Indian and English wedding food

Hello Welcome to hitched!

Is having 2 separate caterers an option?

Or having an English wedding breakfast and Indian evening buffet or visa versa?

I know most 'English' Caterers will have 'Indian' inspired dishes on their menus although these may not be as authentic as some of your guests might expect.

Sorry forgot to add these are 2 caterers I know of in London (not sure if they cover Berkshire)

Thank you Funky.

I'm thinking that the two caterer option might be a way forward, although not sure how it would work practically.

I will ask the venue and see if they have ideas. Think I might spend a few days sat with caterers and explaining exactly what I want and see if they can take the challenge.

Hello!

We are having exactly this too! Our caterers our "English" but are doing us a mix of British and Indian classics for our wedding breakfast - it's a hot fork buffet. There are plenty of caterers who can do this for you; I would just google caterers in the area and see what comes up. That's what I did and I found ours because they had done "fusion" food before at another wedding. Find caterers you like the look of and then approach them with your ideas and see what kind of menus they come up with.

This sounds intriguing! I covered a number of Indian weddings last year and although there was the cocktails and buffet style or finger foods, there was not one which had main meals covering both English and Indian food (kids love chips!!!). To be honest, I have never been asked but, I do find it interesting why there aren't many caterers with chefs to cover the diversity.

Our caterers are providing food that both families will be able to eat and recognise

Contact me via private message and i will give you their details

Thanks in advance.

Totally good point, never realised before that there's not so many fusion companies, I would also be interested in receiving the catering company name by PM if that's possible! I have a few Asian friends with weddings approaching

Hi can I ask if you found someone to cater your wedding needs. My son is white British and my future daughter in law is Pakistani. We are looking for someone to cater their wedding at Offley Place in Hitchin.

Would love to know what direction you went and how it worked for you.

Many thanks

That sounds like a fantastic idea for your wedding! Mixing British and Indian classics for your wedding breakfast must offer a wonderful array of flavors for your guests to enjoy. It's great to hear that you found caterers who were able to accommodate your vision for fusion cuisine. Thanks for sharing your experience and offering helpful advice to others who might be planning a similar style of wedding. Wishing you all the best for your special day!
