A selection of menus

Here you will find a whole range of different menus ideas and suggestions, but they are just a starting point - you can have pretty much whatever you like (within reason!). Buffets, Served Meals, Canapé and Reception ideas. I am renowned for my Afternoon Tea menus, and you will also find menus specifically for Jewish functions.

These are just some suggestions to get you started. I offer a very wide range of dishes and always create a menu especially for you and your guests. ​Mix and match from these or other menu suggestions, almost any dishes can be prepared as finger or fork food, ideal for canapés and receptions.

​Served at the Table

At a served function the presentation of the food on the plate adds to the style and panache of your function. Many people choose an assiette of 3 or 4 desserts, or a dessert buffet after a served main course. For these suggestions I have offered a meat, fish and vegetarian option, but you are free to mix and match as you wish.
