Theresa & Tony welcome you to
Valentine Cuisine
Valentine Cuisine was created by Theresa & Tony Valentine, formally two
working head chefs from Essex’s most prestigious 4 star hotel. “The
Marygreen Manor” where we held 2 AA Rosettes and 2 RAC Fine Dining
Awards for the quality of our cuisine, accolades unequalled by any other
restaurant in the county.
It is this same passion for food and commitment to excellence we now
bring to our outside catering. We have attached a few menu choices just
as a guideline and if you like what you see, we would be happy to meet
with you one to one to tailor a menu to suit your exact requirements
whether that is a dinner party for 6 or a sit down banquette for 500. A
classic pâté and chutney or foie gras terrine and brioche.
All Valentine Cuisine Brochure prices are fully inclusive of crockery,
cutlery, linen & waitress service for parties over 20 covers.

evening & we will bring along exactly the same crockery, cutlery, linen & glassware
we use for your special day
I will announce each course & because everything we do is totally bespoke fine tuning
your menu is no problem! If your dishes need to be a little smaller, bigger, less spicy
more spicy all these things are doable!
