Catering Enhancements...

Over 40 years in the hospitality industry we’ve picked up some great ideas that could enhance your mealtimes. If any of these take your fancy, please speak to the Sales Team who will work out a price either for a stand-alone event, or as an upgrade to our Meeting Packages.
This is by no means an exhaustive list: in fact, the only limit to what we can provide is your imagination!
Please note these sample menus are for illustrative purposes only and may differ from venue to venue and according to seasonal availability of ingredients.
