THE MERRY KITCHEN
Welcome
The Merry Kitchen is all about feasting and celebrating with fabulous food. We love to see family and friends coming together around our food to relax and create lasting memories. Picture platters of slow cooked meats, bowls of fresh crisp salads popping with colour, trays of canapes bursting with flavour, or spicy vibrant trays of tapas. Whether you are celebrating a wedding, birthday or just hosting supper, gather your friends or colleagues, sit back and enjoy the food and the moment, and let us take the strain
Only the Best
Fresh Ingredient, Tasty Meals
Our suppliers are hugely important to us at The Merry Kitchen. It is really important for us to aim to work with local and small businesses whenever possible. We aim to be sustainable wherever possible and are always looking for new ways to fulfil these targets.
Canape Feasts
The perfect start to every event; chatting with friends over a glass of fizz and our staff circulating with platters full of fabulous and colourful canapes. Every canape is a flavour explosion and a mouthful of deliciousness.
Celebration Feasts
Designed to feast, share and celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and everything in-between with friends and family. Huge rustic wooden boards full of slow cooked meats and relishes, served with bowls of hearty veges or fresh salads, all finished off with a generous sprinkle of garden herbs and flowers. Our double stacked berry meringue torte is the perfect celebration feast finale.
Wedding Feasts
Our wedding feasts are designed to celebrate your day and reflect your favourite flavours. Jo personally creates your menu and style of service; whether that be tapas sharing platters for guests to graze on, fabulous feasting boards of slow cooked meats with bowls of salads full of colour and flavour, a hearty Summer tasty barbeque, or a beautiful dessert grazing table. With The Merry Kitchen Wedding feast your guests come together to celebrate and to share the food and the joy.
