Our Journey
Passion Fruit Catering was founded in 2015 by qualified Chef Director, Sara Gibson from a passion for cookery, a love of fine food and hospitality. The catering business was first based in our home kitchen and not before long expanded into commercial premises in Hertfordshire. The business has grown through word of mouth and recommendations and has developed a fantastic reputation, and the go-to catering company for exciting and beautiful parties.
In August 2022 we relocated to Poole, after a long awaited goal to live by the beautiful Dorset coast. We are thrilled to be here and are excited to be delivering our catering services across Dorset and continue to travel beyond for our existing clients.
Our mission since day one, is to deliver the highest standard, bespoke and unique party and event catering to a restaurant standard in the comfort of your home or venue. We pride ourselves on our impeccable attention to detail and anything is possible attitude.
