As fine dining caterers and venue managers with over 30 years’ experience in the South Wales wedding scene, we’re like the personal assistant & organiser you didn’t know you needed. Every year, for many weddings, we help ‘guide the bride’ through the delicate process of organising the day. From the menu to the venue, you can keep things classic and traditional or turn to something more unique; whatever you want, we’ll make happen.
Our personal chef wedding service provides the ultimate in cuisine. Opting for a personal chef enables you to go ‘off-menu’ and to create cuisine as avant-garde and bespoke as you like. A seafood extravaganza, a ‘cheffy’ nouvelle cuisine tableau, fish and chips in newspaper with champagne, or even the most extreme gastronomy – if you can think it, we can make it!
So, to help you at the beginning of your wedding planning journey, we’ve collected some of our favourite unique wedding food ideas for inspiration.
Want to chat about your menu styles or dinner ideas? Feel free to get in touch.
(Although the recipes below are not ours, our restaurant-level chefs are creative and up for a challenge – it’s likely that our menus already offer something very similar, or we can recreate food items & menu styles to however you’d like them).
