On Saturday the 24th September we headed to Ashwater in Devon to cater for the wedding of Jo and Andy, soon to be the new Mr and Mrs Shepherd!

They chose to have a pole marquee which looked great against the back drop of Dartmoor, along with some great ideas that we are sure the guests will remember for a long time! The first being furniture made from old wooden pallets, the perfect wedding seating!

The day prior Jo and Andy along with their friends and family worked hard to decorate the marquee and prepare the fire pit.

After the ceremony that was held at Ashwater Church the guests returned to Jo’s mum’s house where we served prosecco with strawberries from an old dresser at the entrance to the drive along with some favours of nuts and biscuits.

The guests sat down to tables set, all named on the wedding day theme

Following the speeches we served a three course wedding breakfast that was made up of homemade leek and potato soup, chicken thyme and brandy pate and finally a goats cheese, beetroot and walnut salad, all served with artisan breads.

For the main course we served crispy pork belly with an apple fritter, chicken supreme with our famous smoked bacon and brie sauce and finally for the vegetarians a mushroom, tomato, tarragon and pine nut strudel with a Madeira sauce. All served with new potatoes and roasted vegetables. Unfortunately we did not get a picture of the main courses on this day.

For dessert Jo and Andy chose classic creme brulee with shortbread biscuits, lemon ginger cheesecake and finally chocolate and salted caramel tart all served with clotted cream.

Finally fresh filter coffee and tea were served with a selection of homemade chocolate truffles and mints.

After dinner the guests danced the night away, for some of Jo and Andy’s close friends they did not have far to go….

Seems like a great idea for all guests to stay in special tents!

A great day, with friends and family from far and wide. We believe that Jo and Andy created a day that will never be forgotten. Congratulations again and thank you for letting us share in your day.
