Catering Every Celebration with Style and Flavour

EFFORTLESS HOSTING, UNFORGETTABLE FLAVOUR

Life’s most meaningful moments deserve to be celebrated with style, and shared over extraordinary food. Whether you’re planning a milestone birthday, an intimate dinner party, an anniversary, a wake, or a private celebration just because, Milkshed brings restaurant-quality dining to your chosen setting.

With over 20 years of experience in catering, we curate bespoke menus and seamless service for gatherings of all sizes - from elegant at-home dinners to lavish garden parties and everything in between. Our approach is personal, our standards are exacting, and our goal is always the same: to make your celebration effortless, memorable, and uniquely yours.

WHAT WE OFFER

  • Tailored Menus: We have some lovely sample menus below but we are equally happy to craft a more bespoke menu around your tastes, preferences, and the occasion.

  • Private Chefs & Service Teams: Professional, discreet, and detail-focused - your Chef will prepare and cook a delicious meal, and our waiting staff will serve drinks, lay the table and serve and clear each course. We leave you with a clean kitchen at the end of the evening so you can put your feet up and relax.

  • At-Home Dining Experiences: From plated dinners to lavish feasting tables, we can discuss and provide the right experience for you and your guests.

  • Themed & Seasonal Menus: Perfect for holidays, special occasions, or just because!

  • Flexible Locations: Your own home, a venue you have hired or a holiday home you’ve rented - some lovely options for this are Earnshill House, The Big House Co, Dillington Estate, Malherbie Group Stays and Sleeps 12 amongst others but we are very happy to cater somewhere completely new too.

Whether you envisage a relaxed evening with friends or a show-stopping dinner with beautifully styled courses, we’ll take care of every detail, from the first canapés to the final toast. All you need to do is enjoy the moment!

 MENUS

We have two sample menus, both showcasing the best produce that the South West has to offer. We invite you to select from one of these menus and then choose two options per course for guests to pre-order from. Alternatively, if you are celebrating something super special and would like us to create a more bespoke menu for you, we will be very happy to do so.
