Menu selection

We strongly recommend that a single choice of buffet is made for each event. This allows all your guests to enjoy the full range of dishes. If you do choose to have more than one buffet menu for your event you must have a minimum of 30 people per menu. To add variety to your buffet why not choose additional items from the ‘essential extras’?

Special dietary requirements, including religious options can be catered for, please state your requirements when placing your order. We cannot guarantee that our food does not contain traces of nuts. Menus are subject to change according to the availability of products. All prices are exclusive of VAT with the exception of alcohol. If you need any advice or would like to discuss your requirements in more detail with a member of the catering team please do not hesitate to call the Streatham team on (72)3556 or the St Luke's team on (72)4885.
