Catering for your event or your office

Event catering

Weddings, kwanjula, parties and church or community functions

We cater weddings, kwanjula (introduction ceremonies), birthdays and parties, and church or community functions. The menu is the local Ugandan food we cook every day on Umea Road: luwombo steamed in banana leaves, pilao, pasted beef and fish in groundnut sauce, goat and chicken stews, fresh, smoked and dry fish, with chapati and kachumbari on the side and African tea and juices to drink.

Every event is a different size and a different menu, so we do not publish fixed packages. A buffet spread, like our everyday 25,000 shillings buffet but planned around your guests, is one simple option.

Corporate catering

Office lunches, staff meals, meetings and workshops

We cater for companies too: daily or weekly staff lunches, one-off meetings, workshops and seminars, and office parties. Choose a simple buffet of local dishes or a set menu agreed in advance, so your team gets a proper Ugandan lunch.

Set it up on WhatsApp with your office location, headcount and how often you need it, and we agree the menu and price with you.
