Quirky menu ideas

Q – What quirky menu options do you suggest?

"We get asked this question a lot! For a more casual style, how about picnic baskets on each table, filled with all your favourite savoury and sweet treats? Alternatively, you could ask your caterer to put sharing boards of meats, cheeses, savoury nibbles and salads down long tables so your guests can help themselves to the feast in front of them.

"If you’re looking for casual, but hot food, how about designing a bespoke gourmet burger with your caterer? We’ve had several weddings ask to do this, and it’s a lot of fun at tasting sessions providing different burgers and assorted fillings.

"For something formal but a little different, why not consider something venison or duck rather than the conventional chicken, lamb or beef? If that isn’t to your taste, use heritage style vegetables like purple carrots, candy-striped beetroot or tomato varieties to add a talking point to your dish."
