How It Works
Choose the right menu for your occasion, whether it be finger food, a hot or cold fork buffet or bowl food to entertain your guests.
All our menus are freshly prepared.
Cold menus are delivered to you in foil containers, ready to display/or decant onto your platters (unless otherwise arranged).
Menus containing hot options require our chef on-site. He will cook these hot elements freshly for you however do note that this requires cooking facilities at your venue. With this on-site service we can bring our own white china platters to display the food, or we can use your china dishes if you prefer.
Pencoose Pantry can also provide a complete service with staff who will help set up, serve welcome drinks (if applicable), look after your guests throughout the meal and clear up before departing.
For parties under 30 guests we can supply crockery, cutlery and glassware – this will be at an additional cost.
For parties over 30 guests we can put you in contact with a hire company, or help arrange this for you.
Visit our Celebrations event page for more information.
If any of your party have any food allergies or intolerances please let us know so we can adapt our dishes to accommodate them
