Your Devon and Cornwall Wedding - July/August 2025 (Issue 56)

All the latest from around both regions DEVON-BASED CLAIRE’S KITCHEN IN KINGSBRIDGE OFFERS DELICIOUS BARBECUE MENUS Devon-based Claire’s Kitchen in Kingsbridge offers delicious barbecue menus including vegetarian options for local weddings. With more than 30 years of experience behind her, owner Claire Wallace and the team ensure every detail is well organised for each wedding, whether the couple book a barbecue, a spit roast or another creative, delicious wedding menu. Claire has developed her own spit roast and barbecue equipment designed to cook over hardwood and charcoal. This authentic way creates wonderful aromas and most importantly, it captures that tasty barbecued flavour, as well as being a spectacle for wedding guests. These mouth-watering menus can be offered preferably with a good number of choices served from a large buffet table with staff to assist with not only the serving but collecting guests a table at a time. Staff can carve the meat straight on to each plate ensuring hot food for everybody. Alternatively, with just a few chosen options, guests can share from tasty bowls and platters placed between them on each table. The Claire’s Kitchen team hand-makes food using local produce as much as possible and often has ingredients sourced from their farm located beside the Kingsbridge estuary. They are happy to help create a menu to suit all tastes and budgets. The business is supported by friendly, experienced waiting staff who will serve both drinks and food. The trained group provides a high level of service and is known for efficiency, unobtrusiveness and attention to detail. Clients usually source their wines and there isn’t a corkage charge for this but the team can provide a wine list too. A selection of meat, fish and vegetarian options served with salads are available for the barbecue menu with hot buttered potatoes, chutneys, relishes and more. Highlights include a shoulder, leg or loin of lamb with a stuffing of rosemary and redcurrant, and a whole side of salmon served with crushed pink peppercorns, dill and parsley - what more could wedding guests want! claires-kitchen.co.uk NEWS WEDPRINT PRO INCLUDE AR ON ITS GIFT CARDS Cornwall-based wedding photographer Thomas Frost founded Wedprint Pro to allow couples to order photographerapproved, customisable thank-you cards and save-the-date cards.
