Professional Event Staffing & Service Excellence
Experienced Hospitality Professionals as Part of Our Full Catering Service
At First Press Hospitality, exceptional food is only one part of delivering a truly memorable event. The professionalism, presentation and coordination of the team behind the scenes are equally important.
We provide experienced Chefs and front-of-house hospitality staff as part of our bespoke wedding, corporate and private event catering services across Bath, Bristol, Wiltshire, Somerset and the South Cotswolds.
We do not offer standalone staff hire. Instead, our team works exclusively as part of our fully managed catering service, ensuring complete consistency, quality and seamless execution.

Specialists in Marquees, Gardens & Remote Locations
Many of the events we deliver take place in marquees, private gardens and open countryside settings, where facilities can be limited and logistics require careful planning.
Our team has extensive experience delivering luxury catering and professional service in temporary and outdoor environments, coordinating equipment, power, layout and staffing with precision.
This expertise allows us to transform blank canvas venues into refined dining experiences, maintaining the same high standards you would expect in a fully equipped venue.

Service Standards That Reflect Your Event
Whether catering for:
-
Luxury weddings
-
Corporate events and conferences
-
Private parties and social celebrations
Our hospitality team delivers with professionalism, discretion and attention to detail.
We understand that presentation, timing and guest interaction are just as important as the food itself. Every member of our team is selected for their experience, reliability and commitment to delivering exceptional service.

James and Clara at First Press provided us with a superb dinner to celebrate a big birthday. The food was excellent and their service and attention to detail was impeccable from first contact to serving the dinner. Highly recommended.
