When the evenings get darker and there’s a chill in the air, you know it’s time to warm up with heartier, more comforting food.

Seasonal ingredients at this time of the year give our chefs great opportunities to design and create great new menus, taking full advantage of the new harvest of seasonal ingredients, bursting with intense flavour. Examples include braised dishes, roasted meats and beautiful root vegetables, from parsnips and artichokes to winter squash.

As always, our winter menus are designed to allow these delicious wintry ingredients to shine through, whilst giving priority to local, fair trade and sustainable suppliers.

Below is a selection of dishes from our new autumn/winter menus. Our team of Party Creators would be delighted to answer any questions on the new menus should you have them.
