Here we prepared breakfast, lunch and dinner for over 600 hungry petrol heads, we even ran their busy onsite bar for 24 hours during race night. Relish's Director Rob Goves sourced local produce in France to use within the recipes during the event, meaning the team just had to arrive with a kitchen in the back on an arctic lorry, which they build onsite.

Client Testimonial ~
Now things have calmed down after all the excitement – I wanted to say a huge thank you to you and your team for your efforts onsite. The food was most certainly a highlight of the event, really remarkable – especially with coming on board with such little notice. In addition, the way your team reacted to the challenges mother nature threw at us on the final day was impressive. Any opportunity we have to work with you guys again – we will most certainly be snapping it up. Do stay in touch!

Jane Roche - Manager at Land Rover
Since viewing a rather shabby decommissioned Boeing 747 cargo aircraft at a windswept Kemble airfield and knowing with some imagination and a great team of people, we could transform it into a rather special restaurant. I cannot believe that 2 months later we have hosted over 1200 International media and Jaguar Land Rover Executives on a hugely successful Global launch of Range Rover Sport.
Relish had the vision to take the risk to work with us and deliver exceptional food and service in a rather difficult environment and the team at Relish have each played a part in that success, from the staff behind the scenes, to the chef’s creating such superb quality food daily and your professional and delightful staff serving on the aircraft each day.
Everyone embraced what JLR were trying to achieve with positive and professional attitudes and always with a smile. You and your team were a pleasure to work with and each of them should be congratulated on being great ambassadors for Relish and to your great style of management. Please pass on our sincerest thanks, they should all be hugely proud of themselves for all that they achieved.
In 2016, OVO had a festival theme summer party for their staff and families with 1000 guests. During the day, we served interactive food with build your own Fruit Kebabs and Baz & Fred pizza. The party had a rustic teepee backdrop for dinner where they could choose from Pulled Lamb Shoulder with Sticky Pomegranate Glaze & Mint Tzatziki Yoghurt, Gumbo with Chicken & Chorizo and Roast Pepper & Halloumi Skewers with Harissa & Fresh Lemon on a base of Caribbean Rice & Peas, all theatrically served from giant paella pans. The evening ended with toasted marshmallows around the camp fire!
We also wanted to stay in keeping with OVO's theme of green energy, so we used biodegradable plates, kraft recycled napkins and the straws were paper too!

Dear Philippa,
I would like to thank you and your superb team so much for the excellent food that Relish supplied at the Blenheim Horse Trials last week. Your mother told me that you did the catering at Badminton, and your food was definitely the best that we have ever had.
The standard over the four days, from the roast pork, salmon and roast beef, was superb!
With all best wishes,
The Duke of Marlborough
I would work with Rob and his team at Relish again in a heart beat. Asking them to cook recipes from my book for 100 people meant I was trusting them with my reputation. Their attention to detail, communication skills and all round professionalism guaranteed a brilliant event.
