The private catering service

Have a look at some of the sample menus for inspiration.

Get in touch so we can discuss your requirements fully.

I create an individually tailored menu with costs outlined in an emailed quote.

Once agreed, we’re all set to go!

On the day, I arrive a few hours before you want to eat with any specific equipment and prepared food.
Some food will be cooked last minute, eg fish.

I will present the food beautifully on serving plates. Myself or an assistant will serve you at your table.

Clearing up will be taken care of and I’ll leave the place sparkling clean.

Please get in touch. Call Val on 07725 476663 or send me a few details using the form on the right.

It’s difficult to give a price. It all depends on the menu, numbers, location and what’s involved. My menus are quite extensive with lots of dishes. The higher the numbers, the lower the cost per head. As a price guide, the minimum price I’ve catered for is £35 per head for a group of 100 at a wedding. Average price for a group of 12 is £75-85 price per head. This includes menu planning, shopping, cost of quality ingredients, preparation of food and associated costs involved such as petrol, utilities, equipment, kitchen hire on occasion, kitchen running costs and insurance.
With most meals an assistant is required to help with serving and clearing. An assistant usually works out approximately £60 and chefs, on larger jobs, £150 per day. This will all be detailed in the quote I send across once all your requirements are confirmed.
