CHEF’S HINTS & TIPS
FOR THE PERFECT LUNCH
James Hart - Executive Chef, De Montfort University
For the perfect buffet lunch, one round of sandwiches and up to six of
our tasty ‘add ons’ from the next page will do just the job. For those of
you with a bigger appetite, allow for 2 rounds of sandwiches to fill the
gap. For those with a smaller appetite, between 1/2 and 3/4 of a round
is more than enough. Sharing boards are ideal for two people as a light
lunch. Alternatively, make a tapas style lunch more filling by choosing a
selection of other items from our buffet selection. To add the finishing
touch to your menu, don’t forget your sides. If what you had in mind
doesn’t appear in this brochure, just give us a call.
We eat with our eyes, so when planning your menu, consider the
balance of your choices. Remember to vary colours and textures for variety.
Location, location, location. Bear in mind where and when you are having your lunch
space for the buffet, and your guests have enough time to really enjoy their food.
James Hart
GROUP
toDEVELOPMENT

CHEF
is enough
Your menu will be influenced by the style of your lunch and meeting. If you are looking for a formal business lunch,
you may want to consider a fork buffet. If your style is more casual and all about networking, you will probably opt for
a finger food buffet. If you are planning a hot fork buffet, we ask you to please consider the kitchen facilities close to
the location of your lunch. To ensure we can deliver your menu to the highest possible standard, in some areas of the
building we are unable to provide a hot fork buffet. Please speak to Kerry or Rebecca before booking to confirm the
availability of this lunch option.
And last, but not least, don’t forget to add refreshments!
Happy eating.... James

PROUD TO BE LOCAL,
SUSTAINABLE & FAIRTRADE
DMU has continually strived to ensure we are making the most of the local suppliers.
We are committed to buying and using fresh, seasonal produce.
We only use Free Range eggs which means that our eggs are
laid by British Free Range hens which are free to roam the British
countryside.
All of our poultry is Freedom Food, ensuring that the chickens have
been kept to strict RSPCA welfare standards.
All of our teas and coffee are Fairtrade, supporting farmers and
workers in the developing world through better prices, decent
working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade.
We work closely with our fish and seafood suppliers, as sourcing
fish responsibly and from sustainable sources is key to us. We work
with the MSC, so you can be sure that every piece of fish we serve
is in season, fresh and from a certified fishery.
