Since starting our business in 2013, we’ve noticed a significant rise in the demand for vegetarian and vegan options. Over the past few years, however, we’ve also seen a growing need for meals catering to a wide variety of dietary preferences and requirements. We’re passionate about offering delicious food for everyone, no matter their dietary restrictions. We pride ourselves on creating options that are just as tasty.
Our Approach to Special Diets
We understand the importance of communication when it comes to special dietary requests. Before every event, we make sure to discuss any specific dietary requirements with our clients, ensuring that we can make appropriate recommendations. We find that many people who aren’t necessarily vegetarian or vegan still choose plant-based options. Whether it’s for health reasons, a desire to try something new, or simply because they want to try everything that on offer, we respect that decision wholeheartedly—and we’d probably make the same choice!
Our Vegan and Vegetarian Options
We absolutely love proving that vegetarian and vegan food can be just as indulgent and flavourful as any meat-based alternatives. Here are some of our favourite veggie and vegan options from our cold buffet menu:
- Tomato, Basil, and Parmesan Palmiers

Tailored Solutions for Dietary Requests
For dietary requirements, we’ve found that providing individual platters often works best, particularly for events that are not staffed. This allows guests with specific needs to easily identify what they can enjoy, without the hassle of searching through the buffet or worrying about cross-contamination.
We take food safety seriously, adhering to strict allergen and health & hygiene policies that help minimise the risk of cross-contamination. However, it’s important to note that our ingredients are sourced from suppliers and prepared in kitchens where allergens are present. While we take every precaution to avoid contamination, we cannot guarantee that any dish is 100% allergen-free.
Customer Testimonials: Dietary Requests Made Easy
Our customers often tell us how pleased they are with our attention to dietary needs, and we love hearing their feedback. Here are a few experiences from clients who had specific dietary requests:
- “Rachel was very good at dealing with our requests for children’s lunch boxes, nut-free food, and other difficult dietary needs.”
