Serendipity Street

Serendipity Street is a catering and events company run from Lavenham in Suffolk. It cooks and serves for weddings, family celebrations, corporate events, film and TV crews and festivals, and it describes more than ten years in the industry.

Menus are built around locally sourced produce where possible and are divided into themes that can be mixed freely: a country larder, a British seaside menu, a picnic for outdoor weddings, a village pub menu, street food and a vegetarian and vegan feast. Wedding food ranges from plated dinners to buffets, hog roasts, grazing tables and afternoon tea receptions, and special diets are catered for.

The company is recognised for a vintage, tea party style of wedding. It hires out vintage and antique china for up to 240 guests, and can add table linen, bunting, lanterns, cake stands and place names. Couples have also used it for full venue dressing and for cakes, and it offers wider event planning, from choosing a venue to coordinating rentals and suppliers.

It works across Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Essex and London, delivering china and food to marquees, gardens, barns and country houses. It operates a catering van for street food and festival work, and it is a general caterer with a broad events range rather than a wedding-only business.

Wedding afternoon tea

I wanted to email to thank-you so much for Saturday. Your crockery looked wonderful, your ladies were so kind and dressed to fit the theme which I loved! And the food and tea was just delicious.
We have had lot’s of kind words from guests.
Beautiful meal so much better than a sit down, wonderful scones, loved the sandwich selection. All I wanted was a cup of tea and I got one.
The execution was seamless, timed to perfection and it appeared to be stress free which was what I loved.

Vintage tea party wedding

We used Serendipity Street at our wedding in August. They provided all the vintage crockery and tableware for our informal tea party style wedding breakfast, they went out of their way to find other pieces that were not part of their held stock and even threw in their chalk board to welcome our guests!
They assisted our caterers in serving the guests throughout the event which was above and beyond our requirements for them and were thoroughly professional.
They are a wonderful company and it was a pleasure to share our day with them. We would highly recommend them as we are certain they could cater for any type of event.
