INSPIRATION
Desi Dining
Food is an essential part of any wedding but it’ s especially important for a desi wedding. With the celebrations spread out over several days, there’ s plenty of key dining moments where guests come together to celebrate and feast.
Couples looking to host their weddings in Kent might be looking for caterers that offer up something away from the venue’ s usual offerings, which is where using a caterer who specialises in Asian cuisine comes in.
One of the first things to check with your potential venues is how they can cater on a large scale, and whether they’ ll let you use external suppliers who specialise in Asian dining if it’ s not something they can offer themselves.
As for what to choose, couples are moving away from traditional offerings to combine culture with contemporary dishes.
“ Whilst the sit-down formula of a three course or elegant buffet has worked well for larger celebrations, less traditional formats are becoming more popular” says Bibi.
“ These include things like live stations where guests can interact in regional cuisine experiences, like chaat stations, live fire cooking, barbeque and Indian sweet making. At Essence our chef patron Atul Kochhar uses his experience of authentic multi-regional cooking with modern interpretation to cater for all tastes and diets.” wedinkent. co. uk • 39
