ECLARE hosted a magical Christmas 40th Birthday Party (organised by Zest Events) that truly delivered something different. Guests arrived to Canapés served on mirror, glass and silver trays - reflecting the Winter Wonderland theme. This continued when they sat down to dine at tables decorated with huge cut glass and crystal candelabras, crystal hanging candlesticks and tall glass nightlights. To help keep the Event fun and informal, ECLARE chefs came table-side to carve the finest slithers of Rare Sirloin of Beef which were then plated to each of the Guests. Then, Guests enjoyed fabulous Cocktails served from an up-lit round bar, plus Breakfast Canapés served at 1am for all those planning to dance until dawn.
