Sample menus

Three menus, to start from.

These are what we would suggest today. Beca rewrites them with you on the phone, for the season, for your table and for whoever will not eat fennel.

Allergy codes: G gluten, M milk, E egg, F fish, N nuts, C celery, Mu mustard, Sd sulphites, So soya. These are sample menus. Everything is cooked in your own kitchen, which we cannot promise is free of any allergen. We ask about all 14 major allergens before we write your menu, and read it back to you in writing.

About the menus

Is the plant-based menu fully vegan?

Yes, as written. Your kitchen may not be, so tell us if it matters beyond the ingredients.

Can you mix them?

Often. An Italian starter with a Welsh main is no trouble. Beca will talk you out of anything which will not work.

Do you do children's portions?

Yes, smaller portions of the same dish at half the head price, or something else if you prefer.

You have the table. We will bring the dinner.

Your guests, your courses and a style: the menu, the cost and when we arrive. Then Beca rings to write the real one with you.
