Due to popular demand Faking it has branched out into business lunches.

In this case I don't expect even the most ambitious secretary will be pretending they rustled the lunch up themselves so don't worry, you won't actually have to fake anything!

Budgets vary greatly for events like this so to try to simplify things I have given a list of the type of thing I have been supplying for lunches and meetings. I generally recommend a selection of three savoury items (one vegetarian, one fishy and one meaty) and a dessert with a selection of seasonal, but easy to eat fruit such as grapes strawberries and melon wedges.

This comes in at around £9 per head and breaks down as approximately £2 per item and another £1 per head for the fruit. If you wanted three meaty items then the cost per head may rise slightly but I'm hear to advise if it's starting to sound confusing.

The minimum order for a business lunch is 8 covers.
