best of british?

[lollipoppet]

I'm trying to decide on a menu for our wedding breakfast and I really like the idea of having a trio of mains (three mini dishes served on one board) so toying with the idea of a 'best of British trio' but struggling with what to choose.... I really like the idea of a little cone of fish and chips but need help with the other two, any ideas?

Oh and can't do steak :(

Thanks!

Poached whole salmon with cucumber

prawn cocktail

Hog roast?

mini toad in the hole; mini cottage pies

The mini toad in hole etc was what I was thinking. Dp hates the idea and think it's not "weddingy" but I think it would go down a treat! I don't want boring chicken dinner.
Would you like this idea if served to you as a wedding guest?

I would love mini toad in the holes (or is it toads in the holes?)! How about mini venison pies or mini haggis?

Must admit, I'd prefer one dish. I'd find something unsatisfying about three mini meals that didn't go and were possiby short on veg.

I'd like a british menu but I'd rather have british meat and veg dishes, if you see what I mean.

Tbh I don't think I'd like that as a wedding guest. I'd feel that someone was trying too hard. Also, a too complex dish with too many competing flavours might mean a lot of your guests can't eat parts of it. Best to go for something beautifully cooked & presented but relatively simple. Or a help-yourself arrangement where people can choose according to their own taste

I think that sounds really original and is definitely something I would be pleased to see at a wedding - I find wedding menus can blur into one another after a while...how about mini game pies? Or perhaps something really interesting and regional, like Fidget Pie? Sorry, I appear to be obsessed with pies...

This website is fantastic and might give you some good ideas:

Good luck and best wishes!

Chrissas- I love pie! I'll have a look at that link, thanks.

I'm personally not a fan of roast dinners (shock horror I know!) and I don't want to choose something I don't like!

How about a mini hotpot served in a Yorkshire pud?

I love the idea of a trio of mains!

Tbh unless your guests are paying serve what YOU would like to eat.

Scrambled egg and black pudding?

I think it's a great idea

I like the fish and chips idea, how about a mini pie with peas?

It will be fun and interesting whatever you choose!

Just seen these other replies, thanks everyone! I'm excited now!
