Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Clapton too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about texture-modified diets?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We’ll share allergen and menu details.

What if things run late?

Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
