About

Sara Gibson, Chef Director, founded Passion Fruit Catering in 2015 out of a love of fine food, entertaining, and creating memorable food experiences. The company started out in her kitchen, but soon moved to commercial space on a rural farm in Tring, Hertfordshire. Sara began her culinary education in London at Westminster Kingsway College. Sara has worked in Michelin-starred restaurants, hotels, and event venues over the course of her career. She now has over 21 years of experience in hospitality and catering. While Sara was working as the Head Chef of the National Maritime Museum and the Queen's House, one of her most notable accomplishments was cooking for 500 guests at the celebrations of the late Majesty the Queen's Jubilee and providing complete catering for the England equestrian team at the 2012 Olympics.

Frances, Sara's partner, left her position as a detective with the Metropolitan Police Service in 2018 to join the business. She now oversees the front of house and event management sections of the business. She brings with her all the organization skills, meticulous attention to detail, and is known for her military precision when planning and timing events to ensure that they run smoothly.

The business currently in its eighth year, has turned into the go-to catering organisation for occasions and weddings, making extraordinary and tailor-made menus, executed with imaginative style and scrupulousness. They provide catering in a variety of settings, including private homes and wedding venue. They will work with you to create a bespoke plan, bespoke menu, and bespoke schedule so that your event is well-organised and you can rest assured that everything will go according to plan. They begin every enquiry with a conversation about the kind of event you are planning. When you book with Passion Fruit Catering, you will receive all of this as part of their service.

The Food

The food is simple and focused on flavour; letting the high-quality produce speak for itself and perfectly balancing seasonal pairings. They select hand-picked suppliers who stand out for their exceptional products, commitment to sustainability, and consistent high standards, as well as for the freshness, seasonality, and locality of their ingredients and produce.

Canapés

Hand made canapés are the perfect way to start your event and impress your guests. They can provide canapé receptions or a substantial canapé menu with a rolling 2-3 hour service.

Bowl Food

Bowl food is the perfect option for stand up events, if you want to offer your guests something more substantial than canapés. A great social alternative to a sit down meal.

Formal Dining

Treat your guests to a fine and fun restaurant experience at your home, inside a garden marquee or your chosen venue.

Feasting

Relaxed, yet beautifully refined feasting for weddings and events.

BBQ

Treat your guests to a Posh Charcoal BBQ, freshly cooked in front of your guests on their 6ft Argentinian style BBQ. Think fresh local fish and seafood, Thai beef satay to gourmet burgers, the options are endless.

Buffets

Freshly prepared, seasonal dishes, beautifully displayed on a buffet table offering your guests a variety of dishes to choose from.

  • Georgina de Glanville

    We had an absolutely delicious spread of canapés for my birthday party. The flavours, variety and abundance were incredible. The staff were delightful and I would not hesitate to use Passion Fruit catering for any other occasion and would highly recommend them.

  • Andy Berry

    Sara & Frances catered for our wedding, the food and service was incredible. To feed 100 guests in a field with that quality of food was amazing and we have had numerous guests tell us that it was the best wedding breakfast they have ever had. If you are looking for supremely high quality, with locally sourced ingredients I would highly recommend.

  • Liv Outram

    Both Sara and Frances are the perfect duo to deliver an amazing event and experience - Sara is an incredible talent in the kitchen, she will deliver what you are looking for but also ensure she guides you to make the best choice. Frances is an absolute life saver in making sure all the planning and the management of the day runs smoothly.

    We were so delighted with how our Wedding day went and the food was also just delicious.

    The staff were professional, friendly, smartly dressed and very attentive - we loved the fact they remembered to bring us canapes while we were busy taking photos - they were also the best canapes I have ever had!

    We even were told by the venue owners that they were the best caterers they had worked with, they worked with military precision and had never had a caterer clear up that well.

    Our guests were endlessly complimenting the food, especially the beef and the red wine jus and the laid back atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for to set the scene for the day.

    We are endlessly grateful for making the day run so smoothly

  • Moira Douglas

    In the summer we had a BBQ which Sara and her team catered. Before the event the communication by Sara was excellent and on the day they set up their outside kitchen and just got on with it. The food was delicious and received many compliments from my guests. It was fantastic to be able to enjoy my party without having to worry about the catering. I would def not hesitate to use Passion Fruit Catering again. Thankyou Sara for being such a star.

  • Paula Abramson

    Thanks so much to Sara, Frances and the PFC team for ensuring that the guests at our daughters wedding party were well fed! We lost count of how many guests took the time to tell us just how fantastic the food was, with many also commenting on the amazing service you provided! From our first meeting earlier this year, we felt safe in your hands. On the big day, which had been a long time coming since the original wedding had to be cancelled due to the pandemic, your calming presence and professional approach helped us relax and enjoy our special day. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you and will certainly be calling on you again for future family celebrations.
    Paula and John xx
