Busman’s Holiday #3 – A Night to Remember at The Guildhall, Northampton

On February 5th, we hosted our third Busman’s Holiday at the stunning Guildhall in Northampton—and what a night it was! This event is our way of saying a huge thank you to the incredible staff, venues, and suppliers we work with throughout the year.

But this one was extra special. Why? Because we had something huge to celebrate—our recent win at The Wedding Industry Awards, where we were crowned Caterer of the Year 2025! We wanted to celebrate hard, surrounded by the people who make everything we do possible.

Of course, this unforgettable night wouldn’t have been the same without our amazing suppliers. Each one brought their expertise, creativity, and passion to make the evening truly magical.
