I have been asked to provide some sample menus and prices. I intend to provide a bespoke service meeting the customers needs depending on the season and the occasion, so here are a few ideas if I were planning some events to take place in the next few weeks.

• A celebratory dinner party cooked where it will be served for 6-10 people might be

Starter of pan-fried scallops and black pudding served on home made soda bread

Parcels of Salmon steaks, new potatoes, braised lettuce, seasonal vegetables as available

Summer Pudding served with clotted cream

Approx £30 per head

• Afternoon Tea @ £7 per head

Finger sandwiches with home made bread/rolls

Scones, jam and cream

Assorted cakes( made to customers choice)

I am always willing to incorporate vegetarian food and accommodate special diets. I have some good tried and tested gluten free recipes.

I think that Whitby and its environs are blessed with excellent food providers, sea food obviously but also butchers and game dealers green grocery and cheese. I will always try to use local seasonal food in my menus.

I can provide home made bread and other baked goods.

I will consider some other occasions and plan some menus accordingly and post them later.

These prices and ideas are only intended to be a guide.

Susans is based in Whitby, North Yorkshire however I am willing to consider events anywhere in the country if I am able to provide what the customer is seeking. This is a customer focused company aiming to provide bespoke menus to fit the occasion. I hope to use locally produced food as far as is possible and prepare the food where it is to be eaten.
I am also willing to act as a consultant for events, helping with quantities and arrangements.
I have experience catering for numbers up to 200 and am especially interested in providing food (and if required decor) for celebrations in peoples' homes or holiday accommodation.

May weekend

These photographs show the preparation for a meal for 100 dancers in a village hall on the hottest weekend of the year so far.

The menu included chicken with lemon and garlic, new potatoes and salad,( with an aubergine alternative for non-meat eaters) followed by Eton Mess, Lemon meringue Pie and bread and butter pudding.

During the weekend the dancers also enjoyed soup with home made bread, local cheese and fruit and on the Saturday afternoon when they returned following a days dancing tea and home made cake.

My idea for susans is that it can deliver catering, or advice about catering as and when you want it.
susans undertook an assignment last weekend and I will be posting some 'action' photographs later this weekend.
