March band Night

On March the 20th which falls on a Saturday (2 weekends away) we are putting on our second band night for 2010.   January was our first and we managed to pack out the restaurant with 65+ people.  This month we are offering pretty much the same setup.
For £12 you buy a ticket and get to see Fireband, this month’s band.  Included in the price is a free meal and although the menu hasn’t been finalised yet it will be very similar to last time.  A choice from three dishes, Seafood Paella, Red Thai Chicken Curry or Char grilled Vegetable Lasagne all with various accompaniments.   The bar will be open as normal for guests to purchase drinks throughout the evening and desserts and coffees will be sold separately. Priced at £3.50 and £1.50 respectively.
To book your tickets you will need to call the Worgret Manor Hotel direct on 01929 552957.  Tickets will then be reserved for you and payment will be taken on the door.

Mothering Sunday

We have our mothers day menu published on the main site (mothers day menu here) and bookings are now being taken.  Last year we were fully booked and we expect this year to do the same.  There is a minimum of 2 courses priced at £14.95 and the menu has something for everyone.  Please use the same booking number as above to make your reservations.

I thought a quick post was in order to let people know how our first band night of 2010 went.  The night was fully booked, plus a few more, which meant we had in excess of 65 people present.  A big thank you to all that attended and we hope you enjoyed yourself as much as we did.

If you’ve been following this blog then you’ll know we had Buddy’s Live Band playing for us who is fronted by Huge Budden an excellent harmonica player.  Thank you to the band the performance was great and we had some great feedback about it.

The ticket price was £12 and included the entry fee as well as a plate of food.  Guests could choose from a Chargrilled Vegetable Lasagna, Seafood Paella or Chicken Tikka Masala.  Bread, Poppadoms or salad accompanied the relevant dishes.  Desserts were sold additionally to the ticket price at £3.50 each and comprised of Warm Sticky Toffee Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce and Vanilla Ice Cream  or Baked Vanilla Cheesecake with a Soft Berry Compote.

We hope to be holding another band night in the not to distant future, possibly March.  If you would like to stay be put on our band email list then send us an email to info@purplecresscatering.com with the subject line “Add me to your band list.”  You will then be kept up to date with the latest up and coming band night as well as other events we maybe hosting.

If you attended the band night and wish to leave us some feedback then you can post a comment on this blog post.

(Band Night footage hopefully coming soon.)

Until next time…..

This is to let you all know about our latest public event being held on the 19/12/2009.  Purple cress are putting on a 3 course meal, with tea and coffee if requested, plus a live 5 piece band for only £27.95 as our Christmas party for 2009.  There are a limited number of tickets available so if you are interested its best to book a.s.a.p.

The venue for this party is the Worgret Manor hotel, just outside Wareham.  For those of you who are interested, they do have rooms available to save you driving home.  I am trying to get them to give rooms away at a discount for this event.

The band playing for us are called Fire Bird.  they are local 5 piece band with a female vocalist and will be doing between 70 and 80 covers.

You can check out full details on our website (Click here – band night page)

We do hope to be attending Swanage Carnival next year and will be expanding our range of products.  Crepes will definitly be making a return and if we can manage to persuade the carnival organisers we will be offering some alternative foods.  I will disclose them nearer the time.

Purple Cress have been planning for next years events already and we are filling up the diary.  This year bought so many events to our attention we had no idea quite how much went on through out the summer around the Purbecks.

Bestival is just one of the events on the list we hope to conquer and probably will be our biggest to date.  Be sure to check back for updates throughout early next year for detials.

Thanks for reading!

Come on down to say hello and try out some of our products, we offer a range of sweet biscuits and cakes at present and will possibly offer savoury products in the near future depending on customer reactions.  Easter weekend will be a miss for us though as prior commitments before the market stall began have to take preference but we will be there regularly every Saturday there after.

look forward to seeing you there.
