Vegetarian Meals
There is an ever-increasing likely hood that at least one of your guests is going to have vegetarian or other such special dietary requirements. This does not necessarily affect the menu options open to you as we would be more that happy to accommodate such requests. Suitable starters are already listed on some of the menus and enclosed is a selection of the popular vegetarian main courses that we could offer: -

Wild Rice and Spinach Roast with Honey Roasted Vegetables
Roast Vegetable Tart with Butternut Squash Savoury Vegetable Crumble

Please make one selection only from the above list. As you will appreciate we obviously need to know in advance of any such requests so it is always wise to check with your guests when organizing the event for any special dietary requirements

Equipment Hire
As already mentioned many of the smaller venues and marquees in which we cater do not have the equipment required or facilities suitable to provide a cooked meal. It is therefore necessary to hire cookers and /or hot cupboards in order to provide your chosen menu. Based on 100 covers and subject to the menu you select the surcharge would be approximately £ 2.50 per head
Wines and Other Drinks
We are able to supply from a wide range of wines that can both compliment your chosen menu and also fit within a given budget. Our suggestions for wedding receptions are included on a separate sheet .

Alternatively you may wish to supply your own wines. We are more than happy to do this, however we will levy a charge from £5.00 per 75 cl. bottle used to cover the provision of extra staff and refrigeration to chill the wines as well as all glasses. These charges do not apply, if we were to supply the wine for your function.

If you are going to supply your own wines but are unsure on the exact quantities you may require please contact us for advice on the amounts you will need to consider buying.

Licensed Bar
We are able to provide a fully licensed bar for any event. Experienced bar staff will be on hand to look after all your guests’ requirements.

Please note that at some venues there is already a resident bar service which may preclude you from supplying your own wines or us from either of the above services.

Bands, Discos, Photography , Balloons and Florists
Through our many years of experience and numerous contacts we are pleased to offer assistance or advice on other services that are available to make your party or event run smoothly.

Master of Ceremonies
A Master of Ceremonies always adds a touch of dignity and efficiency to any event should you require a formally dressed, red-coated toastmaster we are able to arrange this for you or alternatively our Head Waiter / Waitress will be more than happy to assist in order for you to relax and enjoy fully the occasion.

Venue Finding and Marquees
Having gone through our various menus you may be stuck for a suitable place to hold your event. We will be pleased to assist you to locate a venue to suit all your requirements. Alternatively you may be seeking to hold your event in a marquee,
we have worked with all the major marquee companies in the East Anglia and would be happy to offer our advice on the styles and ranges available
