Buffet menus for Peterborough events

Start with the meal you want guests to enjoy. Then choose how the food will be presented and served.

Four menu ideas, a clearer starting point

Have a look at the food you would enjoy, then tell us how it fits your occasion. These menus bring together named dishes from our wider menu repertoire into practical starting points for a buffet conversation.

These are suggested menu combinations to start the conversation. Your quotation confirms the final dishes, food allowance, service and price. Photographs show food and presentation inspiration, rather than the exact contents of an example menu.

Choose the format around your guests

The menu name is the beginning of the plan. A short office lunch needs a different serving approach from evening food at a wedding. Explain whether the buffet is a light meal, the main meal or part of a longer reception.

Make it your menu

You can use one example as a starting point or tell us which food styles you would like to combine. We will discuss the dishes, vegetarian choices and quantity required. Add the guest count, venue, eating time and service requirements to your brief.

Food requirements

We cater for expressly agreed food intolerances only, not food allergies. Cross-contact can occur. Discuss requirements before booking; a vegetarian or vegan dish is not automatically suitable for allergies or coeliac requirements.
