Services
We feel we have that perfect mix - some of the most experienced hands in the industry combined with a smattering of the hottest new talent around. Years of service: First time round was 4 years back in 2005 but I kept my hand in, working with Bethan and the team for every BRIT Awards since then, and now here I am, back again!

We absolutely love working with Payne and Gunter. As a busy event venue Trinity House only work with trusted caterers and Payne and Gunter is always a firm favourite.
P&G are reliable and provide an incredible service. The food is something to write home about whilst their attention to detail and organisation means that you can actually relax and enjoy your event.
As an event manager, I know my clients events are in safe hands when P&G is used. Couldn't recommend more.

Really wonderful team of people to work with and very professional. From start to finish they were faultless. Food was exceptional and they really paid attention to detail, and were able to do everything I wanted and all within my budget. They really helped to make my event extra special. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone who is having a wedding or any other event.

Having worked at unique venues across London for over a decade, I have worked with Payne and Gunter at hundreds of events and always enjoy doing so! With experience, professionalism, a smile of their face and the client at the heart of everything they do, I am always glad when I see they've confirmed an event and look forward to it with glee!
