MEET THE SUPPLIER Natalie and Henry Jacob, SOKA Catering & Events Ltd, www.sokafood.co.uk SPRING FEVER “After the New Year, people start getting ready for summer bodies, and diets tend to be in full swing in the spring. Don’t worry about this; focus on choosing a menu that’s right for you both and let your caterer deal with any dietary requirements or concerns. The company should take the stress away from you and tailor the main menu to suit any needs. Trust the team as they’ve done this a thousand times and have a stress-free way of managing things. SUMMER LOVIN’ “Everyone loves to see how we cook food; why not add some theatre and get mouths watering with a food display such as a whole lamb being cooked over an open fire for 12 hours? It also provides interactive entertainment as guests hang out around the firepit and chatting with the chefs. AUTUMNAL VIBES “Most guests will have a drink in hand when it gets to the evening, so think about foods that are easy to eat without cutlery or plates – you don’t want guests leaving the dancefloor to eat. Just like the drinks reception, let us bring the food to you with waiting staff. Comfort food is always a winner during the autumn months; think bacon rolls, Cornish pasties or summer street food such as burgers or flatbreads. WINTER WONDERLAND “A great way to get guests chatting around the table is by breaking bread together. Without providing ice breakers and formal introductions, food is a great way to get your guests talking to each other. Sharing bowls of salads and an array of bread is an excellent way for new friendships to blossom.” SEASONAL DISH IDEAS TOP SEASONAL DISH Allotment salad with broad beans, pecorino and cold-pressed rapeseed oil.
