Spring Showcase at The Barn at Botley Hill
Earlier this month we headed down to The Barn at Botley Hill for their Spring Showcase, and it was one of those days that just clicked.
Botley does that thing where the view steals the show at first, but then the food quietly starts to demand your attention. You’re mid conversation, torn between the Surrey Hills and whatever’s just landed on your plate.
We kept things loose and easy. Guests wandered, explored and ate as they went. Pannise with garlic aioli, steak tartare croustades, then straight outside to the OFYR where steak sandwiches with chimichurri and provolone were coming off the fire, alongside charred aubergine versions.
The mini dessert table had its own moment, with burnished lemon meringue tarts, chocolate crémeux and margarita inspired spheres.
It also marked something bigger for us. From 2027 we will be Botley’s exclusive caterer, alongside launching our new fire kitchen with live cooking over wood, which fits the vibe of the venue and its location perfectly.
A great venue, a great fit, and plenty more to come.
“Botley Hill Barn is one of those rare venues that immediately feels special, not just because of the setting, but because of how naturally everything comes together. Having been closely involved with the team for over two years, it’s been exciting to see this partnership take shape. The showcase was a brilliant reflection of what’s possible on site, relaxed, thoughtful and full of energy. Looking ahead to being their exclusive caterer and bringing the fire kitchen to life, it feels like a natural next step and the beginning of something we’ve been building towards for a long time.”
