Autumn Flavours We love bringing a bit of creativity to our menus at Norse Catering, and this time of year gives us plenty of opportunities! Themed menus let our kitchen teams showcase their skills, delight our customers, and show our commitment to going the extra mile.
Nacho average school lunch! For our High School students, we recently ran a ‘Taste of Mexico’ menu, featuring nachos, fajitas, and chilli. It was a fun way for students to try new dishes and flavours — and learn some interesting facts about Mexican cuisine. Did you know it’s on the UNESCO World Heritage list?
In our Care Homes, the new seasonal menu has started. It features wholesome, home-cooked dishes with a seasonal twist, such as creamy chicken and bacon pasta bake, chickpea and coconut curry, and chicken casserole with herby dumplings. Desserts include lemon posset with ginger biscuits and apple and berry cobbler with custard. Involving residents in menu creation helps ensure they enjoy the food they love — and adds a personal touch to every meal.
Our new Autumn/Winter Primary Menu, also launches in early November and includes tasty new dishes like Tex Mex chilli loaded wedges and Chinese-style chicken with noodles. We’ll still be serving favourites like roast dinner day and our homemade Margherita pizza, and we’ve added fruit crunch desserts made with 50% fruit and served with Greek yogurt — a delicious and nutritious treat
As proud partners of Run Norwich 2025, Norse Group were delighted to support this fantastic event. Organised by the Community Sports Foundation, Norwich City FC’s official charity partner, the 10k road race has raised funds for local programmes since 2015. Our team provided banana flapjacks and berry muffins for runners at the finish line — a well-earned treat after their efforts! It was wonderful to meet so many runners, families, and friends, and feel the community spirit at the event.
Growing, Cooking and Learning Together! We love supporting schools with their food initiatives. At Neatishead Primary School, students harvested courgettes, tomatoes, and salad leaves from their school allotment. During a special day organised by their Eco Committee, children prepared a homemade tomato sauce to go with pasta and made a chocolate courgette cake, which was enjoyed by everyone at lunchtime. It’s fantastic to see children take pride in growing, preparing, and tasting their own food — a truly inspiring experience for all.
Festive Plans Finally, we’re busy with Festive planning across our kitchens and can’t wait to share all the exciting developments in our next blog. We’ll also be announcing the winner of our Christmas Card competition in collaboration with Thomas Ridley Foods — watch this space!
Until next time,
Norse Group’s Catering Team
