Menu Items to Suit All Tastes from Central Foods
As operators navigate running their businesses post lockdown, reduced menus will be key to managing staffing levels, hygiene requirements and costs in the ‘new normal’. On the back of this, to ensure satisfied customers and repeat visits, be sure your menu only delivers good quality dishes otherwise customers might look to take their business elsewhere.
For a reduced menu with maximum appeal, that focuses on quality over quantity, choose dishes that will suit a range of dietary requirements.
An increasing number of diners prefer vegan, vegetarian or gluten-free options, and when they eat out, they look forward to — and now expect — a choice of items on the menu.
To avoid menu proliferation, include items that not only suit customers with various dietary requirements but taste so good they will be enjoyed by other diners too. Frozen food distributor Central Foods has a wide range of premium pre-prepared free-from products to suit the entire menu… from starter through to dessert.
Its vegan-friendly, gluten-free KaterVeg! Moroccan-style cauliflower bites are ideal for bar snacks, starters and tapas, while the recently launched KaterVeg! vegan mince, which is also gluten-free, can be used as a meat-free option in a wide range of customer favourites from spaghetti bolognaise, tacos and chilli to lasagne and shepherd’s pie.

Or how about the Menuserve brie and red onion tart, which is suitable for gluten-free and vegetarian diners, or the Menuserve beetroot and thyme tarte tatin, which is perfect for vegan and vegetarian customers? Served hot, straight from the oven, both make delicious light lunches or indulgent main courses and are ideal for the growing demand for plant-based menu options, as more diners either reduce or cut meat from their diets.
To round things off with a sweet treat, Central Foods has a number of vegan-friendly and gluten-free desserts, including the show-stopping, creamy-crunchy Menuserve pumpkin cheesecake, which is a superb addition to any Autumn, Halloween or Christmas menu.
“The beauty of the free-from items offered by Central Foods is that they will be enjoyed by all diners, not just those with dietary requirements, which really does help those venues looking to truncate menus,” said Gordon Lauder, Managing Director of Central Foods, one of the UK’s leading frozen food distributors to the food service sector.
The Northamptonshire-based distributor supplies hundreds of lines across the whole food service industry, including hotels, restaurants, bars and clubs.
