If you're massive foodies and want to lay on a fabulous wedding spread for your guests to remember you don't have to break the bank or sacrifice on quantity or quality. Expert Natalie Creegan of Norfolk-based Trios Catering reveals how:
She says, "Nowadays you don't have to have a big budget as there are many alternatives to the traditional wedding breakfast. With festival-style weddings becoming evermore popular, the type and style of food you offer can be very cost-effective. Our wood-fired pizza ovens, coupled with paella pans, work really well for a relaxed vibe." Other popular choices she suggests include:
Mexican and Indian dishes These can be set up as separate stations so guests are free to eat while they mix and mingle. They're also ideal for the evening do and are budget-friendly too.
Barbecue food This is another great option and can be served to the tables on platters or set up buffet-style. We include a simple starter and our delicious double chocolate brownie tower dessert is to die for.
Grazing boards Slightly more formal but still very interactive and relaxed. We use long wooden boards for serving, which look stunning and we can provide endless options, catering for all tastes including veggie and vegan guests.
