About the Company

Event Venues | Event Catering | Restaurants | Champagne Bars | Masterclasses and Ticketed Events | Gifts | English Sparkling Wine and Champagne Delivery Searcys is a British hospitality company known for its elegant restaurants, Champagne bars, and catering services, especially in prestigious and historic venues. And while we are always looking forward, we remain firmly rooted in our rich heritage. Founded in 1847, our story can be traced back to the vision of one man: Victorian entrepreneur and the Duke of Northumberland's confectioner, John Searcy. He honed his skills catering at private parties for royalty and high society, and word soon spread of his talent. After 10 years of service to the Duke and Duchess, he set up his very own hospitality company in 1847. Before long, he became the most sought-after caterer in the area, renowned for his artistry and attention to detail.
