My story...

Our farm produces many of the fine ingredients we use in our tasty dishes.

We also host afternoon teas, workshops and events. I have been in hospitality for 25 years and recognise that understanding my customers’ needs is essential.

We attended a Farm to Fork event at The Lovely Cow Shed last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Annie is the perfect host, attentive, friendly and her attention to every detail ensures each event runs smoothly. The Granary is a delightful venue.Excellent food from Alex Coward and fabulous music from Pete Bennet made the event a huge success.

Annie @The Lovely Cow Shed was recommended by a family friend to cater for my mums funeral reception. I am so glad we chose Annie and that she could accommodate us in her busy schedule at such short notice! The buffet was superb, local produce, freshly baked and presented beautifully. My mum would have called it ' a lovely spread' We cannot thank or praise Annie enough for her empathy, consideration and excellent service. A true gem x

After ‘stalking’ her instagram for months before, I was so happy to book in with Annie from The Lovely Cow Shed to cater for my son’s 2nd birthday party. To say she blew me away is an absolute understatement. The food was absolutely delicious and our guests raved about how tasty and beautifully presented it was. Annie was so accommodating, friendly and really easy to communicate with - she came back almost immediately on email and was super helpful in devising a menu that would cater to our dietary requirements. The food was extremely fresh and the produce was of a high quality. I’m not sure what I was expecting from the presentation but I was so impressed with her eye for detail - arranging florals and props to create the most amazing display with a wow factor! Pulling together a party the day after returning from our family holiday was ambitious and I’m so glad I brought Annie in to help. I would definitely recommend The Lovely Cow Shed and I look forward to working with Annie and her team for future events. Thank you so much!
