Inclusive Options For All

Our menus are designed to be as inclusive as possible. We offer vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free menus. We can also offer a wide range of catering options to those with allergies or special dietary requirements, and provide Halal and Kosher catering upon request.

When it comes to drinks, we also believe that inclusion is key. Our venue is teetotal, which means that we do not serve alcohol. However, we believe that this shouldn’t stop our guests from enjoying a drinks reception after their event.

Our team has crafted an exciting alcohol-free and mocktail menu, featuring some mocktail staples, alcohol-free beers, wines and even champagnes!

For your summer events, we also have party packages, including mocktails and canapés for a relaxed evening in our courtyard.

Ethical and Sustainable Catering

With us, events don’t cost the earth. So, it was all natural for us to partner with Thomas Franks on our sustainable journey.

We pay particular attention to food waste, have a zero waste to landfill commitment, have banned plastic from our venue and make local sourcing a priority. Thomas Franks perfectly align with our ethos, as they’ve implemented bio-digesters to recycle food waste and use eco-friendly vehicles for their deliveries. They’re currently working on their B-Corp certification, which would be a first for a contract caterer.

Don’t just take our word for it
