Not just another run-of-the-mill catering service - we care about the ingredients we use and the affect our food has on your health, and the health of your guests.
We aim to use only the best organic and natural ingredients - if we have to substitute any ingredient for non-organic due to unavailability we will tell you, but promise to only substitute if absolutely necessary, and then to still use the very best quality alternative we can find.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
PLEASE LET ME KNOW AT TIME OF BOOKING OF ANY KNOWN FOOD SENSITIVITIES OR ALLERGIES THAT YOU OR ANY OF YOUR GUESTS MAY HAVE.
Did you know that three out of four households in the UK now buy organic products on a regular basis?
With all the food scares of today, let us show you that eating organic food is safer, tastier and ultimately better for the environment - and need not cost a fortune.
Three very good reasons to choose organic:
| Safer: | Organic food is produced naturally, with unnecessary chemical sprays being avoided. Food additives are linked to asthma, heart disease and some cancers, and are therefore banned under organic standards. |
| Tastier: | Many people agree that organic food tastes better and is "like food used to taste". |
Environment and Animal Welfare: | Organic farming is friendlier to the environment so there is greater diversity of birds, butterflies and plants on organic farms. GM technology is banned. Animals are kept in more natural, free-range conditions with a more natural diet. |
Choose from the four options below - or we can tailor-make a selection for you using a combination of any, or all, of the four selections shown. Prices are a guideline only, as it all depends on what food selections are chosen, for example organic chicken and salmon/prawns are much more expensive than non-organic, however there is less difference in cost when it comes to eggs, cheese etc:
The Cottage Selection A selection of country farmhouse favourites, both savoury and sweet. Ideal for informal get-togethers with family and friends. Prices from £8.50 per person |
The Nostalgia Selection A selection of old-time favourites, just like Granny used to make. Ideal for coffee mornings or afternoon tea with special friends. Prices from £6.50 per person |
The Manor Farm Selection A selection of traditional and more unusual finger-food, salads and dips - savoury and sweet - with the more discerning guest in mind. Ideal for the sort of special occasion that calls for something a little out of the ordinary. Prices from £10 per person |
The Playground Selection A selection of children's favourites - healthy options disguised - even the chocolate is organic! Give your children's parties the edge - all the traditional ingredients but with a healthy and nutritious slant. No GM foods or chemical additives. Prices from £5 per child (under 10 years of age only - older children by arrangement) |
