ASK THE EXPERTS : FOOD AND DRINK
WE SPEAK TO SCOTT ANDERSON CATERERS TO GET THEIR ADVICE ON PICKING THE PERFECT FOOD AND DRINK FOR YOUR WEDDING
MAKE IT PERSONAL The best advice we can give a couple is to pick what they themselves want . By selecting a menu with personal significance , couples can ensure their wedding menu represents the two of them and their relationship . For example , a couple may have gotten engaged abroad and want to incorporate a special dish from their trip within their menu .
PICK FOOD TO FIT It is also important to consider how you want the day to flow and how formal the wedding is . The catering can reflect this by choosing not to have a three-course menu and opting for a BBQ when it is a more ‘ laid-back ’ wedding . We also specialise in a sharing wedding breakfast which provides an interactive dining experience , guaranteed to get your guests chatting . Never feel confined by your caterers ’ standard menus , don ’ t feel scared to ask questions and share your thoughts ! their guests to enjoy during the drinks reception which represents their own personality . These can be paired with canapes too , for example something as simple as slider burgers and lager are always a popular choice ! If you are having garden games you could provide fun food which complements this - for example , candy floss , waffles and hot dogs which can be presented on trays that are in line with the theme .
TOP TRENDS Going into the winter season , we are getting asked for a lot of grazing tables which are a fabulous way to achieve that immediate wow factor while encouraging guests to mingle . We are also finding couples are wanting to make more sustainable choices in their wedding menu , whether this be choosing local produce or having sections of their meal which are plant-based .
