What was your wedding meal?

[pantsoffbing]

And what options were available for the evening guests?

I'm just looking for some inspiration because I have absolutely not a clue what I want for the day! All I know is that full bellies = happier people (and also hopefully less blind drunk people, because we know our friends! )

I agree with this, ours was the latter. A friend of ours had their reception on their family farm, the whole day was participation all decorations, flowers etc were made by attendees of the wedding. The food was a bring your own style buffet, we were told roughly a type of food and then went from there. It was delicious anx so much fun.

Ours we chose and hired a chef and his team we didn't use a venue as such we had two seafood options of oysters & lobster or monkfish. Meat was beef Wellington and veg was stuffed chilli peppers with a vegetable tart.

I’d want them all!

We had a sit down meal for the wedding breakfast. Menu was starter: Caesar salad or leek and potato soup. Main: Beef or chicken dinner. Dessert: Lemon cheescake or chocolate fudge cake with either ice cream or custard.

Kids menu: Garlic bread with cheese, Fish fingers, chips and beans or peas, ice cream sundaes.

We had a set meal for the attending children with food we knew they would eat rather than paying extra for an extended menu as there was only 4 children that attended.

Evening we had a buffet. It was just a standard party buffet but because everything was home made on site it was delicious! there was a variety of sandwichs, fresh made pork pies, scotch eggs, pizza, fries, Fancy crisps, cocktail sausages, fruit, sausage rolls etc and there was a kids buffet with similar but more child friendly.

I have 2 friends that got married recently and 1 had a hog roast BBQ which was amazing and the other had a food truck and an ice cream van which was also really good.

There’s no point asking people about their wedding because nobody says to your face ‘I liked your wedding but the food was a bit shit’ naturally you compliment it . Better to ask what people liked as a guest.

I don’t like buffets, much prefer a served three courses. One of my favourite weddings though was a barbecue and another involved individual little cakes as the wedding cake.

Traditional type country house venue. We had canapés and either a chicken beef or vegetable main and 2 desserts.
We didn't have separate evening guests and the meal was 3pm as it was a later wedding so just has some cheese boards and breads and platters later on.
