Our Catering menu

  • V Vegan
  • GF Gluten Free
  • NF Nut Free

A selection of all-you-can-eat dishes served on beautiful platters with curated props, wooden table risers, repurposed flower arrangements, books and tablecloths.

Hot dishes are served hot, and we will set up everything required to enjoy the food - we will just need access to an on-site kitchen (even if it is just minimal facilities like a sink, bench space and power plugs).

Dinner plates, cutlery and serving spoons and compostable napkins are all included in the pricing - basically everything you need to enjoy the food (apart from the table itself!).

Minimum requirement for the Styled Buffet is 15 people. Wait staff are an option addition - please get in touch if you're interested in this option.

All the food was absolutely delicious
Amy catered a recent work party, and I can't recommend her offering enough. We had many dietary requirements with allergies and intolerances. All the food was absolutely delicious – we were all so impressed!
