Food to Celebrate

Bespoke catering across Sussex, Surrey & Hampshire

Love & Rocket are a family run catering business based in the heart of the South Downs National Park near Midhurst in West Sussex. We provide colourful & creative bespoke catering across Sussex, Surrey & Hampshire for all types of events & celebrations.

From boutique dinner parties & canapé events, small plates table feasts & wild fire cooking to themed buffets and afternoon teas. We cater for weddings & parties, life celebrations, corporate entertaining and film & festival crew catering, all with a personal approach to help find the style of food & service that’s right for you.

Wherever possible we try and source our ingredients from local suppliers & producers. We use fresh seafood landed at Goring including the scallops in our Scallop ceviche with tiger’s milk, apple & cucumber and Worthing Gin in our Gin cured salmon with fennel & dill oil. Our meat & game – all free range, pasture grazed & higher welfare comes from West Sussex & the South Downs area via local butchers.

Our allotment and garden provide us with the herbs & wild flowers we use to garnish much of our food and also the ingredients for small-batch compotes, pickles & infusions.

We aim to minimise our fruit & vegetable waste in creative ways – lemon husks are preserved in salt for tagines, citrus skins are dried & powdered to add zing to desserts and all our left over raw scraps feed the compost.

Sustainable ingredients from local suppliers & producers

  Love and Rocket provided an incredible Italian style feast for my 50th birthday. The food was unforgettably good. Every plate they provided was beautiful, indulgent and delicious. They also provided bespoke cocktails and matching mocktails and impeccable service. We loved it. I just wish I could enjoy it all over again!

  Sacha devised the perfect menu for my themed birthday party. The food looked and tasted incredible and I couldn't have been more pleased. Everything went exactly as planned and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Love and Rocket.

  This is a long overdue but very well deserved review for Love and Rocket Food. They catered our wedding in October last year and we couldn’t have made a better choice. The food was exactly what we wanted – bursting with flavour, perfectly prepared and presented, inventive and different from the standard fare. The team were also incredibly friendly and flexible – we worked with them on the menu and they were more than happy to accommodate all our requests, including preparing vegan portions for one of our guests. They were brilliant on the day too and seamlessly worked around our timelines. We felt we were in very safe hands and we and our guests loved the food. It was definitely a focal point of the day and we received countless compliments on it, it still gets mentioned when we see people even now. We would 1000% recommend Love and Rocket Food!

  Love and Rocket supplied a wonderful dinner for our family birthday weekend away. They delivered a three course meal, for 10 (including gluten free) ready prepared with menus, instructions and serving dishes. Everything was superb and the portions were very generous. Really delicious and we didnt even have to wash up anything afterwards. They came and took it all away.  Great communication with Sacha. Would highly recommend and will use again when staying locally.  Many thanks.

  We had a picnic from Love & Rocket during lockdown, and we were so impressed that we chose them to cater for our laid back wedding feast, a relaxed summer buffet and wedding cake. The food was fresh, delicious and beautifully presented. All our guests loved the food and we received so many compliments. Don't hesitate to order from Sacha and Jon - they are amazing, reliable and affordable, and also eco conscious. We can't wait to eat their food again soon.

  We had an amazing afternoon tea that was both gluten and diary free! Made so much more special because my fiancé proposed with it! It was the most wonderful afternoon tea ever 🥰

  We had a celebration of life for my mum on Saturday and Love & Rocket did the food. It was absolutely amazing!  The menu was bespoke and changed to accommodate the gluten free guests and was absolutely delicious. The presentation was so lovely with their own homegrown edible flowers that really finished it off. The quality of the food was fantastic and everything tasted incredible. Sacha stayed and served drinks/food & helped clear away and was a really lovely person to have around on the day. I cannot recommend this company highly enough. An absolutely brilliant service. Thank you.

  We held a celebration of life for my dad at the weekend with Love and Rocket providing an afternoon tea and staff to serve drinks for 80 people. Sacha was really understanding as we tried to navigate planning such a big event during changing covid restrictions. The food was excellent - lovely sandwiches and two different cakes - all to cater our dietary needs (nut free, children and mainly vegetarian). The staff were professional and made it hassle free for us. I would definitely recommend  them for other events.
