Starters
When we sit down and plan your menu with you, there are a number of factors we will take into account, for example the timescales for your event, you and your guest’s preferences, tradition and your budget.
We’ve always found that good planning and outstanding food has consistently helped us to meet client expectations.
Some meals lend themselves as an exceptional first course and here are just a few examples of starters for distinctly diverse palates.

Smoked Salmon & Rocket Salad
A special combination of traditionally oak smoked prime salmon accompanied with hot smoked mackerel fresh from local kilns. Served on a bed of wild rocket, this is a superb light starter that combines delicate flavours and excellent local produce.
Mezze Platter
Bringing a little of the continental Spanish to your table. Served in the centre of your table on a Lazy Susan, this wonderful array of morsels becomes the focal point for conversation amongst your guests. This is a very flexible dish that can consist of a whole host of ingredients.
Tomato & Aubergine Gateaux
Serve as a starter or main course, these well-paired ingredients are skilfully pan fried in light olive oil and cracked black pepper, baked and turned out onto a bed of fresh pearl barley with a distinct red wine vinaigrette.
Parma Ham & Melon
With its distinct flavour and delicate texture, Parma Ham has always had its place when served with melon. We serve ours with a delicious homemade apple chutney and Italian bread.
