Wedding and event catering
We can provide a Middle Eastern feast for your wedding, party or corporate event. We can serve your food several different ways: 'festival style' from our decorated gazebo; laid out as a spectacular-looking buffet for guests to help themselves to; or a full waitered service, with the food brought to the tables. Middle Eastern food is normally served as a 'meze', similar to tapas, where a lot of small dishes are provided for the guest to choose from. You can, of course, have starters and a sweet course on top of this, so we offer these too.
We can also arrange hire of all the tableware you may need: table linen, crockery and cutlery and glassware, plus tables and chairs
​
Please see below for the range of dishes we typically offer. Prices depend on a range of factors including guest numbers, location and whether or not equipment hire is required, so please give us a ring or email to discusss your exact requirements. For a typical meze, we'd suggest choosing one or two warm dishes, a rice dish, two or three cold dishes and a couple of dips.
