An Essex Wedding - Mar/Apr 2017 (Issue 79)

GREEK From spanakopita to stifado and moussaka to baklava, get inspiration from Mediterranean fair and a culture that’s defined by friends and family – not to mention the food is delicious. HONEY THYME Honey & Thyme is a well-loved, established company that prides itself on producing fresh, vibrant dishes to local counties. Working with a team of highly skilled and passionate chefs it creates elegant and delicious dishes every day with the freshest of produce. They provide a personal and bespoke service and love to work closely with couples to design the perfect menu for such a special day. The team’s favorite menu is family-style – a fun and relaxed way of serving a banquet as platters of food laid along the center of each table for guests to serve themselves. The company’s produce is locally sourced and organic where possible. The meat comes from grass-fed and outdoor reared animals, and it buys fair trade products whenever possible as well as using sustainable fish. The team prides itself on the quality, beauty and freshness of the food it serves.
