Food

Our venue advised catering for around 75% of total guests for evening food

We have similar numbers, but the other way round, so 50 in the day and a further 70 in the eve, so 120 in total. We are catering for 90 split between hot bita and cheese board. If you go for 75-80% of your numbersyou will be fine.


For timings we are same as you for our main meal but pushing evening food to 9pm slas our evening starts at 7 so gives the day guests time for meal to settle and spend a bit of time with our eve guests before more food!

Our venue asks for numbers and then caters and charges for 80% i would ask if they do something similar with yours

Who are these people who won't eat bacon butties and chips?

I'm already planning to gatecrash your wedding Love a good bacon butty!

We are catering for 80% in the evening

Our venue recommended catering for 60-70% of day guests and 100% of evening guests.

We’re not having evening guests but are also having bacon butties as our evening food! It was pretty much the first decision we made after choosing our venue 😂

What opened my eyes was experimenting at home instead of following classic pairings. I once cooked a specialty sausage with roasted grapes, fennel, and a light mustard sauce, inspired by a dish I tried while traveling. The sweetness balanced the savory meat, and the acidity kept it from feeling rich. I’ve also paired sausages with creamy polenta, bitter greens, or even seafood-based broths for contrast. The key, I think, is treating sausage like a flavor anchor, not the whole dish. When you build lighter or unexpected sides around it, the result feels thoughtful and modern. Playing with textures helps too—crispy vegetables or soft grains can change everything. Since then, I see sausages as flexible, not limiting, in gourmet cooking.
