Wedding Catering Cornwall - Buffets

Twilight Delights

Stuck for evening buffet inspiration? WED serves up some scrumptious food for thought...

It can be a bitter experience listening to the bride’s Great Uncle Derek raving about the mouth watering sit-down dinner when, as an evening guest, you’re faced with one of the remaining slivers of cake and a defrosted sausage roll. I know – I’ve been there.

Easy as it is to get seduced by visions of a succulent beef dinner or an exotic Moroccan feast for your wedding breakfast, don’t neglect the lip-smacking potential of the evening buffet. If you’re expecting extra guests at your evening reception, or should the scheduling of the wedding breakfast make peckish guests a likely prospect, it’s time to get down to some delicious deliberations.

CHEESE IS THE WORD
Cheese is being redefined as a wedding menu staple in the most imaginative and eclectic of ways. Think of the chocolate fountain revolution and transpose the idea onto cheese – the savoury equivalent of such sweet-toothed fancied foodstuffs. A sophisticated and utterly moreish evening option, it doesn’t half go down well with a glass of wine; choose Polgoon’s still or sparkling rosé for a sensationally smooth and utterly refreshing complement minus the carbon footprint.

Catering queens The Round Kitchen suggest the following tier of cheesy goodness. And if these flavours don’t tantalise your taste buds enough, get salivating like Pavlov’s dogs at the dishes recommended as accompaniments…

PASTY PLEASERS
Pasties filled with things other than beef, spuds, onions and turnip? Has Cornwall gone crazy? In short, no. Curb your guests’ pasty cravings with twenty first century imagination and forgo tradition in favour of a buffet menu replete with talking-point power. Then wash it all down with Polgoon’s sumptuous new sparkling cider, Polgoon Aval.

Homemade Cornish cocktail pasties making a beeline for your top table may include:
Cornish venison, wholegrain mustard, malt whiskey and rosemary
Broccoli, leek, Cornish brie and mushroom
Cornish smoked salmon, king prawn, dill and cream cheese
Marinated chicken, bacon, roast garlic and tarragon
Roast root vegetables, Cornish mature cheddar, onion and pea
Raspberry and apple finished with Cornish clotted cream

It can’t be sacrilege when it tastes so damn fine…
