Killing Eve

Killing Eve

It’s not everyday, you get the chance to cater for one of the biggest British thriller series of all time, currently being filmed in the UK.

We were thrilled for Killing Eve to contact us directly, asking us to travel to West London Studios to cook our sweet & savoury crepes for the cast and crew of series 3 . The weather was outstanding, and the jaw-dropping TV series team were a delight to meet and cook for.

Killing Eve hit our screens in the UK back in September 2018, and has since become extremely successful in both the United States and the United Kingdom, claiming several accolades, including British Academy Television Award for Best Drama Series and British Academy Television Awards.

The cast and crew of Killing Eve are now off to Romania to continue their filming for series 3. We wish you all the best, and hope to cross paths with you again.

Dogs & Daffs 2019 – Charity Dog Walk and Fun Dog Show

Dogs and Daffs 2019

On the 24th March 2019, a fantastic day was had at Dogs & Daffs – Charity Dog Walk and Fun Dog Show, held within the stunning grounds of Hatfield House.

It only seems like yesterday since we last catered for Dogs & Daffs Fundraising Team, and what an amazing day we all had again! The weather wasn’t too dissimilar to last year, but slightly warmer which was an added bonus. Many Dogs of all breeds arrived in droves, to take part in this popular, and rapidly growing charity event, where there’s four exclusive mapped-out walks set within the beautiful grounds of Hatfield House, along with numerous brightly coloured obstacle courses for your pet to take part in, lots of pet stalls, Barbe-Kew’s outstanding locally sourced food, and of course, not forgetting our crepes and waffles to sweeten your day! Again the entire Dogs and Daffs Team did an amazing job, and managed to raise a staggering £8,300 for Digswell Place Group RDA (Riding for Disabled Association); a much loved charity that provides therapy, and builds confidence in people with disabilities, through riding ponies and horses. I believe this year’s charity event was even greater than last year, so well done to everyone that took part, and for your kind generosity, which will have a huge impact on improving the lives of others. Thank you to all the pooch owners that took part in this exceptional day, along with your outstandingly well-behaved dogs and pups, and to Hatfield Army Cadets, who helped the day run smoothly.

We look forward to seeing you all again next year.

Champneys Challenge at Champneys Tring

On Sunday 14th October, Crêpe de la Crêpe had the privilege of taking part in Champneys Challenge, the 10k Hike, Bike and Run Event at Champneys Tring. Despite the downpour, hundreds of charitable participants turned-up to make it a day to remember. The event kicked off with a warm up, hosted by the astrologer  legend ‘Russell Grant’. He geared everyone up, ready to take on the challenge. With his bending and stretching techniques, we could hear lots of giggling and banter amongst the contestants.

Russell Grant

Then who should I hear amongst the crowd………. It was the deep voice, and laughter from the legend himself, ‘Frank Bruno’. He came over to our creperie bearing a super smile whilst ordering his crepe, I made sure it was an extra-large one! I couldn’t resist the opportunity of having our photograph taken together.

Frank Bruno

Champneys Challenge raised a staggering £50,000 for their chosen charities: Alzheimer’s Research UK and Crisis UK. Well done to everyone who took part, you really are truly super!

New Renault and Dacia Showroom Grand Opening in Cambridge

On Friday 31st August, we had the privilege of catering for the staff and VIP customers of John Banks Group, for the grand opening of their largest Renault Showroom in the UK, and bigger and better Dacia Showroom, both based in Cambridge. During this magnificent evening there were chilled refreshments, our sweet and savoury crepes, a very talented accordionist who set a wonderful French ambience throughout the event, and a caricaturist whose talent of capturing his subjects’ ‘best features’ were second to none. Renault’s latest car showroom opening was a huge success, with their customers placing orders on Renault’s latest cars throughout the evening, plus getting the chance to test-drive Renault’s quirky two-seat Electric Twizy, and not forgetting the chance to win a brand-new Renault Clio!

On the 1st July 2019, we had the pleasure and privilege of cooking our crepes for the ‘The London Bridges Walk’; an annual charity event for Kidney Research UK. The charity walk started and finished within the charming Potters Fields Park, which is a small grassed riverside park located South-West of the iconic Tower Bridge, with sweeping views of the river. This year’s charity walk consisted of  hundreds of selfless participants, that manage to turn London purple with their brightly coloured purple tops, headpieces and accessories, whilst they made their way across London’s most famous bridges. This popular charity walk is approximately 7 miles long, and took place during UK’s blistering heatwave. Thousands of inflated purple balloons could be seen floating across Tower Bridge in their droves, whilst being held by the participants, and raising thousands of pounds for Kidney Research UK.

Creperie at Tower Bridge

Kidney disease is a silent killer, and with monies raised from Kidney Research UK charity events, and the generosity of everyone involved, it is now estimated that every year, 60,000 people with kidney failure are alive today, due to the advances in research that Kidney Research UK has directly contributed to.

Crepe de la Crepe - London Bridges Walk

Everyone involved had an amazing day, and I would like to thank Kidney Research UK for asking us to be a part of your special fundraising day; what a privilege it was!

Festival Weddings

outdoor weddings

Festival weddings are all the rage, and can take place in a licensed meadow or a field, giving you a blank canvas to create your own unique style of wedding with a personal touch. You might choose to have a themed wedding, letting your creativity and imagination run wild. You can find plenty of inspiration on the internet, Instagram and wedding inspired websites, all are a great place to start looking, and can help you along the way.

First you need to find your ideal space where you can set-up a marquee, tents, yurts or a teepee; all are perfect in their own right, and a fun way of housing your wedding. You may like to add pretty signs to direct your guests to the bar, entertainment, toilets or  relaxing/ chill-out areas. These can be rustic or creative as your imagination stretches, and can be a great help in steering your wedding guests in the right direction. Why not start by designing your very own festival ticket style invitations, to set your wedding off to a flying start.

Lighting is an important feature as it sets a magical atmosphere as the sun starts to set. You can never have enough fairy lights, the more sparkles the better, intertwined amongst vintage bunting adds a nice vintage touch. Fun foods such as street food, snacks and sweets are a fun and easy way to feed your wedding guests, along with a cool bar to fit in with your festival theme.

There are many cool and funky mobile catering units available to hire, which are ideal for catering at festival weddings. You could hire a vintage horsebox creperie, serving tasty freshly cooked crepes to satisfy your guests. Take a look at Crêpe de la Crêpe menu for great wedding food ideas.

Festival weddings can often work out more affordable than conventional weddings, with some fields and meadows offering facilities for your guests to camp over-night too. This gives your guests a brilliant opportunity to let their hair down, mingle and party on down into the early hours to your chosen music, whether it be a hired DJ or  live bands.

Why not go the full hog and order yourself some trendy wellies to fit in with your theme!
