Fabulous to be back at Golowan last weekend – first Golowan in 3 years and our first without the trailer. It was so good to see everyone again after so long.
Golowan 2022
A recent wedding
We’re getting back into the wedding vibe again – its so lovely to get such lovely feedback.
‘Thank you so so much for the amazing food on the day! We honestly had so many people say how delicious the food was and compliments to the chef. So again, thank you, it all added to make it such a special and incredible day for us.’

The trailer
We bought the trailer back in 2008 – its been with Lafafa Catering since we began – its been home from home out on the festival circuit, it was there at our first wedding we catered and it served us loyally through lockdown. Sadly it is structurally unsound and so we cannot take it out on the road.
We’ll still be there at our favourite local events in our white gazebo (with Lafafa branding) so look out for us and check our facebook page for outings like Golowan this next weekend. Saturday 25 June at Green Market Car Park and Sunday outside the Meadery.
Otherwise we will be catering weddings, parties and private events so get in touch for a quote (07530070417)
Lafafa Catering in 2022
Our 2022 season is underway so here’s an update on our activities so far:
We warmed up for the season with a supper club at Crugsillick Manor for Potluck Cornwall. With a continuous mezze and a meddley of puddings it was a great sucess.
Next came a lovely private party at Godolphin house – planned for lockdown years, the birthday celebration eventually happened in April this year.
This last weekend we did a faulous wedding in North Cornwall with 165 lunchtime servings and a whooping 300 for the evening meal. After a few hiccups with the oven, all went well and we hope we managed to produce a memorable meal – there were lots of positive feedback from guests and wedding couple alike.
Campsite catering
Over the summer Lafafa Catering has been catering on Mondays at Dove Meadow campsite in Marazion and Wednesdays at Higher Portreath campsite in Praa Sands.
This Monday will be our last session. Thanks to both campsites and all our lovely customers.
Slowly getting out and about
We’re catering the FNL VW show with the trailer at Treen campsite this weekend. Great to be doing a weekend event after so long and at such a beautiful location – its been great!
Over the summer we’ve been catering local campsites as well as at St Pirans Hall where weve been catering for over a year.
Weddings are live and happening again
After a year of either no weddings or tiny weddings we have started catering the sizes of weddings we have always been used to.
This is Jess and Duncan’s wedding in Shepton Mallet. Held in an old barn – look how beautiful you can make a venue with a little time and imagination.
Saturday 1 May at the Portreath Arms
Lafafa Catering will be The Portreath Arms with their colourful trailer and delicious food on Saturday 1 May 2021.

Embracing the wedding spirit
We are trying not to get too excited but as the year progresses we are discussing future wedding plans with couples, feeling hopeful that we will be able to take them to fruition. Its great to read some of the feedback from past weddings to remind us of the buzz of working with couples to help create the day of their dreams.
Thank you so much for the incredible food you created for our wedding – guests were blown away, as were we.
The overall service was incredible —we can’t believe what you pulled off in that space’.
