Owen's Catering Limited

Catering with Zest offers a truly flexible catering service. Quite simply, we would ask you complete a questionnaire so we can get an overall idea of what you’re looking for, dates and locations. We would then arrange a call or face-to-face meeting, whatever suits you best, to discuss the finer details and start creating a menu. Once we have finalised the menu, we can look at your preferences on ingredient sourcing, presentation and service. We can also discuss any taster sessions you may require.
We also offer the Blue Lagoon at Hilsea Lido as a venue to host your wedding reception. We would love to hear about your ideas and wedding plans, or if you’re looking for a bit of inspiration – get in touch! We like to keep things open, relaxed but most importantly focused on you. This is your day…
The Lido is an ideal venue for an evening wedding reception. We understand that planning a wedding reception takes a lot of time and attention to detail to make it personal to you.
Our onsite event manager will be on-hand to help coordinate the planning and set up, and will be available on the day to ensure your reception goes smoothly. From your very first visit to driving away, we want your experience to be straightforward and enjoyable.
Flexible wedding venue
We understand that you’ll want to make the venue as unique and personalised as possible, and we’re here to help you make this happen. If you’ve got a range of wedding suppliers in mind, we can work with you and them to ensure it all goes according to plan. Our adaptable approach allows you to get creative. Simply talk to us and share clippings (or Pinterest boards) so we can help meet your ideas. It’s important to keep an open discussion with us before booking / buying anything, just so we know it meets health and safety regulations.
Wedding decor
We have a range of tables and chairs available for use at the venue. We have plain white, cotton table cloths and chair covers for hire. These can then be dressed up with your table decorations, ribbons and wreaths. Alternatively, you can hire in your preferred tables, chairs and extras. Let us know if you’re planning any drapes, ceiling decor and anything unusual so we can assist with set-up.
