We’re often asked to cater reunions and family get-togethers and evening wedding food, serving halloumi skewers, chicken skewers and coleslaw.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, right through the service.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
