Our custom-built charcoal barbecues can cater for over 100 people each and give an authentic smoky barbecue taste, unmatched by gas-fired equivalents. These flavours are complimented by a wide selection of hot sides, cold salads and home-made condiments for you to choose.
Canape Catering
We’ve had many hours of fun in our development kitchen working on the presentation of these canapes so that they look (and taste) completely unique, delicious and exciting. We use a variety of different canape trays with floral decorations tailored to suit your event such as slices of oak, slates, antique mirrors and many more, with bespoke canape trays custom-designed to complement your specific theme.
Food Stations
Our food stations could also be described as buffets with a twist, and are becoming ever more popular. We’ve spent time designing multi-tiered displays to match themes and venue styles and, of course, the food being presented. Choose from hot or cold menus or have a combination of the two, all handmade by our kitchen team from fresh, local ingredients and featuring our own cured and smoked produce.
Bowl Food caterers
Small bowls of exciting dishes from around the world. We can start with a theme or your favourite choices from our menus. The beautifully garnished bowls are served by our waiting staff for guests to nibble whilst chatting and enjoying the party. This makes an ideal evening food option, an alternative to canapes on arrival, or can replace a starter for a more informal yet substantial offering.
Hog Roast caterers
We use Sussex raised, free-range pork so that we know we’re roasting only the highest quality meat for your party. Our pigs are slow-cooked over charcoal for 8 hours to give a succulent depth of flavour and perfect crackling. Have it served simply in a bun with handmade apple sauce or choose from our large selection of specially designed sides and salads to compliment the main event.
Bespoke Menus
Sound expensive? It isn’t. If you’ve got ideas for your party like say… tapas, afternoon tea, a Vietnamese inspired menu, we can do it. We love being involved in the creation of catering excellence no matter what the demands. We regularly cater events where clients choose the entire menu themselves, inspired by travels or past experience. The best news is: we don’t charge a penny extra for this service.
Paella Party catering
Our authentic Mediterranean paella recipes are cooked in pans up to 1.2m in diameter, providing not only incredible flavour but unrivalled visual appeal, adding colourful and aromatic factors to any event. This can be served to the table or guests can come themselves to a food station and be served the paella straight from the pan. We lade the paella with fresh Brighton seafood, local meats and our own home-cured chorizo.
Buffet catering
Our extensive buffet menu comprises a wide variety of dishes to suit all tastes and party themes. There’s everything from continental inspired mezze platters and charcuterie boards, to British classics like game pies, cheeseboards and traditional afternoon tea. Our buffets options include hot or cold options to suit whatever your event or party should.
