15+ Guests for dinner.....pushed for time??!
We can make great looking food tailored to your needs, which is easy to serve, tastes delicious and you can enjoy the party!!
This menu provides professional, modern buffet style foods using a combination of quality ingredients from our delicatessen, house style & efficient service. All orders must be collected from the Deli.
We can build & present your chosen menu into your own dishes or can lend our equipment for return promptly after your event. All our food is hand prepared in our Environmental Health approved kitchen at the Delicatessen. Our products may contain traces of nuts. Our specialist breads are delivered fresh each morning by Newnham Bakery. Payment can be made by visa, cash or cheque.
Please Note: Our portion sizes are very generous as we prefer that you have too much rather than too little. Portion sizes are designed as if one person is eating just that item alone. For example, a portion of cous cous salad would probably serve 2 or even 3 guests if you had a buffet with a selection of items
