‘Seasonal, local, laid back catering with a conscience.’
In this busy world we live in, it’s easy to take for granted the fact that we can have any food we fancy literally delivered to our doorstep with the click of the button. Mange tout from Kenya, tomatoes (during British tomato season) from Spain, or Pak Choi (a vegetable happy to grow in winter in the UK) from Italy. If we stop and look around, we can discover and huge variety of beautiful, locally grown vegetables at our disposal. Norfolk is a metropolis (I bet you never thought you’d hear those 4 words together!) when it comes to fantastic produce. From vegetables straight out of the ground, to seafood fresh off the fishing boats. This is what we want to celebrate. We will strive to use only local and seasonal produce wherever possible, thereby keeping our carbon footprint to a minimum. Because of this, we will have an ever evolving menu suited to whichever season we are cooking in. If you have a party cooked by us in two different seasons, you’ll have two very different, exciting menus! We are excited!
In our many years in the catering industry we have seen and been upset by the vast quantities of wasted food. This is something that has never sat right with us considering the millions of people all over the world and even in this country, that have to make do with insufficient food and nutrition every day of their lives. For this reason we aim to keep our waste to an absolute minimum and donate some of our profits from the year to local food shelters.
