Scandinavian Kitchen

Happy Norway

Every year on 17th May, Norwegians across the globe celebrate in unison: it's the Norwegian National Day, or Consitition Day as it is also known.  On this day, in 1814, the Norwegians voted to be independent from Sweden.  Apparently, only very few people (less than a hundred) votes against the declaration of independence (and they were probably Swedes anyway).

Traditions are rich on this day - there are parades across the country, people dress up in the National Costumes (did you know that one costume weighs over 20 kilos?  Good job it's a cold country).  Lots of sing songs take place and people eat traditional foods such as lefse, lutefisk and Grandiosa.

We'll be celebrating 17th May this year - except we're doing it on 16th May at the shop.  Pop by and feel a bit Norwegian and sample some nice Norwegian food.  

Shiny, happy people celebrating in Norway

The National Costume from Drammen.  We're imagining that this is how our Elisabeth will look on Sunday, probably with a beer or two in her hand.  We miss ya, Elisabeth!  Hope Norway is funner than London!

Scandinavian Kitchen catering

Did you know we also do catering?  Indeed, we serve lots of fantastic companies across the capital with Scandinavian food - from traditional open sandwiches to lighter snack lunches to canapes and breakfast meetings. 

It is not only Scandinavian companies that use our services - we've catered for hundreds of different companies, from the BBC to film production companies and banks such as Goldman Sachs - and big events like "the International Wine Challenge".  We count all the Scandinavian Embassies and Chambers of Commerce amongst our customers - as well as big companies such as Bang & Olufson, Kvadrat, Handelsbanken and many, many others.  On top of that we have lots of regular private customers who use our services catering for big family events and parties.

In a recent survey to our customers, 100% said they would use us again.  (Parp, parp, that was our trumpet blowing.)

If you fancy chatting to us about our catering, give us a ring or send a mail to iwantfood@scandikitchen.co.uk and we'll get back to you promptly. 

Party catering can be bespoke - as is breakfast meetings and buffets.  Here's a taster of our lovely open sandwiches and canapes (again, we can amend to suit your particular event):
