Events & Menus > Dinner Parties

What could be nicer than a freshly cooked meal around your dining table in the company of good friends?
 
Well, it would be even nicer if you weren’t flying round trying to get everything ready, wondering if your hair smells of onion, have you got time for a bath, or feeling trapped in the kitchen away from your guests.
 
Wouldn’t it be lovely if you could just… relax?
 
Our dinner party menus are as fresh, seasonal and personal as our others – we are more than open to your ideas and preferences and will get to know a bit about your event and make our own suggestions too - all you have to do then is decide what you’d like everyone to eat.
 
We will then arrive at your home at an agreed time, on the day, and cook and serve the meal.
 
If you would like some waiting staff, we can provide this - all our staff are friendly, pleasant and experienced and will be dressed in our corporate uniform.
 
Some people like to use their own table linen, decorations, crockery & cutlery and we are more than happy to accommodate this. If you would prefer us to arrive a little earlier and dress your table simply, we can do this for you.
 
We can provide our own white cotton tablecloths & napkins, bud vases & fresh garden flowers [season permitting!], plain white crockery, stainless steel cutlery,serving dishes, cafetieres… anything you might need really.
 
We even include a plate of delicious chocolates from Toot Sweets in Shrewsbury for you to have with your coffees at the end of the meal.
 
On this page, we have shown a recent spring dinner party menu that we provided for a client, as an example, but please feel free to get in touch to discuss your own requirements - we would be delighted to send out a no obligation menu and quote to you.

This client required a menu for a family celebration that their children would also enjoy.
