Rocket's July Newsletter

Dear Rocket friend,

As we navigate the peak of our summer season, we've been delighted to orchestrate a variety of enchanting soirées at prestigious venues across the capital (despite the often-uncooperative British weather!) In addition to spectacular weekend celebrations in the country and several stunning weddings, we’ve been especially thrilled to host an array of events at the Royal Academy set against the backdrop of the Summer Exhibition, as well as events at the newly refurbished Orangery at Kensington Palace. Another special highlight this month has been Pocket Rocket's role supplying the official caterer for The Wimbledon Championships. Read on to discover more.  

As August approaches, our event schedule slows down slightly, allowing our team to take some well-deserved breaks. We’ve gathered some of their favourite recent travel destinations and culinary highlights to inspire your own wanderlust – scroll down to read more. 

While the pace of events may ease up next month, our culinary team is busier than ever testing and finalising our new autumn-winter menus. Stay tuned for an exciting reveal of our à la carte, canapé, and food stall menus coming in September. Looking for venue inspiration? Be sure to check out our incredible roster of affiliated venues and do get in touch for advice and recommendations.  

Wishing you a fabulous end to your summer. 

Best wishes, 

The Rocket Team
