A closer look at our spring-summer bowl food 🥣

Made for mingling and ideal for standing receptions, our bowl food menu brings together the same bold flavours, vibrant colours, varied textures and seasonal British ingredients as our main courses, only in a more relaxed, easy-to-eat format.

Think Chalk Stream trout with shaved fennel, bitter orange and basil; Lake District lamb with Parmesan potato, mint salsa verde and gem lettuce; and burrata with Isle of Wight tomatoes, nectarine and basil pesto.

The art of the canapé ✨

We asked Executive Chef Ben .mccracken.93 what makes the perfect canapé. For him, it’s about bold flavours, crisp textures and seasonal ingredients — all packed into one clean, elegant bite that’s easy to eat and made to stand out.

What’s your canapé non-negotiable?

Save room for dessert 👀

We’re seriously proud of our spring-summer desserts, designed by our talented pastry chef Amran to ensure that your event always ends on a high.

From strawberry tart with elderflower and vanilla cream, to chocolate mousse with cocoa nib tuile and salted caramel, Amran has a knack for creating desserts that are as visually striking as they are delicious, with multiple layers of flavour and textures.

Which one would you pick?
