We can inspire you with details of our most popular options to choose from and can also offer tailor made catering to produce a delicious, bespoke menu for you and your guests. Caroline Laughton from The Gourmet Chef tells us why it’s important that your food is a reflection of you on your big day Always remember, you’re the VIPs on your wedding day. So, when it comes to catering, it’s important that the menu reflects what you truly want to enjoy. Planning a wedding menu can quickly become overwhelming if you try to cater to every guest’s individual tastes and dietary preferences. Instead, we encourage our couples to start with what they love and would genuinely like to eat. This approach immediately removes a lot of unnecessary stress, and there are ways to bring in flexibility to cater for all guests. With a simple, creative approach, you can offer variety without the added cost and administration of a pre-selected menu where guests choose in advance, then forget their selections, or change seats on the day. Food for thought Find out more at www.thegourmetchef.co.uk or call 01903 250 502. CHECK OUT CAROLINE’S INSPIRING IDEAS! This style of dining keeps the focus on great food, relaxed service, and offers an enjoyable experience for everyone. • A generous selection of canapés, followed by a two-course main and dessert menu. • A sharing-style starter, such as an antipasti platter. • A sharing main course featuring a mix of mains, salads, and sides placed on each table. • Dessert platters with miniature treats, or a 50:50 option where two desserts are chosen in advance and alternated around the tables, allowing guests to swap or share with their partner.
