Greek

At Cavendish Banqueting, we understand that food is a vital part of any celebration, and nothing brings people together quite like a shared meal. For those seeking to infuse their event with the vibrant flavours of the Mediterranean, our Greek cuisine offerings are the perfect choice. Whether you’re hosting a wedding, a corporate function, or a festive gathering, our culinary team is here to bring the essence of Greece to your table, ensuring an experience that is both authentic and unforgettable.

The Essence of Greek Cuisine

Greek food is renowned for its fresh, wholesome ingredients, simple preparation, and bold flavours. It’s a cuisine that reflects the country’s rich history, combining influences from ancient Greece, the Ottoman Empire, and neighbouring Mediterranean countries. At Cavendish Banqueting, we are proud to offer a menu that captures the true spirit of Greek dining, with dishes that celebrate the bounty of the land and sea.

A Feast of Greek Delights

Our Greek menu is designed to cater to all tastes, offering a range of dishes that are as delicious as they are diverse. Start your event with a selection of classic Greek appetisers, such as creamy tzatziki, smoky melitzanosalata, and tangy dolmades—grape leaves stuffed with rice and herbs. Paired with warm pita bread, these starters are a perfect way to whet your guests’ appetites.

For the main course, our chefs prepare a variety of traditional Greek dishes that highlight the flavours of the Mediterranean. Imagine your guests savouring the tender, juicy meat of a perfectly roasted lamb kleftiko, slow-cooked with garlic, lemon, and herbs. Or perhaps they’ll enjoy the hearty moussaka, a layered dish of eggplant, minced meat, and béchamel sauce, baked to golden perfection. Seafood lovers will delight in our grilled octopus, marinated in olive oil and lemon, or our fresh fish baked with tomatoes, onions, and herbs.

Sides and Salads to Complement

No Greek meal is complete without its vibrant sides and salads. Our Greek salad, with ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, olives, and feta cheese, dressed in extra virgin olive oil, offers a refreshing contrast to the richness of the main dishes. Other traditional accompaniments include spanakopita—spinach and feta cheese wrapped in flaky filo pastry—and lemony roasted potatoes, which are a favourite at any Greek table.

Sweet Greek Endings

To round off your Greek feast, we offer a selection of desserts that bring a touch of sweetness to your event. Baklava, with its layers of filo pastry, nuts, and honey, is a classic choice that’s sure to please. For something a little different, try our galaktoboureko—a custard-filled pastry that’s as indulgent as it is delicious. And for a refreshing finish, our yoghurt with honey and walnuts is a light and satisfying end to your meal.
