Through the Keyhole with
Doggart & Squash
We catch-up with Clare Doggart and Sarah Haggie, co-founders of London-based catering company, Doggart & Squash. We get their recommendations for keeping spirits high, from the perfect cocktail recipe to where to stock up on feel-good treats.
In a nutshell: Doggart and Squash are a boutique caterer, creating heavenly menus for events across the UK. Since lockdown, Clare & Sarah have (in lightning speed!) started a delivery service for boxes of fresh fruit and veg, with the prettiest British flowers by Lucy Vail.
LAY LOVES: their homemade brownies that look very moreish. Just one of the seriously tempting treats on their new delivery menu.
