A night of baroque splendour at Christ Church Spitalfields

The spectacular Christ Church Spitalfields is the venue that Jimmy Garcia Catering secured their first exclusive caterer status in. To mark this beautiful union, Jimmy and his team created a very special showcase dinner for 50 specially invited guests. 

Created by Jimmy and Chef Director, Ran Lees, the menu showcased the finest produce, all sourced from London and the south-east and delivered with the creative flourish expected from JGC amongst the baroque splendour of the recently refurbished Christ Church venue. 

Guests were greeted with Gusbourne English sparkling Blanc de Blanc to accompany a range of canapes. These included a Cornish crab cigar, served on dry ice and in a cigar box.

The main was a Sous vide Sutton Hoo chicken supreme, accompanied by an amazing truffle mushroom brioche and butter pudding.

Dessert was a first for us as we presented guests with a choux bar, from which they could choose from a variety of pastries, including a banoffee pie choux and a Winter Eton mess éclair.

Eating Jimmy’s food is always more of an experience than just a delicious meal. His passion for seasonality, locality and provenance ensures his food not only tastes and looks incredible, but also tells a story. If Jimmy ever invites you to dinner, ALWAYS say yes.

Rich history, baroque architecture, and blank canvas event spaces; Christ Church Spitalfieldsfields.co.uk offers all ingredients for high-profile events at an iconic East End landmark. From intimate gatherings in the Crypt to grand parties, awards dinners, and brand activations in the Nave for between 10 and 600 guests.

 

"This was a massive moment for my business and a proud one for me personally. I'm incredibly excited that Christ Church Spitalfields is our very first venue as the exclusive caterer. Not only is this a stunning landmark venue and one that is equipped to deliver the very best events, it stands proud at the heart of the east end and has been welcoming people through its doors for nearly 300 years. It’s only right that we pulled out all the stops to showcase our work and the venue for all of our special guests."
