Catering

Quality caterers can rely on Bells to procure premium products all year round. Whether you alter your menus with the seasons, experiment with unusual food or provide established, best selling dishes, we at Bells can supply your needs.

Whether you have a fixed cover operation or are involved in banqueting, with ever changing numbers, we can supply to order. We can deliver using just-in-time systems or with a regular scheduled drop, depending on your requirements.

Freshness is paramount: within 6 hours of taking delivery from the fleet of trucks arriving overnight from Scottish ports, we clean, fillet, pack and dispatch to you. Our locally sourced game can be hung, cut and prepared to your specification. Complementing the range of native game are exotic meats; buffalo, ostrich, wild boar, even foie gras and frogs legs. Our smokehouse adds to the range of merchandise: salmon, river trout, shellfish, venison, chicken and duck are cured onsite in Carlisle.

Should you want either fresh or frozen fish and game, we are resourced to fulfil your orders. We carry stocks of fish and game frozen at the peak of freshness so you can extend your seasonal menus. For Christmas and New Year you can pre-order free range, oven-ready geese and duckling. Whether you want ovenready, or even portion-controlled foods or you prefer to buy unfilleted fish and in-feather game, we can deliver to order.

Dressed salmon can make a stunning centrepiece for a buffet at any time of year. Whole, fresh, farmed salmon is gently poached with parsley and lemon and lightly seasoned. (Your own wild caught salmon may be dressed if desired.) With the skin removed, the flesh is decorated with thinly sliced cucumber dipped in aspic. The salmon is presented on a disposable tray surrounded by crayfish and prawns.

Bells insist that all their staff are trained in safe food handling so that your orders arrive in peak condition. As a customer of Bells you are assured of our established commitment to quality and the highest possible standards.
