Choosing food for your wedding can feel like a minefield. It’s hard to please everyone and there’s so much to consider. Bad food can ruin what would be a perfect day so it’s important to get it right.
Casual Dining
A relaxed BBQ or buffet can work brilliantly, especially for summer weddings. The courtyard at Over Barn is a perfect location for guests to come out and get their food fresh from the grill. If you’re blessed with sun, the tables dotted around provide a perfect place for everyone to eat.
The beauty of a buffet-style feast is there’s something for everyone. Fussy eaters can choose what they like, avoiding foods they’re not so keen on. It’s also great if you have lots of children attending, they can pick at bits they fancy.
Something more formal
Opting for a formal meal adds an elegant touch to the day and means every one can sit back, relax and enjoy the food. It is also logistically easier, everyone is in the right place for the speeches and no one is standing in a queue waiting for food. Guests can choose what they like from a menu before they get to the wedding, reducing wastage as you know exactly how much of each option to order from your caterer. Remember to consider dietary requirements and a kid’s menu where appropriate.
Food with a theme
Carry the theme of the day into the food. Why not choose a Mexican theme and combine fajitas with decorations for the ultimate fiesta? An ice cream van in summer or a DIY marshmallow toasting station both add a fun touch for guests of all ages.
Seasonality is also something to consider. Catering provided by Over Farm will always incorporate seasonal produce where possible. For instance, a butter squash soup would work beautifully for a starter at an autumnal wedding.
