Today we are catching up with the fantastic Ross Moore who works at the brilliant Sausage and Pear, a catering service for weddings and other events.vents

Describe your business in five words?

We supply catering, marquees & Bars

When and why did you start your business?

Sausage and Pear was formed in 2008. We started supplying wholesale

cakes and scones to local tourist attractions. After just 6 months we

moved solely into catering and stopped supplying cakes.

What do you love most about the work you do?

I love event catering, especially the camaraderie between the staff.

There is an attitude of 'we are all in this together so lets do the best

job possible..' I love getting amazing feedback from clients as well, its

great to be appreciated.

If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be and why?

I wouldn't change anything in my life. :)

How can brides and grooms find you?

Google, word of mouth, blogs, etc.

Do you have any wedding stories to tell or embarrassing work 

moments?

On a hot summer Saturday last year, upon setting up the venue we

noticed that the wedding cake was tilting slightly. We took a closer 

look and realized that one sponge was sinking into the other. As we

had nearly 2 hours until the bride and groom arrived, we ended up

taking it in turns to hold the cake upright to stop it melting completely.

Luckily the cake just managed to hold until the wedding ceremony,

when I duly informed the bride and groom and advised them to cut the

cake early, disaster averted..

And finally, what is your "one" top tip you can give to a bride and groom?

Don't stress about anything, or worry about things, everything will flow on the day :)

It was great to meet you Ross.

I was recently asked to become a Brand Ambassador for Bottlegreen Drinks and on Tuesday I was invited for a tour and sample session at their Cotswold based factory.  

Along with myself there were three other Brand Ambassador's (Millie & Meg and The Cutlery Commission). When we first arrived we were treated to an afternoon of cocktail and mocktail making using Bottlegreen products. First creating a savoury based cocktail and then competing to create the best sweet based mocktail.  Needless to say my competitive side took over! 

FYI my cocktail ingredients 

Summer Evening:

Bottlegreen Raspberry & Grapefruit Cordial, ice, cucumber, pepper, cloves, fresh raspberries, fresh grapefruit juice, squeeze of lime and lemon. 

Pond Water:

Bottlegreen Apple & Plum Cordial, fresh ginger, pepper, carbonated water,  dill, lime, saline/salt water,  ice.

Quantity wise for both drinks, just throw everything in until it tastes nice!

 

Tiny cordial bottles being produced inside the bottling and filling plant. 

At the end of the tour we went back to the best meeting room ever and got to sample a brand new flavour hot of the production line,  it was so delicious,  but as it hasn't even hit the shelves yet so that is all I can say about that one for now! 

It was a fantastic day and we each left with an awesome bag of tasty Bottlegreen drinks, I will  have to do a blog post on sampling them! 

Thank you very much Bottlegreen and Silverball PR.
