We are husband and wife team, Matt & Lou. We started out owning a little café in West Kirby, on the Wirral Peninsula, Merseyside, where we built a reputation for offering great food, sometimes with a twist but always with a lot of love. The growth of our business and, in particular the outside catering and Street Food elements, encouraged us to take the leap to leaving our four walls behind, and opening Hardy’s Events and Catering.
Our outside catering business has grown from strength to strength in the last several years, and the range and variety of events we cater for has lead us to some really exciting opportunities. Weddings, Corporate Events, Private Parties, Festivals, Food Fayres and Private Dining Experiences, to name a few – we’ve loved them all! We offer a full catering service from sit down three course dining, canapés, BBQs, picnics & banquets…and pretty much everything in between. We are also fully licensed so are able to offer you a bar service in addition to the food.
Why feel restricted by a traditional wedding reception or party in a local hotel, when you can rent a field and build your dream event from the ground up. At Hardy’s Events and Catering, we are experts in creating both days and nights to remember with our beautiful, multi-functional tipis. If you can find the space, we can turn your dream into a reality.
We have Giant, Midi and Mini Tipis available to hire, which we can arrange in whatever configuration suits you and your guests.
If you think the Big Tipi of Love is just a fancy name for a big tent, then you’ve never been inside one.
Big love
