Not just coffee and cake
Over the past decade (we know… time flies), we’ve seen our business organically grow in directions we never envisaged when we first renovated our Citroen H Van and set out to bring artisan coffee to our local villages. The passion for cooking was always there, but what started out as lending a hand to friends so that they could have something a bit different at the birthday dinner table has now evolved to one of the core elements of our business - a fully fledged catering and event planning company. As the business has grown, our core beliefs have remained exactly the same; our love has always been experimenting in the kitchen to produce menus and events which are truly personal reflections of the client we’re working with. With this, our love of all things creative has also paved the way for us to assist with venue staging, table dressing and decorating. Whether its marking a big birthday, making the most of the garden for a summer’s evening soiree, or planning the perfect wedding day, we bring our personal touch and expertise to help curate the perfect event for you.

Children's Parties
Cowgirls, Alice in Wonderland, Frozen. Just some of the many themes we've catered for. We know organising a children's party can be stressful, so let us design the food, drinks and decorations to make it a party to remember.

Cowgirls & Cowboys
We were given the brief to create a vintage style cowgirl party in a garage and garden setting. So we went all out and brought the Wild West to Hartley Wintney. We provided tassel garlands, vintage props and a rustic canopy to transform the garage. The garden was tastefully decorated with red and white pom poms, straw bales for seating and even a rocking horse!
We worked with the client to provide a menu that would go down a treat with the birthday girl. Including potato salad served in miniature buckets, corn on the cob, and southern style beans. For sweet treats we provided white chocolate cake pops, red and white striped jelly with fruit and traditional smores toasted over our fire pit. All washed down with our Rhubarb and Strawberry blush drink served in moonshine style jam jars.
Frozen
Who doesn't love Frozen?! For this girl's special birthday we created a winter wonderland. Including hand cut snowflakes, fresh white flowers and glittering reindeer. The children's menu included pressed snowflake sandwiches and Norwegian meatballs, frozen snowball cake pops and snowflake jelly. Not forgetting the adults - we included a Scandinavian smorgasbord of gravadlax, cured meats and pickles to keep spirits up ( or perhaps that was the prosecco?!).
Alice in Wonderland
For this 6th birthday party, the theme was Alice in Wonderland - a great excuse for us to go mad for a Hatter's tea party! Painted roses, a croquet lawn for a table cloth and tea pots filled with flowers set the scene. The menu included 'eat me' crudités and 'drink me' raspberry lemonade, as well as playing card styled sandwiches and pizzatinis. Pudding included jelly and cream served in vintage tea cups and cake pops to take home. A truly mad time was had by all!
Christenings
Welcoming a new person into the world is a really special day, and we love to make it a treat for the whole family. We can serve your guests our wholesome canapés, arrange a sumptuous buffet, and provide coffee and drinks to mark the celebration.

Christenings call for something delicate, sophisticated yet informal, and such a special day deserves more than a plate of sandwiches and a few balloons. Make the day extra memorable, and less stressful for mum and dad by letting The Hobo take care of everything. We can provide delicious seasonal bites and delectable buffets to really spoil you and your guests.
“Thank you for such a great party. All the guests thought the food was amazing, it all just went so smoothly.”
We can also provide our handmade decorations, including colour coordinated pom poms and giant pin wheels to really make your venue come alive. We'll even bring the crockery and glasses so you won't need to worry about the washing up!
