We have been given the canape menu from the wedding venue we are looking at using ( barn wedding ) and just wondered which 4 other people would pick? :)
Thank you

1 meat 1 fish 2 veggie

They all sound lush so can't decide which sorry!

Carrieonmywaywardsun · 18/08/2022 13:07

Belly pork, yorkshire puds, "sausage rolls" and the asparagus. Maybe see if the vegan option could be soy and gluten free too?

Whichwhatnow · 18/08/2022 13:09

These all look utterly delicious!

I'd go for the chilli beef, smoked salmon, scallops and falafels.

I'm hungry now!

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 18/08/2022 13:09

They all sound great! Good advice above to go for two veggie, one fish and one meat. I think I would pick the hummus, either the Greek salad or the falafel, the salmon and crayfish, and the croquettes.

Have a lovely day!

fufflecake · 18/08/2022 13:10

Yes the croquettes would be on my list

OKScarpetta · 18/08/2022 13:10

These are a great selection!
I’d also go:
1 meat- the pork belly I think (although sausages or the yorkshires would be runner up)
1 fish- smoked salmon
2 veggie- falafel and Stilton (I think falafel and hummus is too similar?)

they sound great, and I’m now hungry!

GoAround · 18/08/2022 13:10

One meat, one fish, one veggie and one vegan should ensure everyone can have something providing one of the above choices is also gluten free. Plus that means plenty of variety for those lucky ones that eat everything!

ConstantlyCooking · 18/08/2022 13:15

They look really good.
I would go for mini Yorkshire puds with beef, prawns, salmon +crayfish rolls and Greek salad.

kegofcoffee · 18/08/2022 13:16

It's a shame the veggie options are so naff, cos usually I'd say go: 1 meat, 1 fish, 2 veggie.

Instead I'd go:
Pork, sausage, prawn, falafel

Sausage mainly cos that's something the fussy eaters and kids will eat. We had a complaint at our wedding that there was no 'normal' food and they were hungry.

Juicesausagecake · 18/08/2022 13:19

Have you tasted them?

4 of us tasted and voted on a score card. The favourites weren’t the ones we would have gone for, and everybody loved the food at our wedding (… it is what people still mention).

OceanbreezeSun · 18/08/2022 13:22

They look so good!

The Yorkshire pud one for definite, the sausage one ( a good all round option)
smoked salmon, then the Greek salad skewer one.

ZooMount · 18/08/2022 13:22

I agree they are not the best veggie options but lovely meat ones. I'd probably go for Yorkshire puds and sausages, the fish sausage roll one and the falafel as it sounds more filling than the other veggie ones.

Countingthedays22 · 18/08/2022 13:23

Yorkshire puds and croquettes! Plus at least one veggie option. We had Yorkshire puds at our wedding and they went down a treat!

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 18/08/2022 13:24

I am a greedy person who will eat almost anything. It occurs to me that I would be like a pig in clover at a wedding reception where these canapes (all of them) were circulating, washed down with adequate amounts of wine (which I would buy myself if necessary). I wouldn't need anything else except a slice of wedding cake and a cup of coffee, after a decent interval.

Drivebye · 18/08/2022 13:24

Pork, beef yorkies, Prawns. Falafel

NotRainingToday · 18/08/2022 13:25

I would choose:


  • yorkshire puds

  • smoked haddock fritters

  • falafel

  • greek salad on a stick

Was it tiny mini pud?

fufflecake · 18/08/2022 13:25

Does greek salad have onions

Vapeyvapevape · 18/08/2022 13:26

I'd go for the first 4 meaty options.

QuickQuestionNotAZombie · 18/08/2022 13:28

They do sound nice.

It would be good if at least one was gluten free and/or dairy free, but naturally so people who don't understand don't think they're being ripped off(!)

icelollycraving · 18/08/2022 13:31

These are great options! I’d go for pork belly, Greek salad, asparagus and the scallops. I’d be going for things that don’t need dipping sauces in case they drip on dresses!

Madamecastafiore · 18/08/2022 13:35

All the fishy ones.

abovedecknotbelow · 18/08/2022 13:39

1 meat 1 fish 2 veggie

almondflake · 18/08/2022 13:40

I'd choose the Yorkshire pudding bites , the crayfish sausage rolls , the falafel bites and the salad on a skewer .
I'm just thinking of which would be less messy and the ones i would most like to eat .

custardbear · 18/08/2022 13:45

Yummy!
Croquettes and Yorkshires fr first menu
Salmon crayfish rolls
Falafel or Stilton balls
