Which vegetarian menu?

65 replies

I've put together two vegetarian menus for an August wedding just wondering if there's a favourite choice (tasting evening in November but it'll be nice to keep this in mind) or any advice on weather it goes together well.
Menu 1
Starter - classic tomato bruschetta
Main - breaded tallegio cheese served on a ratatouille tart with pesto
Desert - lemon posset with raspberry pearls and white chocolate fingers

Menu 2
Starter - tomato basil and mozzarella salad
Main - sweet potato, pea and cumin samosa with baba ganouche, coriander and mint yogurt
Desert crushed almond and double chocolate torte with chantilly cream an white chocolate cigars

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read. There will be a meat menu also but I've left that to my fiancé x

The first one- yum!

MoreSlidingDoors · 01/07/2019 22:52

I couldn’t eat either due to a tomato allergy.

ladybirdies · 01/07/2019 22:54

Veggie here - first one definitely

Ohyesiam · 01/07/2019 22:54

Bona fida veggie here, and I love the sound of option 2.

Can’t see how anyone would be disappointed by option 1 though.

First one is very heavy in cheese & bread.
I love cheese but many don't. I'm not keen on bready things.

2nd one has more veg & chocolate so 2nd has my vote.

Both look good but I would prefer menu 2

S1naidSucks · 01/07/2019 22:55

If you’re sure there are no vegans, then I’d go with the first. They both seem really good, but the first will soak up alcohol. I’ve found to my cost, that if a meal is too light, then so am I. 🍷🍷🍷🍷🤪

The first one is also more filling so will stave off hunger. The second sounds gorgeous too, but they could be hungry later.

Karwomannghia · 01/07/2019 22:55

Both seem lovely but I’d go for number 2.

Eustasiavye · 01/07/2019 22:57

Is prefer number 1.

Heyha · 01/07/2019 22:57

I'm not veggie but often choose it at events catering for larger numbers anyway as tends to be nicer but those two menus look really good!

The only thing I'd say is menu one is veg on carb start then veg on carb main, if you see what I mean. I'd be tempted to put the starter for menu two in for menu 1 as well. Both mains and puddings sound delicious!

Gigia · 01/07/2019 22:57

First one

DearLady · 01/07/2019 22:58

Menu 2 for me.

Tatapie · 01/07/2019 22:58

Prefer No2 tho ideally I'd like bruschetta followed by samosa cos I think you need stodgy food at a long boozy do! Also both vegan if yoghurt optional. And I don't like cheese much!

LizzieMacQueen · 01/07/2019 22:58

Menu 2. Tasting in November so is it a winter wedding?

hartha · 01/07/2019 22:59

Might be wrong but I think Chantilly Cream normally has Gelatine in it

nakedscientist · 01/07/2019 23:00

Menu 1 for me.

UrsulaPandress · 01/07/2019 23:00

But both seem quite light.

3boysandabump · 01/07/2019 23:01

I'd pick menu 2

nakedscientist · 01/07/2019 23:01

Chant illy cream is just cream whipped with sugar and vanilla as far as I know.

FirstTimeToddlerMum · 01/07/2019 23:01

I'm veggie and would pick menu 1

PickAChew · 01/07/2019 23:02

Both menus are too cheesy for me but the second one sounds more interesting. The first is lots of bread, pastry, cheese and tomatoes.

cushioncovers · 01/07/2019 23:02

2

hormonesorDHbeingadick · 01/07/2019 23:02

Menu 2.

sepsisandAKI · 01/07/2019 23:02

Veggie here. Definitely 2!

Millie2008 · 01/07/2019 23:03

Menu 1 for me; yum! I also like a carb heavy dinner at a wedding GrinWine
