Wood

Cream covers the table, olive colors the napkins and greenery, oat softens woven seats, clay warms the vessels, and wood comes through the chairs.

BRING THE FEELING INTO THE ROOM

Welcoming and informal, with good food and enough time for another conversation.

A countryside dining room, farm venue with proper event facilities, or sheltered garden terrace.

01

The table

Lay plain cream linen with olive napkins and simple plates. Let the woven chairs and pale pottery add texture, leaving room for serving platters.

02

The flowers

Use small clay or ceramic vessels with pale seasonal flowers and loose greenery. Keep arrangements below eye level across the table.

03

The meal

Discuss a lunch format the caterer can serve comfortably. Ask how dietary meals will reach the right people if dishes are shared.

04

The afternoon

Plan a few places to sit away from the main table. Lawn games or a walk can be optional, with conversation enough on its own.

MAKE IT WORK FOR YOUR LIFE

A look you can
make your own.

For a small group, gather around one lunch table. For more guests, repeat the same table setting and let the caterer guide the serving layout.

Leave room for what matters.

Serve foods you enjoy and make time for any welcome, blessing, or family custom you choose in consultation with those taking part.

01

Spend where it shows.

Choose a lunch service with included furniture and a short rental list; compare the complete total before assuming daytime costs less.

02

Make comfort part of the plan.

Offer shaded chairs with backs and a firm route to toilets, and describe the ground clearly in guest information.

03

Before you commit.

  • Check kitchen facilities and the complete catering quote.
  • Confirm shelter and shade for the full group.
  • Plan transport for a venue outside town.
  • Leave clear routes between lunch and any outdoor activities.
