Exceptional food and service, that lets you enjoy every moment.
Founder-led catering and hospitality for weddings, celebrations and corporate events across Bath, Bristol, Wiltshire, Somerset and the South West.
Our vision
First Press Hospitality is an award winning, founder-led catering and hospitality company, and we think of food and service as one thing, not two. The food is exceptional — that matters enormously to us — but what truly sets an event apart is the whole experience around it: the planning, the care, the service and a day that runs so smoothly you never have to think about the detail. James, our head chef and founder, is a qualified sommelier with years across professional kitchens and front of house; Clara looks after each client from the first conversation onward. Together with our team, they make sure the entire occasion feels effortless.
It begins long before the day itself. We take the time to understand your vision, talk through every detail, and coordinate seamlessly with your other suppliers, so that when the moment comes, everything simply works — and you’re free to be fully present, enjoying it alongside your guests.
Our Clients Say
"The food was absolutely outstanding, and the level of service was truly on par with a Michelin-star restaurant … the team seamlessly coordinated with all of our suppliers, ensuring everything ran perfectly to time and allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment."
Ben & Charlotte, Wedding 2026
How we can help
Catering for Events
Outstanding food, a day that runs beautifully
Your wedding deserves more than good catering; it deserves hospitality that carries the whole day. We design fine-dining menus around you and your story, then plan every detail with you in the months beforehand — coordinating with your suppliers, thinking through the logistics, and running the day itself with a calm, professional team. We cater anywhere: garden marquees, centuries-old barns, woodland clearings, blank-canvas venues with little more than a view and a power supply. The result is outstanding food served inside a seamless day, so you can be fully present to enjoy your day.
The restaurant experience, wholly looked after
Some of the best evenings happen at home, without the table bookings or the logistics. We bring restaurant-quality dining to your own space for milestone birthdays, anniversaries, hen weekends and dinner parties — fresh, multi-course food, attentively served by a warm and professional team, and a kitchen left immaculate at the end of the night. Every part of the evening is handled, so you can relax into it as a guest at your own occasion.
Impeccable food, flawlessly delivered
When your name is on the event, the food and the service reflect on you in equal measure. From boardroom lunches and product launches to conferences and client entertaining, we deliver food that impresses and a service that runs precisely to time — organised, professional, and warm enough that guests genuinely look forward to it. Hospitality that makes the whole occasion feel considered, and reflects well on you throughout.
