I'm writing this in the hopes it helps other Brides in the future!
We had our Menu Tasting at our Wedding Venue yesterday (Hogarth's Hotel, Solihull) and it was great.
This is how it worked for us:
We were invited along to one of the venue's taster meals. We were able to bring additional guests with us, so we took my parents and h2b's Mum, making 5 of us in total. This meant we were able to try 5 dishes out of 7 for each course. Result! We were told to arrive at 2.30pm for food service at 3pm.
Our tasting was in a small room, along with 4 other tables of people. They were mostly couples but there was also a family of 3 as one couple had brought their son along.
We pre-selected our choices in advance, and these were brought to us at the table.
During the meal, we were also given the opportunity to try the house wines, which was very helpful as it turned out we didn't like them!
We were given a sheet to give feedback on, which the venue are going to keep a copy of in our file.
Now to make you all hungry, here are some pictures! Some are upside down or sideways, but I have no idea why lol
