Catering & long-tablesEast Sussex · Kent · London SW
The long
table in the
garden.
Wren Table is a small catering kitchen near Rye, working from a converted barn at Beckley. We cater weddings, suppers, wakes, christenings and the odd film set, all from one menu — what is at the market that morning and what is in the garden that afternoon. Plan yours below.
