Would you like to do something different for your annual Christmas dinner get together? Why not book an exclusive meal designed just for you and your guests?
We have recently applied for a premises licence so we can offer private dining events in Devon, designed just for you. From fine dining to informal buffet we can offer you an event tailored to your exact requirements. What better ingredients for a great night out than beautiful venue, delicious food, fantastic company and a few drinks? You can’t beat it!
Whether it is for a team night out, a bit of a celebration or a get together with family or friends we can design a bespoke menu just for you.
We offer a range of wines, beers and ciders for sale and they can be included in the price per head or bought on the night.
If you are thinking about planning a culinary Christmas Party or an event in the new year drop us a line. We have kept aside Friday and Saturday evenings in December, but bookings will be taken on a first come first serve basis, so don’t delay, come and have a chat with us. We will ask for a deposit to be paid on booking and then payment in full 2 weeks prior to your event.
Delicious hassle free dinner parties with no clearing up afterwards! Of course it doesn’t have to be a Christmas Party, we can cater for that special Birthday Party or even a Hen or Stag do with a difference.
If you want to talk through your options ring us on 01647 782022 or drop us an email info@groundupcookery.co.uk.
