/in Uncategorised /by Nigel DavisOur joint comms:
Peterborough’s “day : night” venue The Lightbox Café has announced details of its next pop-up; “Posh Dogs & Prosecco” will take place on Friday 20th April and is the latest joint venture with pop-up specialists and left-field outside caterers Bread Meat Cheese.
Priced at £12.95 per head, diners will enjoy a very special dog from the concise menu, a house slaw made from five different members of the onion family and a glass of Prosecco, beer or soft drink.
Co-owner of Bread Meat Cheese, Jim Davis said: “I am confident our guests will not have eaten hot dogs like these before, our dogs are imported from Germany and are 100% beef – the test is absolutely in the taste. Our menu will include a New York Reuben Dog, which is a 26cm all beef hot dog, in a brioche roll with “Swiss”, Russian dressing, dill pickle, crispy onion & American mustard. The Tokyo Doggie has the “dog” accompanied by wasabi mayo, nori seaweed, crispy onion & chilli & orange shichimi seasoning and of course we will offer a vegan alternative.”
Following the huge success of the previous Mexican event, cooking has been brought forward to kick off at 6.30 and booking is essential via The Lightbox Café on 01733 894444 or www.thelightboxcafe.co.uk

Burritos & Bubbles
/in Uncategorised /by Nigel DavisThe Lightbox Café in Bridge Street, Peterborough, is playing host to a very special Mexican pop-up on Friday 23rd March.
The highly popular, licensed “modern tea room” has invited our innovative outside catering to offer customers a true taste of Latin America. BMC has recently expanded its team, with the well- known “Macho Burrito” queen Claire Morgan joining, a lady who has spent a great deal of time living and cooking in Mexico, Ecuador and Argentina.
Promising to be something rather different to the mainstream fayre, the menu will include burritos of Barbacoa beef cheek, Pollo Loco, and a Viva Vegan which will all be served with Pica de Gallo, queso, crema, jalapeno and refried beans. The burritos will be accompanied by a side of Mexican slaw with a choice of authentic Valantina hot sauce or the muy picante Valantina Black Label.
Lightbox owner Eve Warner said: “We believe this authentic cooking presents our customers a chance to try food they haven’t come across before, and priced at £12.95 per head including a glass of Prosecco, or beer/soft drink, also represents exceptional value. The BMC team will also be preparing additional starters and side dishes, while our bar team will be mixing up Latin cocktails and a special dessert/drink called a Hot Choc Shock Shot, which is Tequila, a shot of rich hot chocolate and a dusting of chilli flakes.”
The Bread Meat Cheese team of Jim and Nigel Davis and of course Claire, will be serving from 7pm. Pre-booking is required and this can be done at The Lightbox Café at 31 Bridge Street or via www.thelighboxcafe.co.uk where further information will be posted.

Our latest testimonial
/in Uncategorised /by Nigel DavisI met with the very friendly Jim a few months prior to my 40th birthday party to discuss a menu – and described my favourite food types, chefs and recipe books. He came up with a mouthwatering middle eastern menu full of interesting twists and incredible ingredients. On my birthday evening the team produced a delicious feast – the smells and flavours were incredible and it really had the wow factor. All my guests loved the food and we’ve been eating like kings on the leftovers for a few days.
Thank you Jim, Nigel and your team for helping create such a memorable evening. I’ve already recommended you to everyone I know!
