Catering for your event at dove farm

There is a genuine choice of catering options for corporate events, and daytime workshops at dove farm. The emphasis is on farmhouse hospitality, and we like to serve generous helpings, made with quality ingredients.

Unlimited teas, coffees and biscuits, is always available on a self-serve basis.

Home baked cakes and scones may be ordered to go with your morning coffee, or afternoon tea . Why not order bacon rolls or sausage sandwiches for brunch? Just let us know your requirements when you book.

As we are a working farm, we are not always available to cater for larger events. Our suggested caterer for larger groups and events, is Ann’s Catering based in Uttoxeter.

Ann’s Catering is a highly regarded, long established, family business. It is now run by husband and wife team, Chris and Jane Bailey. You can be sure of a professional service, and consistent quality, whether you order a lunchtime buffet or dinner party. Importantly for us, the meat served by Ann’s Catering, is UK reared, to high welfare standards, and locally sourced where possible.
