We have created this menu and choices to offer a wide selection for your event; however,

our chef and events team would be happy to discuss any ideas you may have.

Although we strive to fulfil all requests, we need all catering orders to be placed at least 2 weeks in advance if at all possible. After this time adjustments can be made, subject to availability.

Any special dietary requirements or kosher meals are available on request with prior notice.

Our menu dishes are prepared in environments that are not totally free from allergen ingredients. Our hygiene practices are designed to reduce the risk of allergen contamination and our catering teams receive training to help ensure that these standards are met.

Our recipes change from time to time. Should you have concerns about ingredients in our dishes please do not hesitate to ask.

The majority of our menu is inclusive of service staff to deliver your choice of catering. Should you wish to discuss a bespoke service style for your event please discuss this during the planning process. We will advise of any additional costs associated.

Our menu prices are based on service times 08.00 - 22.00, Monday - Saturday. Please be aware that for service outside these hours including Sundays additional charges may apply.

Our catering tables will be laid out with our house cloths. Should you wish to continue this colour theme on your conference/exhibition tables there is a fee of £7 per cloth.

Should you wish to cancel your catering order we require a written notification.
