Do you offer a Menu Tasting?

When you book with us on a bespoke basis you are invited to a complimentary Menu Tasting evening held the Winter before your wedding. At the Tasting you get to sample a selection of our delicious Canapes, and you are also served eight tasting starters, eight tasting mains and eight tasting desserts, as well as having the opportunity to sample some delicious options from our Fusion and Buffet menus too. A lot of our Couples have said that the tasting evening got them even more excited for their wedding day!

We have some guests with dietary requirements, can you cater for them?

Yes of course! Our Chefs can adapt your menu to suit your guests with dietary requirements or offer an alternative option. We ask for details of all guests with dietary requirements in advance of your wedding day so that we can make sure they are properly catered for. It must be noted however that we are not a nut free kitchen, and so our kitchen will contain traces of nuts at all times.
