A LONDON company which organises functions and garden parties in Buckingham Palace are believed to have been engaged to provide the catering at the summertime JP McManus Invitation Pro-Am at Adare Manor Hotel golf course.

The catering company, Fait Accompli, yesterday did not comment when asked if they had been hired for the big July event at which Tiger Woods is expected to play.

As well as most of the top golfers in the world, celebrity guests who have accepted invitations to take part in the tournament include film actors Hugh Grant and Kyle MacLachlan.

Fait Accompli, one of whose principals, Camilla Monckton, is a close friend of members of the royal family, did the catering at the huge wedding in July 2007 of JP McManus’s daughter Sue Ann to Kerryman Cian Foley.
