Informal Feasting

Our favourite, current food trend is ‘Informal feasting’, where guests sit at long tables and enjoy sharing plates with charred meats, fish, artisan breads and relishes, with the table dressed with eclectic crockery and glassware.

These menus will be served down the tables for guests to graze, with sauces & relishes to complement and food presented on natural woods, slates and colourful glassware.  It of course can also be plated.

Amuse Bouche:

Flat breads olives, hummus, tzatziki & oils set down the tables.
