From starters to sweet dishes, our full catering menu gives your guests fresh, flavourful food they will remember. OH MY DHOL serves events across the UK with classic British favourites and popular global picks. We use seasonal produce, trusted UK suppliers, and recipes your guests know and love. You can build a menu that fits your event size, theme, and budget. We also support your full event plan with DHOL, Car Hire, Horse dancing, Photography and videography, and event decor, so everything feels connected and stress-free.
Why Choosing the Right Catering Menu Matters for Your Event
Food sets the tone for the day. A menu that suits the crowd keeps energy high and ensures a smooth flow from welcome drinks to the last course. Weddings need comfort and a touch of celebration. Corporate events need smart service and easy-to-eat plates. Private parties need fun, bold flavours and flexible portions. A complete menu helps you cover every moment, from arrival canapés to dessert. Your event feels organised, your guests feel looked after, and you get peace of mind.
Starters That Steal the Show: A Look at Our Appetisers
Top Starter Options in Our Full Catering Menu
Open with crowd-pleasers that spark appetite and conversation. We offer cold and hot starters, including meat, fish, and plant-based choices. Popular picks include mini Yorkshire puddings with rare beef and horseradish cream, smoked salmon blinis, chicken skewers with mint yoghurt, and crisp vegetable samosas with tamarind dip. For a light bite, consider caprese skewers, hummus with crudités, or beetroot and goat’s cheese crostini.
Vegetarian and vegan guests will find strong options, such as panko aubergine bites, falafel with tahini dip, and roasted pepper bruschetta. We label gluten-free items like lemon-garlic prawns and corn tortilla canapés. Our canapés travel well for tray service or self-serve stations. If you want a lively start, we can pair your canapés with a DHOL welcome set to lift the mood as guests arrive.
The Main Event: Delicious Mains in Our Full Catering Menu
Main Course Catering, UK Catering Mains
Your main course brings the room together. We offer plated, family-style, and buffet formats. Plated meals give a formal feel and consistent portioning. Family-style creates a warm, shared table. Buffets give choice and speed for large groups.
Classic picks include roast beef with gravy and seasonal veg, roast chicken with herb stuffing, or roast lamb with mint sauce. If you want bold flavours, try chicken tikka masala with pilau rice, butter paneer, or slow-cooked lamb shoulder with cumin and coriander. We also serve salmon with lemon butter, sea bass with dill, and mushroom and spinach wellington for a rich vegetarian main. Each dish comes with simple, honest sides that let the hero flavours stand out.
Sides & Salads to Complete Your Plate
Keep plates balanced and bright. Choose from rosemary potatoes, creamy mash, pilau rice, herby couscous, and buttered greens. Add slaws and salads like crunchy apple-cabbage slaw, Greek salad, or rocket with shaved parmesan. We mark gluten-free, nut-free, and vegan items, so guests pick with confidence. We use seasonal produce wherever possible for great taste and value.

We also prepare vegan brownies, fruit crumbles with dairy-free custard, and gluten-free almond cakes. Mini dessert platters work well for large groups and allow guests to try more than one treat.
