Here you'll find a selection of some of our favourite recent weddings.
We loved getting creative and designing menus that would really represent each of our couples, bringing flavours from their childhoods, relaxed grazing boards and other delicious surprises together into colourful, personal feasts to wow their guests.

CHARLOTTE & TOMMY

Venue: Captains Wood Barn | Images by Lee Garland Photography
The Brief:
Charlotte and Tommy were looking for a celebration that was big on design and big on atmosphere. Captain’s Wood Barn is the most magical of local venues that manages to be at once rustic and seriously cool, and it suited this couple’s style down to the ground. One of the things that was most important to Charlotte and Tommy was that their guests could get stuck in and share everything. They wanted to have the sophistication of a three-course sit down meal, without any of the accompanying stuffiness – music to our ears. We knew the BBQ would come into play here, and brought out a favourite starter of gooey baked camembert with hunks of freshly baked warm bread to dunk and enjoy. Couple this relaxed feasting menu with some of our finest cutlery, linen and glassware, and you’ve got the perfect mix of laid back style and luxurious elegance.
The Menu:
Baked Camembert, Rustic Bread, Sticky Onion Relish

Words of Love:
“I can't begin to express my sincerest thanks to you, the ENTIRE catering and waiting staff for an absolutely stupendous day with the fabulous food and service. Your staff were so friendly, polite, helpful, courteous and made all of our guests feel very special for the entire day.
The food was unbelievable! I heard only compliments. You were so helpful with so many things like choosing the crockery, cutlery and glassware and the timings on the day. You made it all so easy and enjoyable.
I wish we could do it all again and we wouldn't change a thing.’
DANIELLE & CHARLIE

The Brief:
Oh this wedding food was just so much fun to plan! Danielle and Charlie had a glorious sunny marquee wedding, including a spot of messing about in boats on the river. It was hot and summery, and the couple knew they wanted light, seasonal, colourful food that would provide a wow factor and include a nod to Danielle’s Scottish heritage without weighing their guests down too much. There was some serious dancing planned for the evening, and they wanted everyone feeling fresh and light on their feet!
We created what are probably my favourite ever canapés – haggis bon bons with a very naughty smoky whisky dip. For the main meal, we kept things served family style, so guests could pass everything around between them. We brought out deli boards laden with charcuterie, cheeses and homemade terrines, followed by rare roast beef and a fresh and zingy smoked chicken and mango salad. When it came to dessert, we wanted to make a statement for Danielle and Charlie, so we decorated an antique dresser from Charlie’s mum, loading it with flowers and luscious desserts flavoured with summer berries. Delicious!

The Brief:
Kirstie and David wanted casual classics with a twist for their wedding feast, and were particularly keen to serve their guests steak and chips. This meaty main course is always one of my absolute favourites to cook. They also chose a dessert ladder to display their sweet treats, which is always a fun and interactive way of showing off our puds, and is the perfect option for couples with a well-defined sweet tooth who want a lot of flavours to choose from. This was party starting food, and we were more than happy to oblige!

Deli Sharing Boards
Ham Hock Terrine, Picallili
Balsamic Roasted Vegetables & Halloumi

The Brief:
Laura and James planned the most incredibly cool-yet-rustic celebration at Lodge Farm Barns, and they knew they wanted their guests to feel consistently well looked after and well fed. After our consultation, the menu we created together with this lovely pair read like a who’s who of ultimate favourite dishes. We have to admit to being jealous of every guest at their event!
From fun miniature fish and chip canapés, to sumptuous deli sharing boards, grilled steak and salmon and our secret recipe chocolate brownie stacks with lashings of ice cream and chocolate sauce, this was a wedding by foodies, for foodies and we loved every minute.

"The food at our wedding was INSANE! Everything looked and tasted incredible, and we still have guests mention how much they enjoyed it. Linda's chocolate brownies are quite literally the best thing ever, and I'm still trying to find one that beats them! Delicious!! Linda and her team are so lovely and full of smiles, and I would recommend them to everyone! Thank you all so much for such a wonderful experience xx’
