Weddings, Parties & Corporate Events
The following menus have been designed to give you a flavour of our style, along with an overview of popular options. However, please feel free to mix and match – it’s your party!
The cost will depend on a number of factors (your venue, numbers, staffing requirements etc), so please don’t hesitate to contact us to discuss your event, so we can prepare an accurate quote for you.
Most of our menus include vegetarian options (v). In addition, we are of course, able to cater for other special dietary requirements – as long as you tell us beforehand!
