Menus
As the nature of each event is so unique, it is normally best to get in touch and discuss the menu options to see what best suits your needs. We can deliver to you and set up, using either disposable platters or our white china, slate, stainless steel and wooden serving dishes, which we can collect at a pre-arranged time, unwashed so you don’t have to worry about a thing. Or we can provide staff to cook, serve, clear and take everything away. Therefore, options may range from a cold food delivery to a formal sit-down meal including linen and cutlery hire. To give you an idea of the kind of food we can offer, please see the following selections with the links below, bearing in mind that we can, of course, cater for all special diets and create other interesting bespoke or themed menus.
