McCrimmon and Reid
innovative seasonal menus created from the finest local produce.
Who we are…
McCrimmon and Reid is a growing family-owned business with a dedicated team of industry professionals led by Alan Haughie, the driving force behind the imaginative and innovative seasonal menus that set the company apart from its competitors.
Having grown up in Hampshire, Alan then set off to work at The Savoy in London, aspiring to learn from the best and serve classic cuisine of the highest quality.
His time in London saw him serve under many renowned chefs in many well-known London kitchens, such as Brasserie St Quentin in Knightsbridge and Patterson’s in Mayfair; he then set off to Europe as a private chef .
In 2008 he returned to England to take up a position at Lainston House and then, to his first head-chef position, at Hotel Terravina, in the New Forest. After 2 years of developing his approach to modern British cooking he moved back to the Test Valley and The Greyhound in Stockbridge, gaining the much-coveted Michelin Guide Pub of the Year award.
The philosophy of McCrimmon & Reid is to bring refined and innovative restaurant quality food to any location, for any number of guests.

What People Are Saying…
“Everyone raved about the food and it was wonderful being able to enjoy the company of our guests rather than haring about trying to feed them all.
The mushroom dish, in particular, was one of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten.
Any plans to release a cookbook by any chance?!”
Catherine Hackett
“Thank you so much for catering our wedding and wow….. It was even better then we could have ever dreamed of!
We can’t tell you how many of our guests have written to us to say how delicious all the food was. From the moreish canapes to the unforgettably tender Beef Wellington, it was all incredible.
We also want to thank all the staff who helped make the day so special, they were incredibly professional and friendly and most importantly made sure we always had a drink.
Hope to see you at another event soon “

Ebe and I remember being excited about all the food after our lovely tasting but we were completely blown away at the wedding – every course tasted even better than we remembered or could ever have imagined.
All our friends and family are writing to us saying it was the best wedding food they have ever had and can’t stop raving about it!
