MENUS FOR EAST WINTERGARDEN by 1 st JANUARY 2016
While you re with us, you and your event are the centre of our world. Delicious food, presented with exquisite flair, is both our passion and our promise to you. Enticing dishes engage all our senses at once and can be such a potent experience and talking point, that food is always going to be our forte. That level of commitment doesn t come from you issuing a brief and us ticking the boxes. It comes from getting to know each other a little so we can truly understand what you want and why. We want you to feel that we get you, so that when you call, we re ready to create an event together that we know will intrigue and delight you. We believe in meticulous planning and regular meetings. Every detail of your event will have been thought through so you can have the confidence to relax and enjoy yourself on the day, knowing we re there and we ve got your back. Food sets the tone of the occasion, priming your guests for fun at a frivolous party, networking at a business event, or dignified conversation at a distinguished silverservice dinner. Our chefs relish the variety and challenge of creating dishes that excite or seduce, soothe or gratify, make people smile or sigh with pleasure. BEAUTIFUL EAT!
