Below you will find three different seasonal menus. Once you have decided which menu you will choose for your dinner party (eg Buttermere Menu) guests can select their individual choices of dishes from the same menu. I will require details of your pre order 2 weeks in advance of your dinner party. Please note the dinner party menus are designed to work for events held at holiday homes and private residents for approximately 24 guests. If your numbers are greater than this, I would find out about the facilities of the venue before I can commit to offering these menus.

​

If you have opted for the Buttermere or Derwent menu you get both canapes per guest.  

My freshly baked bread comes with everyone's starter throughout all my menus.

I look forward to creating a memorable meal for you and your guests.
