Middleton questions
Do you come out to small places like Middleton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Can it be more formal?
It can be as relaxed or polished as you like, with plates or china.

Do you cater open days with families?
Open days are a great fit, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
Can you work around our timings?
