Happy New Year! Thank-you to all of our clients for making 2010 a busy year for us and we are looking forward to catering for new and former clients in 2011.

In November and December, we delivered many xmas dinners for smaller family groups ...turkey, stuffing and all the trimmings. In January, we delivered dinner items for a Robbie Burns Party (including good ol' English trifle) and supplied the local blood donor clinic with our homemade cookies and muffins (c/o Lafarge).

We are looking forward to the upcoming wedding season, to catering for our tour groups in the Spring and Summer months and to warmer weather! Please read below for our current specials and recipe feature!
