TABLE TALK'S DEBUT EVENT AT GUIDHALL

Table Talk, in collaboration with Sift Media, proudly hosted its debut event at Guildhall this month, serving food for the UK Public Sector Digital Awards Dinner. The 15th century building created a grand setting for the evening which was enhanced as the Company of Pikemen and Musketeers paraded into the drinks reception. Highlights from the award presentation and dinner included a video message from The Deputy Prime Minister Rt. Hon Nick Clegg as well as an informative speech by The Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude.

VINTAGE EVENING AT RALPH LAUREN

Table Talk served a selection of bespoke canapés including corn muffins with a guacamole and tomato salsa and mini beef Wellingtons with foie gras parfait, all inspired by Ricky Lauren's new Double RL cookbook. The night of Historic Cars and RRL Ranch photographs at the RRL store on Mount Street, celebrated Ralph Lauren's vintage-inspired line with Fiskens vintage automobiles parked outside the store. We put a bespoke spin on a classic Old Fashioned creating a Double RL house cocktail which went down a storm with the trendy vintage-clad guests.

PRIVATE DINNER AT THE COURTAULD GALLERY

The spectacular Courtauld Gallery played host to Table Talk’s first event of the year.  Steeped in history and full of cultural delights, this stunning venue located within Somerset House, displays instantly recognisable artworks by masters including Vincent Van Gogh and Paul Gauguin. Guests dined on a delicious feast of seared yellow fin tuna, roast Casterbridge beef and Bakewell tart with iced pear mousse and declared the menu a modern masterpiece.

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS AT STELLA MCCARTNEY

The sparkling event, bursting with A-list celebrities, saw Emma Bunton and Jennifer Saunders (who was dressed as Ab Fab’s ‘Eddie’) switch on the eco-friendly Christmas lights at Stella McCartney’s Bruton Street store. Stella, who will be appearing in one of the new episodes of Absolutely Fabulous, looked stunning as she welcomed her guests to the star-studded event. Table Talk served an array of drinks including a warming mulled wine which spread a festive aroma throughout the store. A traditional hot chocolate and roast chestnut stall, outside the entrance, added to the evening of fun and frivolities. While the eclectic who's who of iconic guests from the fashion industry and the arts, including Sir Paul McCartney, Alexa Chung, Dame Kelly Holmes, Sir Bob Geldof and Kate Moss ensured that this event was a dazzling start to the festive season.

FIENDISH FUN AT ONE MAYFAIR

International business law firm, Lawrence Graham, broke the mould by opting for a wickedly fun Halloween bash as their annual party this year. The historic One Mayfair was the perfect setting for such an eerie affair, with exquisitely carved pumpkins illuminating the corners of the venue. Guests enjoyed fruity Campari and gin- based Halloween Smash Cocktails, as well as a variety of other spirits, wines and beers all served from a dramatically themed bar, decorated with tombstones and strung with ghostly cobwebs. In collaboration with MCC Events, Table Talk served a mix of delicious canapés and mini meals including a warming seasonal risotto with roast pumpkin, chestnuts and spinach which satisfied the 300 guests.  Adding to the frivolities, staff dressed as devils and witches dealt the cards for those keen to play their hand at a game of black jack or roulette…. What a ghoulishly entertaining evening!

ROCK N’ ROLL DINNER FOR PINKTOBER

Music legends Beverley Knight and Bonnie Tyler performed at an unforgettable charity dinner organised by the Hard Rock Café at the Natural History Museum. The evening held as part of the PINKTOBER campaign, in aid of breast cancer awareness, was hosted by Gloria Hunniford who’s charity The Caron Keating Foundation was one of the main beneficiaries. A silent auction including artwork by Tim Wakefield signed by Bon Jovi and the presenters of Top Gear, as well as hand-painted masks by celebrities including Tracey Emin, Ronnie Wood and Bananarama helped raise even more for the worthy cause. Bespoke features including PINKTOBER wristbands, given to every guest, and chocolate shaped guitars on the dessert added the sparkling touches to this star-studded evening. Guests raved about Table Talk’s steak and chips with one rather famous guest asking for seconds!

A STAR STUDDED LINE-UP AT THE HIGHCLERE YEARLING PARADES

As the stars of Downton Abbey filmed the ‘Christmas special’ at Highclere Castle, the estate also played host to one of the most sought-after invitations in the racing world. Highclere Thoroughbred Racing showcased their own stars of the future in the form of 16 blue-blooded yearlings to over 800 people during the four day event. Each morning breakfast canapés including miniature eggs florentine, sizzling sausage baguettes and bacon butties with warming Bullshot and Bloody Marys created a spectacular start to the day. Enthusiasts such as Alex Ferguson, Denise Lewis, Barry McGuigan and actor Nathaniel Parker, enjoyed the morning parades and a Champagne reception followed by a super stylish lunch, created by Table Talk, in the stunning marquee which was set in the grounds of Highclere Stud with panoramic views over the rolling Berkshire Downs.
