About MoreSouth

The Mediterranean catering company in Hertfordshire

MoreSouth looks for the best locally sourced produce which is freshly prepared and baked on site. We specialise in providing a Mediterranean style buffet within the London and Hertfordshire area for:

Corporate working lunches
Networking breakfasts
Training days
Office parties
Celebrations such as Birthdays and Weddings

All orders can be adapted to either hors d’oevres or fork buffet options

Based just 5 minutes drive from Maylands Industrial Park, north of London, between the M1 and M25 – we became aware of  the needs of corporate organisations increasingly acknowledging the value of healthy food for the working day, which is freshly prepared by a local company. We  are members of ‘The Dacorum Green Business Club.’ Corporate social responsibilty comes through supporting local charities, and volunteering with ‘Connect Dacorum’ in West Herfordshire.

MoreSouth Mediterranean Catering were the official caterers for ‘The Hertfordshire Business EXPO 2011.’

The Mediterranean Diet

The Mediterranean Diet has long been acknowledged as being one of the most healthy diets in the world. Read more about the Mediterranean diet on the MoreSouth blog,

Locally sourced food

The sun shines in Hertfordshire too!  Our  allotment provides MoreSouth with organic salads and herbs. When a plot on a biodynamically farmed piece of land came up in Kings Langley, near our business, we jumped at the chance to grow our own greens.

Please take note, we are continually adding to our list of local suppliers. If you are interested in being included, please contact us at lisa@moresouth.com.

The Story

MoreSouth began with a marriage of cultures which has brought together the colours and tastes of the Mediterranean.

Haim Attias was born in Casablanca. The eldest of eleven children he moved to Israel at the age of 8. After farming by the Red Sea mountains Haim ran a catering business and restaurant with an Italian friend on the rooftop of an art gallery in the Arab port of Jaffa.

Lisa, who had learned to cook in Switzerland, met Haim , and was soon adding to her culinary skills rolling couscous grains by hand with her new Moroccan mother-in-law.

For a decade the couple lived with their 3 children in the beauty of the Galilean Hills. With Spring came the first shoots of the za’atar herb and the scent of citrus blossoms; summers were spent living with the Bedouins in the Sinai desert; autumn brought the olive oil pressings.

The Vision

With the return to Lisa’s place of birth, the UK in 2004 came a wish to make community in the breaking of bread. With the warmth of the Mediterranean sun came the conviction that a bridge can be built between cultures. Whether kneading the morning dough, lighting the wood-fired pizza oven or preparing a mediterranean buffet feast MoreSouth celebrates the good fruits of the earth.
