“We once provided a wonderful menu to represent one of our couple ’ s lives together so far … The Cambodian chicken amok served with sticky coconut rice on banana leaves starter was from a memorable holiday , their meeting at university in Edinburgh recognised by the main of Aberdeen Angus sirloin with a whisky sauce and haggis balls .”

FOOD WITH
MEANING
by Debbie Green , Chives Caterers
While some couples opt for very casual food trucks , many are returning to elegantly served three-course menus . A formal menu is the perfect opportunity to bring in elements of a couple ’ s relationship , whether that ’ s culture , the proposal , memorable holidays or just a dish that is really special . Bring the story to life by adding anecdotes , memories and explanations of the dishes chosen to your printed menus to personalise the experience and include your guests into your food choices .
If you ’ re looking for a safer way to share food and a more relaxed alternative , opt for sharing platters with bowls of colourful summery salads to accompany main dishes all served at each table . Slow-cooked meats such as our Outback lamb slow cooked in red wine or incredibly tender beef brisket finished on the BBQ alongside grilled fish especially swordfish with thyme and lime butter and vegan stuffed peppers give off wonderful fresh aromas that drum up a healthy appetite yet still offer the wow factor .
