The Ripe Avocado

Smoke. Sweetness. Spice. 🔥🍍🥭

A dish that travels - from open-fire cooking traditions to sun-soaked tropical notes.

Smoked chicken layered with pineapple and mango, finished with a rich, crispy chicken skin sauce that brings depth, texture and just the right amount of indulgence.

A subtle nod to global influences - where flame, fruit and bold flavour meet.

Where every course brings people closer 🤍

Set on the cusp of spring turning into summer, Miranda & Elliot’s wedding at The Queen’s House was all about soft light, sweeping views across Greenwich Park, and a sense of quiet magic.

The iconic black and white tiled floor led the design, layered with muted linens, delicate white, yellow and cream florals, and a tablescape that felt fresh, elegant and effortless.

We designed a menu to mirror it all - refined yet full of personality, with moments of surprise woven throughout. From golden-hour drinks to candlelit dining, every detail was created to feel considered, but never overdone.

“...the food, drinks, service, tablescaping, organisation and staff were all truly extraordinary and beyond our expectations. It was a perfect day.” – Bride

“...the whole ensemble, canapés included, was perfect in conception and execution.” – Father of the Bride

As the sun set, the energy shifted - guests returning from views across the Thames to late-night pizzas, bringing everyone back together for one final, joyful moment.
Because the best weddings aren’t just seen… they’re felt (and tasted).

Proof that small bites can still steal the show ✨

Not your average chocolate bar… 🍫

For World Chocolate Day, we’re celebrating chocolate in a way that goes beyond the expected. Thoughtfully sourced, deeply flavoured, and designed to surprise.

Crack the shell and it reveals something else entirely. Dark chocolate mousse, roasted plantain, salted caramel, and coconut crunch. Layers of richness, balanced with just the right amount of sweetness and contrast.

Plantain is a whole way of life across African cultures. Fried, boiled, grilled, baked. Sweet or savoury. Here, it brings depth, natural sweetness and a story worth telling.

Because great chocolate should do more than taste good. It should be responsibly sourced, carefully considered, and part of something bigger.

Dessert, reimagined.

Marigolds, warm hues, and flavour that tells a story 🌼

For this Day of the Dead-inspired celebration of the new Frida Kahlo exhibition, we approached the theme through every sense, not just the visuals.

From Chorizo lollipops with chipotle mayo to Prawn tostadas with mango cream, each dish echoed the richness, colour, and contrast of the setting.

And, of course, no TRA party is complete without a little fun… enter our ‘Pimp your Guacamole’ station, where guests built bold, flavour-packed combinations their way.

Even the sweeter moments, like Churros with spiced cinnamon sugar and Aztec chocolate, were designed to feel indulgent, nostalgic, and full of depth.

A celebration of culture, craft, and connection, reimagined The Ripe Avocado way.

Strawberries and cream… served our way 🍓✨

Celebrating the start of Wimbledon with a dessert that’s giving more than tradition.

Strawberry and mint compote, tonka ganache, vanilla mousse and savoiardi sponge, layered underneath for a finish that’s as elegant as it is indulgent.

Centre court energy, plated.

One of London’s most creative venues just got a little more delicious. 🥑

We’re thrilled to share that we’ve been accredited as a caterer at the ICA (Institute of Contemporary Arts), one of the capital’s most iconic destinations for contemporary culture and creativity.

From bold product launches and stylish receptions to unforgettable celebrations, we can’t wait to bring our food, drinks and signature hospitality to this inspiring space.

Here’s to creative events, exceptional experiences, and a few canapés worthy of a gallery opening.

Planning an event at the ICA? We’d love to help bring it to life.

British asparagus, but make it a little bit extra. ✨

Spiced sweet potato bringing the warmth, honey for that subtle sweetness, and confit tomato for a rich, slow depth, all nestled into the perfect bite-sized tart.

Quintessentially British, with a little Mediterranean sunshine and a nod to our African roots.

Small bite, big personality. 🌿

June Venue Spotlight: Unit X ✨

This month, it’s all about The Stables.

Tucked away in Covent Garden, this space has that perfect mix of grit and polish. Exposed brick, layered levels and a courtyard that completely changes the flow of an event.

It’s the kind of venue that invites big ideas. From immersive brand moments to beautifully considered dining, it adapts effortlessly while keeping its character.
We love spaces that do both.

(And for a more refined, gallery-style setting, Unit X also offers 3 Hanover Square in Mayfair.)
