Where do we start?!
This year has seen the PKA cater to some of our biggest and best events to date, and we are still going strong. The 6th July saw us cater for Daisy Peat, where we cooked up steak and chips with a variety of homemade sauces. Served on rustic platters, you could see the glee in all of the 180 guests' eyes as the food was produced. The next day we came back for a Wimbledon-final survivors BBQ, where those still standing were treated to burgers, sausages, prawns and salads.
We have also been hard at work at Ufton Court, providing our services from three course meals, cold buffets, hog roasts, BBQs, cheese towers and much more. We must not forget the HUGE amount of work we have been doing with the Royal Berkshire Shooting School, providing food for hungry shooters at corporate and charity events, which recently includes the Peter Jones foundation.
With the summer still going strong, we have a relatively quiet this coming weekend, before three weddings in the first week of August, and then non-stop until late October. Hurray for summer!
If you would like to speak to us about an event you would like us to cater for, please contact Chris or Ed at chris@potkilnanywhere.co.uk, or ed@potkilnanywhere.co.uk, or alternatively call 01635200200. We look forward to hearing from you!

The summer is finally here......fingers crossed!
It looks as though the wedding season has arrived with the sunshine this year, for now at least.
At the PKA we are celebrating the sunshine, as sunshine not only brings BBQ's, a good drink and lazy sunday's in the garden, but it also brings happy brides and fantastic wedding days!
June looks like a busy month for the PKA, with a number of weddings, corporate and charity events, dinner parties and birthday parties. It's all go go go so we are all releived to say the least about the sun!
The team have been preparing for the busy time of the year by catering for a number of corporate days at RBSS as well as a number of weddings. There was particular amusement when we were all treated to a day of learning how to make bread. I think we all know how did the worst.......

The first weddings are merely days away now! During our hectic schedule we have found the time to sit back, realx (for a minute!) and share with you the events we have over this cold Easter weekend.

They are having a menu that involves a variety of canapes, sharing platters that include guinea fowl, pork and mushroom rillette, smoked mackerel pate, grilled courgettes and more! This will then be followed by a French onion soup Amuse Bouche, Venison, and a duo dessert of dark chocolate torte and mini lemon custard tart.
Easter Monday then sees an exciting Wedding that will focus on a Sri Lankan themed walking starter that will include Samosas, Dhal Vadai and Kothu Pittu. The breakfast will be just as delicious, featruing chicken breast coated in sesame seed and spiced crust with spicy sauce, and a trio of desserts including chocolate and mint mousse, passion fruit pavlova and lemon tart. Guests arriving in the evening will be treated to an array of homemade curries including Chicken and Sweet Pepper Karahi and Mutton and Sweet Potato.

Busy Busy Busy!
It's that time of year when the days start getting longer and the nights start getting shorter. And I'm not talking about the weather!
For all of us down at The Pot Kiln Anywhere the start of Spring brings with it an influx of events in all shapes and sizes.
Our chefs were busy in the kitchen on Friday night preparing savoury and sweet canapes for 180 people! An endless supply of food and Champagne made for a very good party indeed, and was enjoyed by all.
Saturday saw the PKA taking a trip to Windsor to cater for St. John Beaumont's School 125 Year Anniversary Charity Event. 200 people took to what was a very well disgusied sports hall for the evening. The food was good, the music was good, and so was the dancing!
We have lots of corporate and charity days coming up at the Royal Berkshire Shooting School as well as the beginning of wedding season and of course some Decision Making Dinners! Keep checking the blog for more news and photos.

An autumnal wedding
Saturday 17th saw The PKA cater for the wedding of Sophie Van Zeller. Ufton Court provided the perfect backdrop for a lovely autumnal wedding.
The day started with the couple getting married in the main house. They were then greeted to a champagne and canapés reception to mark their marriage. After enjoying canapés of lime and black pepper king prawns, baby Yorkshire puddings with beef and horseradish to name but a few, they were called up to the Tithe barn for their wedding breakfast.
They started with smoked salmon with a dill and horseradish creme fraiche, followed by braised shoulder of lamb, rolled with garlic and rosemary served with creamed spinach, potato dauphinoise and a Thyme jus. For dessert they ate sticky toffee pudding with toffee sauce and clotted cream.
The meal was followed by a champagne toast with the speeches. It was then time for music, dancing and lots of drinking!
Having consumed their fair share of alcohol, the evening food was well received. PKA provided a cheese tower, as well as a charcuterie board with a selection of cold, cured meats, olives, pates, quiches and a variety of breads and dips.
After a few more hours of drinking and dancing, the happy couple and their guests departed the barn after a fantastic day!
