate tart, which were served as a mini portion size. The addition of Malteasers made these desserts a real winner with both the adults and children!

The National Energy Foundation invited us to provide the catering for their 10th Anniversary. We spent a very hot lunch at Campbell Park in Milton Keynes celebrating this with a our delicious Classic BBQ menu. Everyone had seconds (and some even thirds!), and all the bowls and platters were left spotless. A very enjoyable event.

A private work BBQ for Hubwoo. They enjoyed our Hearty Feast menu, with butchers sausages and handmade beef burgers. At this time of year our lamb is coming from Woburn, which is literally on our doorstep! They also finished their menu with our homemade meringues with summer berries and cream. We made these using eggs from our own chickens. It was a lovely event which was well enjoyed by all the guests.

DVD 2009 EVENT - DYTECNA 24th & 25th July 2009

This was a two day event based at Millbrook. It is a military trade show, and we were asked to provide the catering services specifically for Dytecna who were an individual company exhibiting there. We served senior military professionals cold drinks and lunch, which was well received by everyone. We had a fantastic time and hope to share this with Dytecna and their team next year!

These little cupcakes were made for a recent booking, and we couldn't resist showing them off on this page.

Delicious vanilla cupcakes with lime cream cheese, topped with a blueberry, and milk chocolate butter icing finished with a white chocolate button.

They went down very well, and the plates were clean!

At Flamed Foods Co. we take our desserts seriously.

As with all our other dishes, we ensure that only the best ingredients are used as this guarantees delicious flavours and textures. We have our own chickens, and where possible their eggs are used in our desserts to compliment our mouthwatering BBQ menus.

You will find our current favourite dessert selection on the "Additions" page of our website, but if you have favourites of your own please contact us and we will aim to create you a bespoke dessert.

What a beautiful selection of seedlings!

As you can see our seedlings are developing into little plants, and before long we are hoping that they will be filling our menus with some real delights.

We use our own produce where possible, but elsewhere we use fantastic local producers who supply excellent quality ingredients, that really make the difference to making our dishes so special.
