Hassle-free meals:

Planning meals for a group can be daunting. If you find yourselves short on time for food shopping, worry not! We can provide a continental breakfast for your group. Need food for lunch and dinner too? That’s fine! Many of our groups, including both school and sports teams, opt for a hassle-free food delivery service from the local supermarket. Our attentive staff can pack the fridges with your refrigerated items, so when you arrive, the kitchen is already stocked up with nutritious food– everything your group needs to refuel after a day of learning and play.
