Cannes Lions Festival Lunch prepared for Stink.tv

When Advertising companies go to lunch they REALLY go to lunch and the party chosen by London based Stink was certainly no exception as they gathered with their senior partners and very best clients on the lawn of the most exquisite Cannes rental villa. They were in town for the Cannes Lions Advertising Festival and when it came to choosing a caterer for their event they looked no further than Red Radish.

As well as great food in the shape of a true Italian feast. This is the finished menu our great designer Lynne Spaight quickly put together as just one more little touch to this already creative extravaganza.

Thanks Red Radish. You saved our bacon!

Dearest Wayne + Lucy

We all wanted to send you a special thanks for you complete flexibility and un-ending support with our St Tropez fashion photo shoots for Balmain. You were both so warm and accommodating and a true asset to the team – you saved our bacon with those bacon sandwiches and quick thinking lunches!

It would not have been the same without you, and for that we’re all truly grateful.

Many, many thanks.

Artist Catering and Riders for bands including Razorlight, The Feeling and Texas.

Another great event catering job Red Radish handled during the course of  summer 2012 was to supply the artist backstage catering and alcohol riders at a music festival in Hampshire. Bands included Razorlight, The Feeling, Magic Numbers and Texas and as usual their management company were delighted with not only the great food but also our friendly service. Bands tend to travel with quite an entourage including production, sound and  lighting plus often a large bunch of family and friends who all need looking after and feeding. It is often an an ever-changing requirement that requires not only an adaptable team but also meticulous planning

Timing, privacy, quality and enthusiasm are all also essential in making sure (sometimes) demanding artists and band members are 100% happy and ready to sing their hearts out. Rock stars and warm beer are not after all two likely bed-fellows so every detail needs to be totally perfect and usually in a situation where the most basic of equipment is often not quite to hand . We however love the challenge of keeping everyone happy as we try to juggle the rest of the crew’s requirements around the lead-singers passion and express wishes for a Vegemite sandwich and an ice cold bottle of Brazilian Skol beer at being delivered to his dressing room at exactly 7.43 in the evening. That is after all Showbiz!

Private Party Catering on a Super Yacht in Cannes

Red Radish have been chosen from a long list of French Riviera Caterers to organise the staff, equipment and catering for a private 21st birthday party of the son of the owners of a beautiful 50m yacht currently anchored just outside Cannes. Being Cannes based was a definite advantage for this wonderful family of British-Indians, along with of course the ability to speak English and supply a completely diverse menu choice including lots of delicious Red Radish Canapés, Asian Fusion and imaginative Sushi created on demand by our own on-board chef. As well as the delicious food we will also be organising the sound and lighting equipment for the International DJ who is flying into Cannes just for the party celebrations, plus our usual bevy of beautiful waitresses and a couple of great barmen to add even more flair to this wonderful event.


We have catered for private parties on boats right across the Mediterranean and in all the main ports of Monaco, Saint Tropez, Antibes and Cannes so obviously working on super-yachts is not a new experience to Red Radish but never the less, we are as excited as ever and really can’t wait to help make sure this young man and his friends and family have a party they will remember forever.

PS: Don’t forget Red Radish can supply provisioning, fine-wines and Champagne right across the French Riviera. Actually we can supply just about anything you might need to hire, rent or buy, however obscure, so by all means give us a call and if we can’t get what you need then we almost certainly know a man that can!

Experienced festival caterer, ideal for backstage, bands and crew

Hampton Court Palace Festival kicked off in true style last night as Liza Minnelli and her tour crew wowed the crowd at what has to be one of the most stunning event venue locations in London. Hundreds of guests picniced in the beautiful grounds as they literally prepared to ‘eat to the beat’, and despite the UK weather trying to ruin the party everything went exactly as the planners expected, and the crowd loved every minute right from the very first beat of this long standing London music festival. As well as having to cater for the great crew from PWR Events and their entire production team, Red Radish are also in charge of the artist catering for Ms Minnelli (and the rest of bands and artists) and her entourage at this ten night music extravaganza. Feeding tricky artist can sometimes be a challenge but Liza and her crew knew exactly what they wanted to eat and her Stage Manager, Matt Berman even gave Red Radish a mention in the ‘thank you fax’ he sent to PWR the next morning. Praise like that is hard to beat!

Our specialist mobile kitchen catering marquee sits nestled nicely in the heart of the Royal Palace next to the Royal Tennis Court. Tennis has been played at Hampton Court for almost as long as the Palace has stood there. Present knowledge suggests the first court was built in Tudor times by Cardinal Wolsey in the early 1500’s and it is one of the only courts in the world catering for spectators. We feel very lucky to have been chosen by PWR as the caterer for the crew and artists at this wonderful location and simply cannot wait for tonight’s artist Jools Holland who apparently has a couple of special guests who know EXACTLY what they want to eat!

Cannes Lions Festival Catering

Inspiring Creativity is at the heart of both Cannes Lions Festival and the chefs at Cannes based catering company Red Radish. The Lions advertising Festival caters for professionals who love to debate, learn and be inspired; it is where the greatest industry honours are handed out; where those pushing creative communications forward are celebrated and hopefully crowned champion. We like to think of ourselves as creative chefs putting together inspirational and imaginative parties which is why we love it when the creatives hit town. Cannes Lions is the favourite festival  of Red Radish, but just please don’t tell the film folk we said so!

This year’s Lions Festival dates are 17 – 23 June 2012 and just like Red Radish it will be based around Cannes and the world famous Palais des Festival.

Crew Catering

We love a nice crew and artist catering event and with London and the UK still buzzing from the Queen’s magnificent Jubilee party and the brilliant concert arranged by ‘surely-soon-to-be-knighted’ organiser and Take That front man Gary Barlow, we are chomping at the bit to get started at our next location which is this years Hampton Court Palace music festival which starts on Thursday and where we will catering from our specially erected Red Radish Marquee for the likes of Frankie Valli and the boys from up the junction, Squeeze. Lucy packed up her catering equipment and flew back to London on Saturday where she has been busy shopping and putting the final touches to her menus and no doubt planning a thousand jobs for me to do.


The festival organisers PWR events in London have been planning this musical feast alongside their countless other festivals and events and we are sure it is going to be even more successful than last years brilliant event. We are looking forward to a few weeks in London where we are intent on making sure that PWR and their crew of technicians and staff are just as well fed as our superstar  and music business clients!
