Modern British Cuisine: A New Rising Trend Among London Caterers

As one of the world’s most diverse cities, London is naturally a great place for foodies and those interested in sampling cuisines from all over the world. According to a 2014 infographic, modern British cuisine is among the fastest-rising food genres in the UK’s capital city. This cuisine type is experiencing a revival and could be the perfect choice if you are looking to impress guests and attendees to a special event in London this summer.

So what exactly makes modern British cuisine so special? One of the reasons why this cuisine is gaining popularity is because of its focus on quality over quantity. Modern British recipes rely on the use of only a few select ingredients, paying special attention to their origin and uniqueness. For example, beef, lamb, and pork feature strongly in many classic British recipes. But the top catering companies in London will go beyond that and will be able to recreate traditional British recipes with a modern twist, for example, by turning a classic lamb shank main course into individual pies that are great for finger buffets, or by transforming breakfast pork sausages into a lighter appetiser like grilled pork, cherry tomato, and mozzarella skewers.

Another great thing about modern British cuisine is that it can be easily adapted to seasonal events. For instance, a meat or fish BBQ featuring fine local ingredients is a great catering choice for summer weddings and outdoor parties. Modern British cuisine is also perfectly suited for corporate events catering. Expert London caterers can create bespoke menus based on British classics that will go a long way, creating a positive impression among existing and potential clients. For example, if you are organising a corporate event, you could consider treating your clients or visitors to an afternoon tea experience featuring the very best of British dessert recipes, such as mini versions of Victoria sponge cakes, Eton mess, banoffee tartlets, or English trifle.

Last but not least, the characteristic flavours of modern British cuisine lend themselves perfectly well to being combined with a variety of fine wines, which can put the perfect finishing touch on any event. Simply ask your caterers of choice for advice on the best pairings, or let them use their expertise and create flawless food-drink combinations at your next event.
