We pride ourselves on making sure our food is accessible to all, with allergens and dietary requirements taken care of, and are adaptable to any specific cultural favourites (if any), to suit any budget and locations. Catering from high-dining sit-down meals at s weddings, parties and corporate events, to fêtes and festivals with our mobile catering van and stalls – we cover it all! Our customers often comment on their favourite dish being the highly traditional vegetable samosa with chana masala, teamed with our jeera rice and rainbow salad – it’s a dish always bursting with flavour, colour and tradition. Sweet treats and snacks are also a favourite at our street food events. Karara Foods’ range of chutneys and sauces can be added to any dish to tailor it to personal taste, ranging from the sweet mango chutney all the way to hot dynamite sauce for those more adventurous! One of people’s favourite drinks from our range is our mango lassi, a traditional drink and especially refreshing. We have also created home-cooked chutneys and sauces to enable people to have a piece of authentic tastes at home. All still with local ingredients from our lovely county of Kent. We love to support charities and have worked closely with the community to do this; we’ve also hosted events and brought people together to not only eat but celebrate occasions. Last year our biggest event created by us was Vaisakhi. www.kararafoods.co.uk www.facebook.com/kararafoods BEARS ICE CREAM IMAGINARIUM Meet Vera… Bears Ice Cream Imaginarium is a multi-award-winning creative ice creamery with locations in the heart of Whitstable and London.
