“Plyvine was founded in 1980 by company owner Phil Matthews. Initially providing outside bars but evolving to provide catering for all kinds of weddings and events.

The business looks successful enough, but Plyvine seems to be fairly regular providers of catering at ‘hunt balls’ – fundraisers for hunts involving plenty of alcohol and belting out tuneless renditions of old Spandau Ballet hits while older members reminisce about pre-Hunting Act days when they didn’t have to pretend to lay trails…
