From the outside, it might look easy. But I built this life myself: business, travel, motherhood - step by step, and it wasn’t always smooth.

What do you think - where does ease really come from? Is it a mindset? Or does it mean things actually get easy?

👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments, I’d love to hear.

Is catering really that expensive? 🤔

In the video, I show the ingredients for three types of canapés. (Veggies, packaging, and other small things didn’t fit into the reel 😄)

Now add everything the video doesn’t show:

- at least 3 hours of prep
- a professional waiter managing timing and presentation
- delivery, setup, styling, and cleanup
- and up to 4 hours on-site, where everything needs to go flawlessly

So if just the ingredients cost £75 - how much should a service cost that includes taste, atmosphere, coordination, and the peace of mind that it’ll all be perfect? 🍽️

When they say "it's urgent," I'm already halfway to the shops 😉
Whipped up chic canapés for 35 guests in just 4.5 hours - and somehow managed to keep my nerves intact. Panic isn't really my style!

If your party's tomorrow and tasty catering still feels like a distant dream, just DM me and consider it sorted 😌

Please, don’t try this… unless you’re ready to dream about them every night. 😏

The first time I tried aubergine rolls in Georgia, I was hooked. Every restaurant had its own take, and I wanted to create my own - bringing together the best of them. The result? Two versions: one hot and oozing with cheese 🧀, the other cool and delicate, with a velvety chicken mousse and a hint of nuts. 🌰

Since then, no menu has been complete without them. Clients always say the same thing: “We’re happy to try something new, but the rolls - those have to stay.”

And honestly, who could argue with that? 😉 Try them once, and you’ll understand.

🔥 Save this recipe - because this burger is pure perfection! 🔥

At The Original Menu, together with pastry chef Katya, we spent months perfecting it - crispy on the outside, soft and airy on the inside, with the perfect texture to hold all the flavors together.

And while you can absolutely try making it yourself, if you want the full experience without the effort - just leave it to us. 😏

We do this, so you can do that

My favorite part of any event - is when you finally grab a drink, share a laugh with your colleagues/friends/family, and think, “Wow, everything’s just perfect.” And it is - because we’ve already taken care of it all.

✨ Worried the servers might miss your vegan guest? They won’t.

We handle the stress, the details, and all the little things so you can actually enjoy the moment. London traffic? Special menu requests? Perfect presentation? ✔️ It’s all on us. Your job? Show up, relax, and soak in the good vibes.

"Mmm, so yummy!" - because, honestly, food this good speaks for itself.
"What pairs with wine?" - as if there’s a wrong answer. 😉
"Got any canapés left?" – because they’re always the star of the table

This year, we’ll keep sharing behind-the-scenes moments, inspiring ideas, and everything you need to make your celebrations truly special.

Corporate events are so much more than just “a dinner for employees.” They’re about reputation, creating lasting impressions, and building trust.

I know the worries that come up when planning something like this:
— “What if catering can’t handle the number of guests?”
— “What if the servers seem lost or too slow?”
— “What if we run out of food before everyone’s eaten?”
— “What if it doesn’t look anything like the photos we agreed on?”

✨ These aren’t minor concerns - they’re deal-breakers.

And here’s the thing: we’re not just a catering team. The Original Menu is a team that obsesses over the details:
— Guest count? Checked and double-checked.
— Serving time? Down to the minute.
— Presentation? Exactly like the photos - or better.

Your job is to host an unforgettable event. My job is to make sure you don’t have to stress about a single thing.

📲 Oh, and heads up - I’m already taking bookings for the 2025 season! Dates are filling up fast, so drop me a message, and let’s make your event seamless, stress-free, and seriously impressive.

🎄 The holiday rush feels a lot like trying to wrap a hundred gifts with one roll of tape.

Big event, small gathering, birthday, or office party - everyone wants things to go just right.

But I know how it goes - cooking takes hours, leaves you exhausted, deliveries run late, and suddenly someone mentions they’re gluten-free… and you’re left staring at the clock instead of enjoying the moment.

✨ It doesn’t have to be that way.
With The Original Menu, every dish will arrive on time, look amazing, and taste even better. Your guests will leave happy and full

📲 DM me and let’s make your celebration easy, delicious, and totally stress-free!
