Feasting Among the Vines: A Day at Sharpham Trust One thing that makes Sharpham Trust stand out (besides the stunning views and dreamy vineyard vibes) is the sheer sense of wow you get when you arrive. Nestled on the banks of the River Dart, this place is all rolling hills, has historic charm, and has plenty of delicious local wine. It’s the kind of venue that feels effortless and elegant—but let me tell you, catering here is a whole other story! A Kitchen to spread your wings! First things first—let’s credit the kitchen at Sharpham. It’s genuinely one of the nicest spaces we’ve worked in, with plenty of room to spread out and get creative. There’s something about working in a proper kitchen that makes you feel like a gourmet genius. Everything’s just where you need it, and the flow is smooth—an absolute lifesaver when you’re whipping up a feast fit for royalty. But don’t get too comfortable! The kitchen may be a dream, but one tiny challenge keeps us on our toes—stairs. Lots and lots of stairs. It’s like a scenic (but sweaty) workout from the prep area to the dining setup. You’ve got to be prepared to hoof it up and down with plates, platters, and sometimes entire courses balanced like a catering ninja. By the end of the day, I think we all deserved a medal—or at least a glass of Sharpham’s white! Creating a Menu That Matches the Magic Sharpham Trust just has that something special, so the menu has to live up to it. For this wedding, we wanted to match the elegance of the surroundings with dishes that felt vibrant, fresh, and indulgent. We leaned into seasonal, local ingredients (because honestly, how could you not in Devon?) and designed a sharing-style feast that got everyone talking and passing plates like they were at a big family dinner. Think rustic bread, colourful salads, and hearty mains that feel celebratory without being too formal. We wanted dishes as relaxed and welcoming as the setting—nothing fussy, just genuinely good food that made people smile. A Scenic (and Slightly Sweaty) Service Once the food was ready, the real challenge began: getting it from the kitchen to the dining area without looking like we’d just run a marathon. The stairs definitely kept us on our toes (literally), but teamwork and a bit of strategic plate-passing got everything to the tables looking gorgeous and perfectly presented. The vibe was pure magic—guests mingling on the lawn, wine glasses clinking, and that perfect golden light streaming through the vines. Nobody would have guessed the behind-the-scenes hustle that got the feast to the tables. We’re pretty good at keeping the chaos backstage! Feasting, Laughing, and Loving Every Minute By the time the sun dipped below the hills and the fairy lights flickered on, everyone was full and happy. We were buzzing from the energy—partly from the success of the meal, partly from the stairs workout—but mostly from seeing people genuinely enjoy what we’d put so much effort into creating. Sharpham Trust is the kind of place that makes you feel lucky to be part of someone’s big day. It’s got that rare mix of elegance and down-to-earth charm that makes it unforgettable. Sure, it keeps us moving and keeps us on our toes, but it’s totally worth it when you see everyone laughing, sharing food, and soaking up the gorgeous surroundings.
