On Saturday 12th May, we had the pleasure of catering for the wedding of Ruth and Matt near Launceston. The couple married at Lezant Church before returning to the family farm and gardens for the reception. The venue was beautiful – the perfect blend of a rustic barn and a clear, light marquee. A band of family and friends rallied around to help with decorations, simple yet elegant garlands of foliage hung from the ceiling.

As the guests arrived, we greeted them in the sunshine with trays of Prosecco garnished with British strawberries, Pimm’s and lemonade topped with fresh fruit, and orange juice for the children and drivers. As the guests mingled, we circulated a selection of warm and cold canapes to suit all taste buds including olive bread crostini with sun dried tomato and whipped goats cheese; crispy chicken skewers with a mustard mayonnaise dip…

For main course we served roast topside of beef, sourced from our butchers here in Okehampton, with homemade Yorkshire puddings and jugs of rich gravy or butternut squash, stilton and walnut wellington served with brandy, cream and garlic sauce. To accompany, guests could help themselves from dishes of crispy roast potatoes and carrots, green beans and red cabbage.

To finish, we poured cups of fresh filter coffee and English breakfast tea along with homemade chocolate truffles and mints, before pouring glasses of bubbly ready for the entertaining speeches.

In the evening, the happy couple cut their stunning wedding cake, crafted by the talented Dolly Bird Cakes, before the first dance began to the live band who created a great atmosphere.

The dark night sky was lit up with explosions of colour as the guests watched in awe at the firework display. For those looking to rest their feet and refuel from all the dancing, we served roast leg of pork with homemade apple sauce and sage & onion stuffing in a granary or white floured bap. Guests could also help themselves to classic creamy coleslaw, miniature new potato salad with fresh herb mayonnaise and mixed tomato, red onion and basil salad. Not forgetting the vegetarians, we also offered leek and parsnip cakes. We also served a selection of West Country cheeses, including Somerset Brie, Devon Blue, Tickler Mature Cheddar and Quickes Smoked Cheddar along with an assortment of wafers, celery, grapes and our own homemade chutney.
