Hisss went Snake Girl

Fizz client parties are the perfect setting for new and prospective Fizz clients to experience our catering and entertainment first hand. One recent event was held at London Zoo in the elegant Prince Albert Suite. Guests enjoyed cocktails and a trip to watch the bears being fed on Bear Mountain, before they tucked into canapés and bowl food themselves. These were served by waiting staff dressed as African warriors, complete with war paint!! And a snake girl who slid through guests as they mingled..

Sharks Ahoy
.: Sharks Ahoy :.

A 50th birthday, a surprise party and an obsession with sharks was the brief given to Fizz to create a special event. Fizz proposed an ocean theme, set on the Cutty Sark – the world’s only surviving tea clipper. Guests were greeted with Venus rising from a clam shell as they arrived, were served champagne by Mermaids and dined at tables named after well known sharks. A cake shaped as a Great White followed a gourmet dinner and entertaining speeches created by Fizz’s Master of Ceremonies.

For private or corporate events that stand out from the crowd, call Fizz for initial design proposals that guarantee a special occasion.

Divine Pies

To reflect current trends for mini portions of main course items and a preference to ‘graze’ instead of a traditional meals, Fizz have developed a range of mini portions. Each an exquisitely created ‘single mouthful’ sized pie. Favourites include Shepherd's Pie Steak & Kidney Pie or Caramelised Apple Pie & Custard.
These items work wonderfully well for all types of events and offer a substantial add on to canape events whilst still being easy to eat. Tasting sessions for menus are held on a regular basis. This ensures that menus are developed in conjunction with client feedback and take advantage of the season's finest ingredients.

Fizz Flowers

Yan, leading London florist, works in tandem with Fizz to create individual design for special events. In recent months, Yan has designed stunning displays for Christian Dior reflecting their advertising campaigns and a look with ‘lots of bling’ (complete with flying helicopters) for Bentley cars.
For larger events, Fizz creates detailed proposals of themes which include hand drawn designs for flowers and prop displays.
