Restaurant-quality food at your own table, with none of the work. Whether it’s a dinner party for friends, a birthday, an anniversary or Christmas Day with the family, we cook, serve and clear away, so you can relax and enjoy your guests.

How it works

  1. Choose your menu: pick from our seasonal 2-course, 3-course or tasting menus.

  2. We arrive and cook: we bring the ingredients and prepare everything fresh in your kitchen.

  3. We serve: each course is plated and brought to the table.

  4. We clear up: we leave your kitchen spotless before we go.

Kind words

I would 100% recommend The Fig Pantry to anyone! The team catered for an 18 person Hen Do (with various dietary requirements and allergies!) and it was fantastic - communication from the start was seamless, service was fab and the food was absolutely delicious.
Thank you to Gareth and The Fig Pantry!
