Zafferano's Summer Collection

Zafferano has designed a series of one-off summer party concepts for a diverse set of diplomatic, entertainment, corporate and sporting clients.

A show-stopping reception for Cameron Mackintosh marked the move of Les Miserables to the Queens Theatre. Lavish canapés using luxury ingredients delighted guests at this glamorous after show party.

When a new Buenos Aires hotel staged its UK launch party at the fabulous residence of the Argentine Ambassador, Zafferano conceived a truly patriotic celebration. A menu of national delicacies and wines from the Alamos Ridge provided the perfect complement for a dramatic tango display. Other corporate clients have incorporated similar thoughtful extras to create the right ambience for their event. At Gresham VC's summer party, Zafferano cast a team of models to pour the Veuve Cliquot.

Private clients have also been extending imaginative and generous hospitality to their friends. Celebrity guests at a garden bat-mitzvah party enjoyed the freshest and simplest of seasonal ingredients in intimate and informal surroundings. In contrast, a well-known author held his thirtieth birthday party at Dr Johnson's House, an atmospheric eighteenth century building in Gough Square. Zafferano's five course dinner was perfectly complemented by fine wines served in gold rimmed goblets, exquisite table settings and glorious arrangements of tumbling country garden flowers.

'Food, wine, venue and entertainment have come together in very different ways at our recent events to ensure that guests enjoyed a memorable evening.' says Vivienne Gonley, director of Zafferano. 'Our clients are not interested in identikit catering, however lavish, and it is our priority that every aspect of an event is original, appropriate and completely enjoyable.'
