Luxury Comfort

Mini wagyu beef slider with aged Cheddar and truffle mayo The Vlamber signature Luxury Comfort piece. A perfectly sized wagyu beef patty — seasoned simply and cooked correctly — on a soft brioche bun with a slice of properly aged Cheddar and a black truffle-infused mayo. One bite. Perfect. This is the one that stops conversations at London catering events.

Classic beef slider with American Cheddar, burger sauce and pickles The classic, made properly — dry-aged British beef, proper burger sauce, a gherkin and a soft potato bun. No pretension, just a great burger in miniature.

Crayfish and avocado roll A lighter, more accessible alternative to the lobster roll — British crayfish tails with avocado cream, lemon and dill in a soft brioche roll.

Mac and cheese at a catering event needs to be made properly — not from a bag, not reheated, not bland. At Vlamber, the mac and cheese is a serious preparation.

Classic mac and cheese Cavatappi or rigatoni in a béchamel base with aged Cheddar, Gruyère and Parmesan, finished in the oven with a breadcrumb crust. Made correctly.
