Twins Kathrine and Margaret have
been extremely busy in the last few
weeks settling into their new kitchens at

turkeys, gammon and delicious
homemade sausages should ring Jackie

The full range from Munch Bunch
W
hat started out as an idea soon became reality when
Mark and Debbie took the jump and started up their
own company, ‘Catering by Munch Bunch’.
When starting their business their aim was to use as much
Island produce as possible, served by polite and helpful
staff. Their first job was to work with Paul Murphy Butchers,
Shanklin, by using him as their meat supplier.
They decided they wanted a business that was flexible as well
as offering a range of services from a professional catering van
to event marquees, and seating to spit roasts.
They have made an impression this year by supporting
two local charities Oar-some (age concern and dementia) by
providing meals for them when they kayaked around the
Island. That was followed by supporting the Hampshire and
IOW Air Ambulance fun day at the Isle of Wight Airport by
donating the use of marquees, tables and chairs.
They are looking forward to the adventure of 2015; meeting
new customers and expanding on their use of Island products.
