Why Wedding Catering Matters More Than You Think
What to Look for in a Kent Wedding Caterer

Planning Your Wedding Menu: Our Top Tips
Start Early: Book your wedding caterer 12-18 months in advance, especially for peak season weddings (May-September).
Consider Your Guests: Think about dietary requirements, children’s menus, and cultural preferences when planning your menu.
Schedule a Tasting: Never book a caterer without tasting their food first. We offer tasting sessions so you can experience our culinary style firsthand.
Think About Timing: The time of day affects your menu choices. A midday wedding might call for a lighter lunch, while an evening celebration could feature a more substantial meal.
Don’t Forget the Details: Wedding cake, welcome drinks, and late-night snacks all contribute to the overall experience.
Seasonal Wedding Catering in the South East
One of the advantages of our South East location is access to incredible seasonal produce:
Spring Weddings: Fresh asparagus, new potatoes, tender lamb, and the first British strawberries of the season.
Summer Celebrations: Garden peas, heritage tomatoes, locally caught fish, and an abundance of summer fruits.
Autumn Feasts: Game meats, wild mushrooms, squash, and warming comfort dishes.
Winter Weddings: Root vegetables, slow-cooked meats, rich sauces, and indulgent desserts.
Stress-Free Wedding Day Service
On your wedding day, the last thing you should worry about is the catering. Our professional team arrives early to set up, serves your guests with warmth and efficiency, and handles all cleanup afterward. We work seamlessly with your venue and other suppliers to ensure perfect timing throughout your reception.
