Our Menus

Seasonal & scrumptious

Our menus for parties and weddings offer innovative dishes which look and taste fantastic. You can serve these yourself or have our staff to do the work for you. We also regularly change our menus as each new season brings its own selection of ingredients.

Winter means spices, ginger, cardamom, allspice, nutmeg, cloves, black pepper and cinnamon – to add warmth and depth to low and slow braises and casseroles, perfect for sharing. Warm salads of roast pumpkin or sweet potato, with hot and sour dressings. Imagine a table packed with delicious aromatic dishes and sparkling with colour.

Custom make your event by mixing and matching menus or tell us what you love most and we’ll have a go at making it for you.
