UNITED KINGDOM / AGILITYPR.NEWS / January 06, 2026 / Ilford venue Crown Banqueting Suite has introduced fully customised menu planning through its newly launched in-house brand, Prestige Catering, giving clients greater freedom than ever to shape their event dining experience around their guests’ needs.

Rather than choosing from fixed or pre-set menus, clients can now work closely with the catering team to design bespoke packages that reflect cultural traditions, personal preferences, and dietary requirements. Options include vegetarian, vegan, halal, and allergy-friendly menus - all prepared to the highest standards of care and attention.

The change will allow the venue to keep planning events tailored to everyone's needs and tastes in diverse communities such as Ilford, where guest lists often span multiple cultures, generations, and dietary considerations. Prestige Catering’s customised approach ensures that hosts no longer need to choose between authenticity and inclusivity.

Menus can be tailored for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, corporate functions, and community events, with the flexibility to combine cuisines, adjust spice levels, or accommodate specific health and religious needs. This approach allows food to become a central part of the celebration, rather than a logistical challenge.

Fareed Nabir, Director of Crown Banqueting Suite, said, “Food plays a huge role in how people remember an event, and few things forge community bonds like sharing a meal. We wanted to move away from a one-size-fits-all approach and give our clients the opportunity to create menus that truly represent them and their guests. Whether someone needs a fully halal menu, plant-based dishes, or careful allergy planning, our team takes the time to get it right.”

The customised menu service is underpinned by recent investment in expanded kitchen facilities, enabling Prestige Catering to prepare multiple menu types at the same time while maintaining strict food safety and quality controls. 

By combining venue hire with bespoke catering under one roof, Crown Banqueting Suite continues to simplify event planning while responding to the real-world needs of its clients and the communities it proudly serves.
