For a long time I’ve wanted to provide an alternative to the traditional takeaway offerings so with that in mind I’ve put together a weekday delivery service that offers fresh, healthy, summery dishes. The dishes may change as I’m inspired by different recipes. Keeping the menu small means I can keep prices competitive. I hope you like it!

Cooked to the Door

By | Canapés, Cooked to the Door, Coronavirus, Dining, Food for thought, News, Outside Catering | No Comments
