Fabulous feasts & exceptional events

At Parsnip Mash, we believe great events start with great food, and that the best celebrations are the ones that feel completely, unmistakably yours.

We create memorable wedding and event experiences across Bristol, and surrounding counties. From intimate weddings and elegant canapé receptions to spectacular marquee celebrations, we create deliciously bespoke food and take care of the details that will make your event feel effortless.

Food worth celebrating

We’re passionate about food that tastes as good as it looks. Our chefs create imaginative, seasonal menus designed around you; your tastes, your style, your guests and your venue setting.

We work closely with trusted local producers and suppliers, prioritising South West ingredients and making thoughtful choices around seasonality, provenance and sustainability. We believe good food should have a sense of place, and we love showcasing the incredible produce on our doorstep.

Whether you’re after relaxed sharing plates, a beautifully executed wedding breakfast, indulgent street food or elegant canapés, we’ll create a menu that feels personal.

Events that feel like you

No two celebrations are the same, so we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.

We work with you to understand what matters most, then create an event around it. That might mean an intimate dinner with your closest friends and family, a huge summer party under canvas, or a wedding that brings together all the little details you’ve been dreaming about.

We’re creative, flexible and comfortable thinking outside the box. Whether you have a crystal-clear vision or simply know that you want something a bit different, we’ll help turn your ideas into an event that feels unmistakably yours.

A team that makes it easy

Great events don’t just happen. Behind every memorable celebration is a huge amount of planning, coordination and attention to detail – and that’s where we come in.

Our experienced events team can take care of as much or as little as you need, from catering and staffing to the wider organisation of your day. We can help with venue finding, entertainment, photographers, flowers and other trusted suppliers, bringing everything together so you don’t have to.

And because we really do love weddings, we understand that it’s the little things that matter. We’re there to keep everything moving, solve the unexpected, and make sure you and your guests can relax and enjoy the occasion.

From the first conversation to the last plate, you’ll have a friendly, experienced team who genuinely care about getting it right.

Beautiful food. Thoughtful planning. Exceptional events.

That’s Parsnip Mash.

Fantastic food, brilliant people and a pleasure to work with!

wedding at the orangery

Parsnip Mash catered and coordinated our wedding at the orangery. They were so flexible with foods options and together we created our own personal menu for the day. All of our guests commented about how delicious the food was. The on the day coordination was fantastic and they were super helpful when the band we hired were being difficult. The waiting staff were amazing and Verity really smashed the organisation on the day.
