Dear Fabulous Food Lovers,

SBS Award Winner
Winner of 2018 SBS Awards by BBC Dragon’s Den star Theo Paphitis

Have you ever found yourself looking for catering in Leicester but quickly become underwhelmed by what’s on offer? Boring beige dishes that leave you thinking ‘If I ever have to see another sausage roll in my lifetime, it’ll be way too soon’?

Why does event catering all have to look the same, no matter where you turn? Why does it have to be so hard to find caterers in Leicester who want to get creative with their food?

If you have a special event coming up, then the last thing that you need is a foodie flop that turns your event into a wet weekend. Of course, it’s fine to have what everyone else has, but I have a feeling that you want something with a bit of polish and pizazz…

We’re talking food that will not only satisfy your guests’ hunger, but will come with the kind of ‘wow’ factor that really packs a punch!

Food that tells a story, offers delight to all the senses and has people reminiscing about it for a long time to come. Now that’s where the real difference is truly made!

So what if you could get totally bespoke catering without the fuss?

Award Winning Catering
Multiple winners of some of the UK’s biggest industry awards

Our bespoke catering in Leicester is specially designed to suit the needs of the individual. No two catering packages are ever the same.

Imagine a beautifully constructed culinary masterpiece that’s fit for the stage, and you’re well on your way to understanding just how much artistry goes into creating our food (food which is as exciting to plan as it is to enjoy).

You’ll quickly see how our catering in Leicester is anything but ordinary, and while it’s the presentation and flavour that really steal the show, you’ll also be blown away by how stress-free we make the whole experience. You’re guaranteed thoughtful attention to detail at every step, so you don’t have to lift a finger on the day.

We care as much about making every event perfect as we would if we were catering for our own friends and family.

You just need to read the hundreds of fabulous reviews that we’ve received to see why we stand out from all the other caterers in Leicester. Nothing beats word-of-mouth recommendations for knowing you’re onto a winner!

Look, We’re Not To Everyone’s Taste

Over 105 Testimonials
Over 125 awesome testimonials from delighted catering guests

We’ve earned a superstar reputation for serving food that we know you’ll adore and delivering a service that any top-tier restaurant would be proud to shout about.

BUT I completely get that we’re not the perfect fit for everyone.

If you’re after a Leicester caterer who’ll hand you a couple of cookie-cutter menu options which are built around what’s easiest for them, or someone who’ll dish out low-quality meals at rock-bottom prices like you’re in a school canteen, then we’re probably NOT the team for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any questions about our catering services in Leicester then you may well find the answers below. If not, just get in touch to check our price and availability and ask away!

1) Are your menus created on an individual basis?

Yes. 150 million per cent. I’ve devoted my life to becoming a chef, and I’ve made it my mission to ensure that every event I cater for is nothing short of unforgettable. You don’t achieve that sort of excellence by churning out Menu A, B, or C – just Men-you.

So, if you want bold, exciting food that’s unique to you, then don’t hang about. Check if we’re free on your date before someone else snaps it up.

2) How soon should I book?

With such an outstanding reputation for catering services in Leicester, it goes without saying that our team gets booked up quick, sometimes even years in advance. In short, the best time to check our availability and book your date is ASAP (before someone else sneaks in first).

3) Do you cater to specific dietary requirements?

Yes, because your menu is completely bespoke, we absolutely do. Whether you’re looking for vegetarian or vegan catering, have specific allergies or intolerances in your group, or religion-based food requirements, everything that we do will be custom-created to suit your every desire.

4) Are you available on my date?

We really do hope so, as we’d love to help make your Leicester catering sparkle and shine! But the only way to find out is to check our pricing and availability as soon as you can to avoid missing out.
