Leek and cold smoked cheddar arancini Head chef and owner of Crisp and Vale catering Hannah trained at the Cordon Bleu, Rick Stein’s flagship restaurant, alongside Michelin star experience. As it brings people together to enjoy each other’s company, she believes life’s memories and moments are best shared and celebrated with food. “We relish creating individual events with a theme or style, from the formal to the unusual; weddings to product launches, corporate gatherings to a birthday bash.”
