A menu is not a list of dishes — it is a sequence of decisions about pace, contrast, and memory. We begin every menu conversation by asking what kind of experience you want your guests to have. Celebratory and indulgent? Light and productive? Familiar and comforting? From that starting point, we draft a course structure and a set of ingredient anchors drawn from what is in season. We then present a written proposal with two or three directional options for each course so you can steer the final result. Revisions are part of the process, not an extra charge. We finalize the menu no later than three weeks before the event date to give our team adequate preparation time.
We adapt our service style to the format your event calls for — whether that is a seated dinner or a roaming cocktail reception.
A structured, multi-course experience suited to wedding receptions and formal corporate dinners. Typically three to five courses, with synchronized service timed to the programme of the evening. Our servers are briefed on each dish so they can answer guest questions naturally.
An interactive format ideal for large receptions, product launches, and company socials. Guests move between stations — a carving station, a salad bar, a composed dessert counter — allowing for longer mingling time and a relaxed atmosphere without sacrificing food quality.
Passed trays of one- or two-bite items, supported by a central grazing table featuring artisan cheeses, charcuterie, and seasonal accompaniments. Well-suited to welcome receptions, pre-dinner gatherings, and shorter evening events of two to three hours.
Large platters placed at each table so guests serve one another — a format that encourages conversation and a generous, communal feeling. Popular for rehearsal dinners, milestone celebrations, and relaxed corporate offsites.
We accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, halal, and kosher-style requirements across all menu formats. Accommodations are incorporated into the main menu architecture wherever possible — guests with dietary needs receive a full and considered plate, not an afterthought substitute. We ask that confirmed dietary requirements be submitted no later than ten days before the event date. We are not a certified allergen-free facility, and for guests with severe anaphylactic allergies we recommend discussing the details directly with our team before booking.
“We asked Vividgforge to cater our company's annual holiday luncheon for 120 people, including eleven guests with different dietary requirements. Every single person at that table had something genuinely excellent to eat. The mushroom Wellington for the vegan guests was not a concession — it was a highlight of the menu.”
