Westminster Abbey

There are few places more recognisable in London than Westminster Abbey. An architectural masterpiece, it represents a unique pageant of British History as it is the place of the coronation, marriage and burial of British monarchs since 1066.

With this year’s Leader of the Westminster Council’s summer reception being held in this historic location, Mackintosh’s were honoured to be invited to cater for some of London’s most prominent constituents.

On what turned out to be one of the most idyllic evenings of the summer with not a breath of wind nor a cloud in the sky, guests were served with cool and refreshing non-alcoholic apple and ginger mojitos, and some of the finest fare that Mackintosh’s has to offer. Soy glazed tuna with wasabi mayonnaise, mizuna, pickled ginger on a wonton and watermelon boxes with crab, ginger & radish salad to name but a few.

With St Catherine’s Chapel Garden and the College Garden situated in the grounds overlooking the Houses of Parliament and both available to hire for summer evening receptions in June and July, there can be no better location in the country to hold a canapé party.
