Hunter VIII Hunter has launched as a luxury, bespoke and independent event caterer that describes itself as living by its ethos to make excellence accessible as standard.
The business is made up of a young and dynamic team of four creatives – chefs, events planners and stylists – who have launched Hunter VIII Hunter to provide a unique offering in the industry. With a combined experience of over 30 years in catering and events planning, the team aims to provide an unrivalled culinary offering with impeccable service, style and flair.
The Hunter VIII Hunter team not only delivers the traditional aspects of events – food and entertainment – but focuses in on the client’s ideas, creating concepts and delivering every detail down to the styling of their staff.
No agency staff
Preferring to work with trusted teams, Hunter VIII Hunter never uses agency staff, working with only the best and most trusted individuals. The organisation hand-picks each member of the team to fit the exact brief, from the best chefs and mixologists in London to trained actors, acrobats and dancers. Hunter VIII Hunter believes that through treating their staff well and paying above the average in the industry they can properly support their teams and provide clients with the best experience possible.
The company creates events for both private and corporate partners, delivering briefs for brand launch parties, awards ceremonies and team building away days. Hunter VIII Hunter’s current portfolio includes work with a range of corporate clientele from luxury brands to fashion houses, international businesses and West End shows.
Private events are also a back bone to the team’s work, creating tailored supper clubs, weddings and baby showers for a range of clients throughout the UK.
Drop Off Service
The Hunter VIII Hunter team will continue to grow the business through building their portfolio of corporate clients and launching their unique Drop Off Service – tapping into the luxury home delivery service market and allowing clients the opportunity to order a bespoke menu to their door.
