40th Birthday Party to Remember

Turning 40 is a milestone worth celebrating in style, and what better way to do it than with a summer garden and pool party. This celebration took place in the Hampshire countryside. From the drinks reception to the elegant sail tent marquee, tents and lively pool party, this party was a 40th birthday to remember.

The lunch party was held in the picturesque garden, where a sailcloth marquee was beautifully set up for the celebration. Within the tent, tables were dressed with elegant pastel floral tablecloths and lush green plants in terracotta pots adorned the tables.

A large, elegant white house with a manicured lawn and a white event tent set up in front, surrounded by trees and greenery under a blue sky.

The Menu

Guests were welcomed into the house with chilled Champagne and fine wines.

The Peapod & Co. team served an exquisite selection of canapés from the sea, soil, and land, all beautifully presented on innovative trays. The canapés included: Chargrilled ponzu broccoli taco with whipped avocado, coconut, and pickled ginger, Botanical tuna sea garden with kaffir lime, ginger, and avocado, Prawn and ginger toast with sesame, Crispy pork belly with sweetcorn purée and crispy sage, Confit duck with plum and pickled daikon, and Crispy fried chicken with brown sugar waffle and cucumber pickle.

Following the canapés and drinks reception, guests moved into the marquee for a three-course lunch, chosen by the client. The hosts shared heartfelt words, reminiscing about memories, toasting to milestones and to the next chapter of life.

Pool Party

After the summer lunch, it was time for the fun to really kick off.

Guests headed to the pool area, cocktails in hand and music pumping in the background. A lifeguard —think Baywatch meets Love Island— was on hand to ensure safety while adding to the playful, summer vibe. A roaming band made its way through the crowd, filling the air with popular tunes.

Later, the DJs took to the decks over by the pool, spinning tracks that got everyone on their feet.

Every detail was meticulously planned to create the perfect 40th birthday party — a milestone celebration to remember.
