Nostalgic Comfort Food

In the faced paced, social media fuelled world we live in, it’s good to know that many couples are bucking the latest trends & treating their guests to some old-time classics.

Menus packed with sentimental value, such as a nod to Grannie’s classic casserole, the fish and chips your shared on your first date or your favourite pasta treat,  all work well to add a touch of comfort to your day and give guests an insight into your upbringing, traditions and special family recipes.

Elevated Late-Night Snacks

After hours of celebrating and dancing the night away, your guests will definitely ready to refuel. The trend for fast-food style snacks, later in the evening has been around for a while, but this year we will see a move towards more elevated night-time bites which ooze class, as well as tick the comfort food box. Think truffle loaded sliders, globally inspired street food snacks and gourmet loaded fries – all designed to add a playful touch to the evening & keep the party going!

Innovative Plant Based Menus

Whether it’s a personal food choice, a nod to sustainability or a health-conscious move, plant-based perfection is on the rise with almost 20% of couples choosing to go vegan for their entire feast. Our chefs have created a mesmerising range of colourful, flavour filled dishes that are sure to wow your guests, whatever their personal food preferences. Our awesome arancini range, insane roasted beer and lime cauliflower tacos, and cool carrot & coconut falafel have all been huge favourites this year and our chefs love nothing more than impressing the meat-eaters with a perfect plant-based feast!

Family Style Dinners

One of the hottest trends for 2025 wedding food, family style dining is one of the top wedding caterings trends of 2025. More couples are looking for an intimate, traditional feel to their big day and these close-knit style experiences bring a real sense of togetherness into a wedding event. Large sharing platters, such as our traditional roast dinners, tapas, small plates and grazing boards work really well in this type of setting.

Mixed Sweets & Dessert Tables

If sweet treats are your thing, our acclaimed pastry chef Jo has created a myriad of delicious dessert options to thrill both you and your guests. And why stop at 1! Our trio of mini-desserts has been hugely popular this year – loaded meringues, indulgent chocolate brownies and delicate panna cotta’s have been the top choices, whilst decedent dessert tables are on the rise.

Interactive Cocktail Hour

As guests demand more interaction and personalisation is king, why not opt for a ‘Made To Order Cocktail Hour’. Forget waiting in line and ordering from a limited selection of cocktail, think made-to-order cocktail bars where you guests can select their favourite ingredients to be mixed into their drinks.

Couples can still select their favourite mixes whilst allowing their guests to enjoy a fully interactive bar experience with real wow factor!
