At the end of July Frog Hollow catered for a wonderful Middle Eastern themed Birthday party for 88 guests.
The setting was amid rolling fields on a private farm – the massive marquee was decorated as of bedouin tent the tables were laid with brilliant blue glassware, sand coloured table cloths and adorned with hubbly bubbly pipes, colourful lanterns and twinkly tea lights.
There were palm trees and a beach bar decorated with diving equipment and surf boards to denote holidays spent in the red sea. My client had personalised one whole wall with family photographs – a real talking point.
There was also a covered ivory chill out zone with comfy seats for guests to escape to when the dance floor became too crowded.
The guests enjoyed a glass of bubbly on the grass outside the marquee and watched the setting sun over the fields.
Guests dined on a selection of delicious Mezzes – pitta bread, hummus, byessar dip, baba ganoush and falafel with minted yoghurt.
