The Top Wedding Food Trends That You Need To Know About In 2026

Tell your story

Curate a menu that reflects your journey as a couple. Embrace your favourite global cuisine and paint a picture of where you met, your travels and your favourite nostalgic dishes. Think sushi style canapes, holiday favourites, bespoke cocktails and childhood treats.

Family-style dining

Think sharing style roasts, large platters and gorgeous grazing tables and communal feasts. This type of dining is coy, personal, tasty and memorable – your guests will get to know each other easily and with traditional plated service out the window, your vibe will be instantly relaxed.

Experience-led theatre

Food can be so much more than sustenance, it can be entertainment. Live chefs, open flame cooking, interactive food creation and indulgent dessert stations can all add ‘wow’ factor to your wedding day fayre.

Sustainable feasts

From eco-friendly, reclaimed crockery to hyper-local ingredients, a sustainable feast is anything but boring. Embrace the produce and flavours of the season, reduce the carbon footprint of your event and celebrate nature’s bounty by making the most out of what your local area can offer.

Nostalgic fun

Elevate your canapes or pimp your late-night snacks to create a nostalgic nod to your childhood. Traditional fish & chip cones and gourmet pies with dipping gravy are great for those with northern roots, or go full ‘yesteryear’ with your very own ice-cream van and pick-and-mix sweet station!

More than just a meal…

Moving away from a traditional, 3 course plated meal can really help to elevate your wedding food to ‘more than just a meal’. By offering your guests a personalised, experiential, sustainably driven experience, you will be creating memories that will last for a lifetime. Rather than just a ‘must-have’ your food will become a central part of the whole wedding experience that will spark your guests’ imaginations and be a talking point for many years to come.
