Hot Box Catering…

Last night I delivered a hot buffet along with homemade puds for a special birthday party in Cleadon. This type of catering is ideal for feeding a large gathering with delicious hot food. Last night I cooked for 40.

I cook everything at my premises near the tunnel, pop it into hot boxes, deliver it and set it up in chafing dishes for you and your guests. I supply proper crockery and cutlery that you don’t even need to wash - I collect it later and do it for you.

Last night I also supplied two young people to help serve the food, drinks and generally tidy up for the clients.

It was wonderful to be asked by this client to cater for her birthday. She reminded me last night that this was the fourth time I've looked after events for the family. An 18th, two funerals and her own special birthday! It's truly lovely to have loyal customers like this. After 27 years of catering in the NE, I have a quite a few clients who call me for whatever the occasion.

"I'm not sure what type of food to lay on" is what I hear frequently when speaking to clients about funeral or remembrance service catering. How many guests will come? How long with they stay? What will they eat and drink? Lots of considerations for a difficult time.

I've found over the years that what I call a Funeral Tea works well. It's basically an afternoon tea in another guise. Small bites of beautiful sweet and savoury items seem conducive to such an occasion along with tea and coffee served by Team Epicurus!

This is the menu I made and provided for 125 guests yesterday for a service in Jesmond;

Ribbon Sandwiches:

Classic Meat & Vegetarian Ribbon Sandwiches
(Chicken & Bearnaise, Beef & Horseradish, Ham & Mustard, Smoked Salmon, Prawn Marie Rose)
Cheese & Pickle, Cucumber & Cream Cheese, Brie & Grape, Cheese Savoury, Egg & Sun Blushed Tomato) V

Savouries:

Northumberland Cheese Scones, Bergamot Cream Cheese (v)
Elsdon Goats Cheese & Red Onion Tarts (v)
Mini Yorkshire Puddings, Beef & Horseradish
Best of British Mini Pies

Homemade Patisserie:

Bakewell Tart Slices
Dark Chocolate Ganache Fingers
Rich Fruit Scones, Jam, Clotted Cream
Epicurus Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
Chocolate Brownie Pieces

Teas & Coffee:

Selection of Traditional Teas, Herbal Teas & Cafetière Coffee
Organic Milk & Oat Milk

I had many compliments yesterday not only about the food, but also the staff who served, cleared up and did all the dishes with me before leaving.

If you would like us to look after a similar service, please get in touch.
