1 Firstly, congratulations on your engagement! We love weddings, and it s always a pleasure cater for such special occasions. We have found that people s preferences are so varied that we wouldn t want to restrict your options by offering a set menu. Therefore we prefer tailor your wedding menu to you individually. In our first meeting or phone chat we will discuss what style of food and service you would like and we will follow this up with a proposed menu. Every wedding is different in terms of number of guests, staff needed, facilities and equipment available at your chosen venue, length of the event and your menu. As a rough guide on pricing, we charge between 30 and 60 a head for food. We do not charge corkage on wine. Below we have chosen 5 recent weddings with very different styles of menu and service, which you might find spark some ideas of what you would most enjoy.

2 1. Stephen and Alice s Salad Buffet Wedding Alice and Stephen had 150 guests for dinner and wanted an informal, self-serving buffet style. Their guests made and brought desserts and homemade cakes for their dessert, judged by the bride and groom in a Great British Wedding Bake-off contest! Prosecco and Virgin mojitos on arrival Lightly spiced pulled pork Salad Selection including: Homemade coleslaw Roast sweet potato with feta cheese, toasted pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds with cress and micro-herbs Smoked salmon with new potatoes, green beans, capers and dill with a horseradish crème fresh Lightly cooked beetroot with avocado, soybeans and sugar snap Peas served with a mint coriander and chili dressing Baby-leaf salad with pomegranate, cucumber and citrus dressing Bread basket and butter The food suited us perfectly, and was delicious. Your staff were polite, courteous, efficient and effective. Lots of people have commented on how tasty and delicious the food was- some people had never had anything like it and found it really refreshing. I think it was pleasingly unexpected food for a wedding.

Pimms and Lemonade for guests on arrival Roast Beef, roasted potatoes, homemade Yorkshire puddings, and seasonal vegetables Followed by Eton Mess and Sticky Toffee Pudding. They said... Natasha was brilliant from start to finish. Nothing was too much bother, and she met all our needs within budget. All communication with her before the wedding was friendly and stress-free, and the food on the day (roast beef with all the trimmings) was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. I highly recommend her and her staff. 5 stars!"
