A grazing table that holds for three hours
Mezze is the format a baby shower actually wants: it sits out from the first arrival to the last goodbye, it does not need reheating, and it gets better for being picked at rather than served.
Hummus, muhammara, falafel, Greek and Israeli salads, stuffed vine leaves and warm bread ask nothing of the host once they are down. Guests arriving late find the same table as guests who arrived first, which at a daytime weekend party is most of them.
There is no alcohol on our menus at all, so the drinks side — mint lemonade through the afternoon — is built for the event rather than adapted to it.
- Mezze, hummus, muhammara, falafel and warm bread
- Greek and Israeli salads, steamed vegetable salad
- Chicken shawarma and kofta for the guests who want something substantial
- Mint lemonade, and premium kunafa or mixed Mediterranean desserts
It feeds a mixed room without a conversation
A Mediterranean spread is mostly vegetables, pulses and bread with meat alongside rather than at the centre, which means it accommodates most of a room's requirements structurally rather than by special arrangement.
If a guest has something specific they need to know about a dish, tell us when you book and we will confirm how it is made. We would rather answer that properly in advance than have someone guess at the table.
It photographs without being arranged
Mezze looks like a lot of food for what it costs, and it looks that way in pictures without a stylist. Small dishes, colour, height, bread — the composition is inherent.
That is a real consideration at an event built around a table that will be photographed all afternoon, and it is why we suggest widening the mezze rather than adding a second hot dish when the budget allows.
